Life from a 2 year old

I gave Jonah my camera one day this week at VBS to keep him still. The following is what I got:

I love my family! We have been on the go lately and when we are not going we are enjoying time at home. I have started a Bible study with some of the MOPS girls. It has been excellent. I missed this past week because everyone, including Andrew, slept late! This never happens because usually one of the children wake up early, but not this past week! It was nice to sleep in a little, but not good that Andrew was late for work!

I only have 2 weeks to enjoy time with Noah before school starts. I still can not believe I will have a Kindergartner! I am feeling a little more at peace now. I know it will be good for him and he will have so much fun! I was worried that him never being in pre school or preK he may feel out of place, but watching him...I don't think he will ever feel that way!

We are still working on potty training with Jonah. If he would just understand that you have to get up and go the bathroom when he need to go, we would be doing great!

Abbi has continued with her milestones! She finally pulled up in the crib this week and is so determined to pull up on anything standing still!

Time flies...

I have been a bad blogger lately! I have not taken time to write...busy living life! Our world is about to change when Noah starts school, so I have been enjoying the end of summer with the kids!

Abbi had her 6 month check-up. That bugger weights 18.6 lbs! No wonder my arm feels like it is going to fall off after holding her for a while. She is "off the charts" in length-28 inches!

She has also starting crawling, sitting up by herself, and cut 2 teeth this past week. She is growing up too fast for me!

We are working on potty training Jonah. It is going okay as long I keep after him to go potty. Sometimes I have to set the timer to remind me to take him to the bathroom. He is finally getting to the point where he will go by himself...sometimes!

Noah is Noah. Not much as far as milestones go right now. I am getting more and more ~~upset~~ excited that he is starting Kindergarten in 4 weeks! I just can't believe my baby is starting school!

It has been 5 weeks since I had the hernia surgery. I am doing great and the doctor gave me the all clear to exercise, slow at first, of course. Now I'm ready to shred this extra weight I've been carrying around the last, oh, 8 years! I'll let you know how that goes!

I promise to get around to posting a lot more...I need to so I don't forget our everyday stuff!

Have a great week!

Happy 4th

Just wanted to take a minute of out a busy family day to wish everyone a happy 4th!

Thank you to all who serve or have served to give us the freedoms we have in this country. Let's keep what so many have paid the ultimate sacifice to give us. It seems so many are being taken away...but I won't get into that here!

Enjoy your bar-b-ques and the fireworks tonight! We will!
