Lets hear how things have been going for everyone. Basically a check in






Well for us, life has become busy but scheduled so it's nice. Gage is in kinder now so I have a daily routine that seems to be working. I'm getting used to it, he is thankfully adjusting and we will be heading into week 3 next week. He's doing great and loves his school.

My 2 year old, Dane, has been good but showing some signs of not sure what to do without the bossy big brother around. So he's been taking some aggression out on Bishop. Not in a mean way, but trying to assert himself that he's now like the boss. We're working on trying to help him calm down and he's doing well, but he's also only 2. I don't expect him to completely understand why he feels the way he does.

Bishop is doing great. He is walking all the time now. It's all he does. He took to it so quickly I'm still in shock. I love watching him wobble around. I was sad at first but I just love this whole new level. He's being a booger on the whole milk thing but we're working on it. He goes for his 1 year check up on Tuesday. I'm sure I'll post about how chubby he is then He's getting a tooth, or more, so his sleep has been hit or miss. Super crabby. He also has shown Dane he won't back down haha.

In general, things are well, things. I don't really want to post publicly about it but there are some of you who asked to be on my vent blog who know what is going on. If you're interested, just PM me with your e-mail. Please know that what you read there, must stay there. I'm trusting you to read it. It gives a peek into what we're dealing with right now stress wise.

Other then all that, life is well, life haha. Busy with the boys, trying to get ready for winter and such.

Eta- We all just got over this annoying head cold that my wonderful kindergartner brought home from school. I can say this, I am not looking forward to anymore sicknesses but I know they're coming. I hope they're not big or yucky.

How are you all?

Marisa- Glad the boys are adjusting well to their new schedule. I'm sorry you're dealing with extra stress




We're about the same with adjusting to a new schedule. Homeschool has gone a lot better this year. Still have to work on getting up earlier in the day.
I have gotten a lot done in the past year around here (moved here a yr ago June). Still have some projects I'm working on in the kitchen. (I'm not a fan of the kitchen).

Still on my weight loss quest. I keep getting derailed but I haven't abandoned the journey yet. Going walking with Mom on SUnday around the lake and to let the children feed the ducks. Heidi will be interesting to watch with ducks. When we have 2 working vehicles again I hope to go to mom's gym and get a weekly workout.

Christmas is coming too fast and I usually make as many presents as possible. It's hard to find the time and energy for homemade gifts. Scrapbooking has been temporarily abandoned sadly.

Heidi climbs like everything. She spends a quarter of the day ON the kitchen table. Which is where we do studies so it makes things difficult. All day long I'm pulling her off. She actually moves the chairs back to the table to climb them to get on the table. The days of me finding it cute are long gone.

I'm looking forward to Autumn, I think it officially starts on the 23rd this year.

I'm good. Today was my first day being officially 'unemployed' so I did the only logical thing I could think of...I went shopping
I'm still waiting to hear back from the new job concerning my background check for finalization, I hope that comes any day now!
I'm kind of looking forward to having a couple weeks off with Holden, although I'm not sure what we'll do with ourselves with all this extra time, but we'll figure it out.

Things are pretty good here, im happy the weather has finally cooled down so weve been able to go play at the park and for walks a lot more often, which has been really nice.

Feeling super pregnant and getting to that done stage, of course i want him to bake until at least 37 weeks but if he could come as soon as its october id really appreciate it. i cant wait to meet him and im no good at waiting!!

Pretty busy around here. Lily started school so we have a lot going on. I am still adjusting to being a sahm. I love it....but it is never ending. When I worked dh and I split everything. Now it seems like I do almost everything, it is kind of overwhelming. He helps with the kids and stuff. But I feel like my house has to be spotless all the time.

I am trying to get Lily involved into some sort of activity, everything has already started and they all had sign ups over the summer.

Tommy is a ball of energy, he is so much fun. He is constantly doing new things. I can't believe how much he picks up on things.

McKenzie is trying to walk but it seems like her leg hurts her. The one she puts under her. She has a lot of temper tantrums lately. Ladybug is now 22lbs and have about 8 or 9 teeth. I have to be fast counting them because she bits down hard lol.

I miss my baby soooo much duringg the day. I have been working a lot of 7 am,8ams to 6pm. My whole check went to my rent lol and today is my birthday I turned 23. I am sick with the flu.so not a great birthday but I am having a Passion party tomorrow. I have been at my moms and it has been hectic. I can't wait till we can go home. I miss it don't know about Ladybug lol.

I can't wait till I have the internet so I can post more!

Things are going okay here. Same old same old.
I am just done with being pregnant where I wouldn't mind if he came beginning of Oct. The pressure, the constant up and down the stairs carrying Rosie and just all that is really killing me.

Rosie is well Rosie..lol she is really testing my patience lately because I am just exhausted and its so hard to move quickly to chase after her.

Other then that all is good and we lead such boring lives..lol

I am fine, much better than last week which was literally one of the worst weeks of my life with financial stress, stress about Jackson's health, car accidents, etc.

Work has been great, I have been there about a month now and can honestly say I love my job. Jackson is being treated for his anemia and seems to be doing fine with the iron supplements. He took his first steps today He has taken a couple of wobbly steps before where he kind of falls into it but this afternoon he took legitimate steps that were sturdy and amazing! I totally didn't expect it and am so proud of him. My DF is liking his new school (college) so far. We are settling into our new home state nicely.

Other than that, I am looking forward to fall and the nicer weather. I am trying to stay positive and remember how lucky I am for my family and each day of my wonderful life. We do have a ton of financial stress right now, to the point where my Mother has to spot us our rent money, so that is a total bummer but we are doing the best we can. Basically we are waiting for DF's student loan money and it will be 6 weeks late, for some stupid reason.

Hanging in there though! Glad to hear you ladies are doing well for the most part.

Things have been hectic here. Dh works 16 hours a day (which is his normal schedule), and I'm doing most of his MBA work for him (he just doesn't have the full amount of time to commit to the assignments in time for the deadlines). He starts the work and I review and make changes, which, for his writing skills and reading comprehension means I actually redo his entire paperwork (includes 2-3 papers a week and about 150 pages of reading - for just one class). Im tired. I'm putting off writing another stupid paper right now by coming here to JM. I HAVE to do it though as it's due in two days. I just hate it hate it hate it hate it. I have a bachelor's in interior design but I'll end up with a masters in global business management, only HIS name will be on it. blech.

Omair is doing really well. Walking, running, kicking balls. He is very very talkative, but doesn't say any real words other than ball, diaper, and dog. He's quite opinionated and expressive when he chats. And he'll chat with ANYONE and EVERYONE.

Ha ha Miranda I so know how you feel. By the time Josh is gets his degree I will have one in Criminal Justice just in his name..LOL Things we do for our families..lol
