time just flies by lately. i never have the time these days to sit down and do this reguglarly like i'd like to.. but i'm still trying. because today lynley pulled out the 2009 book and giggled and laughed at all her baby pictures :) makes it allll worth it!
i'll just do an update for each family member:
Tyler: ty is working his tail off these days. working his full time sales job at john deere and then coming home and working as full time general contractor at the house. (yep! we started! and walls are going up TODAY!) He is also busy with the scouts. his responsibilities are huge and time consuming and lots of nights he just comes in the door late and beyond tired. but then his mind races with the next thing he has to do. i don't know how he juggles it all. his life is very demanding right now!
me: speaking of juggling... juggling these three girls of ours full time is hard! But rewarding of course. i am just keeping my head above the water over here, maintaing our day to day, trying to keep everyone healthy and happy with clean clothes and diapers and fed and all that. it's a big job, but someones gotta do it!
lynley: she got her tonsils out 12 days ago! what a difference already! she is sleeping better, and her voice is way higher and less nasaly. the doctor said her tonislis and aednoids were ginormous and he was surprised that she wasnt having a chronic problem with choking on food. what a light bulb moment for us after the years of struggling to answer why she throws up regularly. poor girl. but the surgery went really well, and her recovery has been not too bad either. she is on spring break right now, but come monday she's starting tball! that shoulod be fun for her. she's enjoying school, and learning lots. she's such a big helper and LOVES her little sisters.
callie: potty training?! nope. i tried. shes just too dang tiny! she about falls in the toilet even with the kiddie seat. she almost always goes poops on the potty, but call me lazy, but we're just not there quite yet ;) she's doing good though. the sweetest little thing. she crawls into bed with me every mornign early and just "nuggles" she's starting ot really put sentences together and it's so funny. the things she says!
elle: shes six months old!!!!! i honestly didn't think i'd make it six months with three kids.. but here we are! she is a really good baby. she rolls all around, still not sitting up though. she likes pears and blueberries and carrots and sweet potatoes. and her baba's of course. she's waking up 1-2x a night which is fine by me. she likes her sisters, and no one can make her laugh like lynley can! her eyes are super blue, i wonder if they'll last.
our house is coming along!! its crazy because i wasnt sure if we'd ever actually get HERE. it has been in the works for over a full year. and now, here we are! we are building our forever home. the home taht we will raise our daughters in. and the home taht we will continue to build our lives in. where we will face good times and hard. it's amazing.. to build something that's ours. something that is going to be our place, our refuge from the storms of life. it's beautiful. and i'm trying hard to focus on THAT. and not let anything ruin this for us. :)
k here's some picutres to update the book. hopefull i'll be able to update sooner enxt time :)
