1 Month Already...

I can't believe our little guy is already a month old. Boy time sure does fly by. He is getting so big. I still can't decide who he looks like though. He has my mouth, the schoolcraft nose, and then he kind of has his own look. Although I do see each of the boys in him at times. He is starting to do better through out the night. Last night I got 4 straight hours of sleep. It is so amazing how different he is from when Noah was a baby. Noah never did spit up, and Micah does it all the time. Which I really could have done with out that. But if that's the least of my worries I will take it. I ask that you all might say a prayer. Noah has eczema real bad and he is also allergic to peanuts. I ask first that you might say a prayer for him with his eczema, it really itches him a lot, but also that you might pray that Micah doesn't have to go through this. Isaac never did have any and Jonah had some eczema, but nothing like what Noah has. And the allergies came out of no where. So if you think about it please say a prayer. Other than that we are all doing good around here. Life is getting easier with the new one around. Things have settled down, I guess you can say. All three boys love their new brother. Noah tries all the time to pick him up and to take care of him. So we have to keep a close eye on him. And then Isaac and Jonah are both older so they do real good with him. Isaac likes to just sit and look at him. He is going to make a good dad one day in the far, far future. But all thanks is to God. He has been so good to me. He has blessed me with four wonderful boys. Each one is a blessing in their own way. And I will forever be thankful for each one!!

Sledding Adventures...

This past Saturday afternoon we took the kids out sledding. They had so much fun playing in the snow. We were blessed with the company of Sis. Jackie, Bro. Johnny, Jada, JoHannah, my sister Becky, and my niece Connie also. All though I think the two oldest boys, Johnny and Jimmy, got into the sledding the most. But all in all it was fun to be out there and see all the smiles on their faces, even though it was freezing!!!

Potty Training...

So here about two weeks ago we got serious about potty training Noah. And to much surprise he has done really good with it. He still has his accidents, mostly when it comes to going number 2. But they say that is the hardest part of potty training. I can't believe he is going to be 3 on February 22. It seems like I went in to have Micah and, when I came home Noah was all grown up. As most of you know he also struggles with his speech, he has a delay. Well here lately he has been doing a lot better with this also. His speech therapist was here today, and she even made a comment about how well he was doing. I am so thankful for how well he is adjusting to all the new changes, and I know that God has been there to help every step of the way.

Update Of My Life Lately......

Wow I didn't realize it had been this long since I last posted. I have gotten on and read the blogs, but not done much with mine. So lets see what have I been up to lately? Well we are still waiting the arrival of our new family member. I am going to be 38 weeks on Monday, so we still have a couple weeks. I hope he comes soon, I am so uncomfortable. Plus I am ready to take some time off work. We had a good Thanksgiving. We normally do Thanksgiving with my family on Thanksgiving and then Thanksgiving with my hubby's side the day after. Well we normally do our thanksgiving at my aunt and uncles house, and this year they made plans to go to her sisters. And then my grandmothers house is too small. So a bunch of them just ended up going down to French Lick for Thanksgiving. We were unable to make it due to my hubby having to work that morning and then I needed to go to bed early cause I had to get up Friday at 3:00 am for work. So it was the first year I didn't spend Thanksgiving with my family. It was a little hard on me, but with the Lords help I made it through with only a few tears. And then there was Black Friday. I am so glad that it is over with. I really struggled to make it through the day. It's not easy standing in one spot all day dealing with crabby customers, not to mention being 36 weeks pregnant. Plus I got stuck with all the upset customers, cause no one else knew enough to help them, including our manager. But once again with the Lords help, and only by that, I was able to make it through the day. Then I was able to come home and enjoy the afternoon with my hubby's side of the family and eat a good Thanksgiving dinner. Then we put up our Christmas tree and some of the decorations this past Monday night, and I was able to get what presents i had here wrapped and put under the tree. I only have like five more gifts to buy and I am done...Yeah!!!! So that is a little of what has been going on around here. Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and that you have a Merry Christmas!! And hopefully my next post will have pictures of out new family member.

Another Birthday, Another Year...

Hello to all!! Well we had another birthday a week ago. Jonah turned 7 this year. We celebrated his birthday the Saturday before and Frankie also cooked my birthday dinner. And yes Sis. Frankie done the cake, which turned out great.It was the first time we really had the family over to our new house since we moved in. The weather was a little chilly, but the kids (both little and big) had fun playing out back. I am so thankful to have a fenced in back yard. When we first started looking for a house it's one of the things that I really wanted, and I am thankful that God allowed us to have it. Oh the joy to just to be able to open the back door and the the kids run. The Lord has really blessed us with this house. We finally got Isaac and Jonah's room painted. They wanted it done it the Colts. So now we just have to get Noah and Micah's room done. We are going to do it in emergency vehicles. We are just having a little trouble finding decals to match the paint that we already bought. You would think that they would be easy to find. I guess we should have gotten the decals first and then the paint....lol!!! I can always do a boarder, but I don't really want to put anything permanent on the walls. I am sure we will figure something out.

Then this past Monday we meet up with Sis. Jackie and her family, and we got dinner and went and ate at the park. It was nice to get out and let the kids play. We had a scare while we were there, but the Lord to care of it, and I am so thankful for that. By the time we got done eating it had started to get dark so we just let the kids play. They have beautiful wooded paths you can walk, we decided to wait and do those another day. But all in all in been a good past couples weeks.
