Way Over Due...

I know that I am way over due for an update.  Things have been pretty "out of norm" around here lately.  (Yes, I sat here for about a minute, trying to decide what words to use to describe our life as of late.  That was the best I could come up with.)

Caiden is doing well.  He loves trying to read new words, sounding things out, playing with numbers- watching the clock or adding things, playing, singing, and having fun.  He is such a smart little guy and I sure love him!  I really need to decide if I'm going to homeschool him because it's already time for kindergarten enrollment!!!  He loves to be outside and he LOVES to go biking!


Ellee has been paci free for a month now!!!  It was a pretty rough transition but she never even asks about her pacis anymore.  I am thankful they are out of her life, and that she is starting to get back to a normal night sleeping routine.  It is still a battle getting her to sleep (naps and night) but at least she stays asleep (for the most part) once she gives in!  She, too, loves singing, playing, coloring, drawing, learning, reading, and most importantly, cuddling with Mama!!  :-)  Hard to believe she will be three next month!  Oh yeah, and she loves helping me with everything around the house (dishes, laundry, cooking, caring for Cole- anything I let her help with!)


Cole had his 15 month well check a week or so ago.  He is growing well (19 1/2 lbs) and doing everything (or more, of course, right??) that he is supposed to be doing.  He brings a joy to everyone he meets- even when he is showing off the little bit of attitude he is starting to show off.  He is such a happy little guy- loves music, playing with his big brother and sister, and his little cousin, too.  His favorite word right now is "downstairs" and he gets his shoes and runs to the basement door regularly to let us know what he wants to do.  He is still a great sleeper, though he has been waking up around 1 am the past several nights.  All the kids have dealt with different sicknesses the past month (ear infections, colds, coughs, tummy bug) so I think it might have had something to do with that.  I am sure am looking forward to getting back to sleeping through the night again someday!  He is so much fun, but he is great at getting into things he is not supposed to!!  :-)

 

I have been having fun with my sewing projects.  They have been an opportunity for me to just enjoy time to myself and feel like I am being productive.  I have been thankful for the "customers" I have been blessed with and hope to see my business continue to grow!  It has also been fun for me to figure out how to build a website (thanks to my wonderful brother's guidance).  Go check out all the changes on my site, especially if you haven't seen it yet!
