WHERE HAVE I BEEN?!?

I'm back and hoping to be back on here on a regular basis.

So, where have I been, and what's been going on?

I'll tell you....

We have been very busy with school work and other fun things:

Doodle Bug has completed 2nd grade and Monkey Man has gotten his Kindergarten class done.

They were both wonderful students...and I am looking forward to teaching them

fun things through the summer months and getting back into a regular school day in the 

Autumn.

Our Autumn will be busy as we will have a new baby to take care of and the addition of  Pooh Bear doing

more school work not sure if it will be more pre-k or kindergarten, Doodle Bug will attack 3rd grade and Monkey Man 1st grade.

We attended library programs on Tuesday evenings and Thursday afternoons when mommy was feeling

pretty good.  On Wednesdays, we have gone to AWANA for Doodle Bug, Monkey Man, and Pooh Bear, 

all three had another successful year and are looking forward to the next year.

Doodle Bug, Monkey Man and Pooh Bear all played a good season of T-ball.

Monkey Man is getting pretty good, and Pooh Bear had a fun first season. Doodle bug put his

best foot forward and had a good time as well. I am glad the season is over!

We are preparing to celebrate Doodle Bug's First Holy Communion this coming Sunday,

something we are very proud of him for.  He is very strong in his faith and for that I am able to 

thank God.

Tootlehead decided to become totally potty trained AND can do it all himself, but loves to have an 

audience (mommy) watch him pull his shorts/undies up.  Princess is trying to follow suit, but it 

isn't quite working the right way yet for her, her time will come.

I've been seeing my ob on a monthly basis and things are going along smoothly

with munchkin.  On Tuesday May 28, we go for the Level 2 Ultrasound, 

we haven't decided if we will find out if baby is a boy or girl..I don't want to,

but I think daddy does, will see how things pan out.  

Knowing won't make a difference for us, we need clothing for the child either way because 

of size differences and/or season differences...buying things early will lead to me only

having to return things after the child is born, so why kill myself with that, right?!?

(I hate doing returns if I don't have to!)

 Then there are the not so fun things:

Our family has been battling all kinds of colds/flus/viruses/bugs, but I think we are finally

on the upswing now.  I can only pray so anyway.

 

Van needed some extensive work to pass inspection, but at least it isn't a car payment 

for us, always a good thing.

We have also had some family members pass on in recent months, some were

more expected than others.

So, you can see it has been quite the adventure since I last posted, but that is okay,

that is what mothering is all about, and I wouldn't trade it in for anything!

I hope you will join me as we begin our summer adventures and see where life takes

us...all the fun twists and turns of life!

God Bless!
