So Much To Talk About

Wow! It sure has been awhile since I last posted. I first want to start our by congratulating Jon and Ali on the birth of baby Natalee. She was born on Monday and is a cutie. We are so happy for them. Go check out their blog at www.feldmancrew.blogspot.com and see the cute pictures. Please keep them in prayer as the adoption is yet finalized.

Our phone and internet went down for almost a week. It was nice not being bothered by telemarketers, but I was waiting to hear back about the job in Minnesota I had applied for. Needless to say, our phone and internet was restored yesterday morning and three hours later I got a call from the supervisor at the neurology clinic to do a phone interview. Of course the kids were yelling, crying, and just plain being naughty the whole time. She told me that she was doing interviews this week and would probably make her decision next week. So we shall see what happens. The timing would be perfect for me to get this job because the company that Kevin works for is in serious financial trouble. I won't go into detail but bad financial decisions were made that are now costing the company their reputation and business. We are both at peace for whatever happens. God will never leave us or forsake us.

In other news, Claire turned eight months on the 21st. She is crawling all over the place and she is quick! She is also pulling herself up on everything and taking some steps. We have had a few scares with her because she has started climbing up the stairs and has fallen a couple of times. Just makes my heart stop. She sure does keep me on my toes! She is getting very vocal as well. She has the cutest voice, I love it! I have also started her on table food, which she LOVES. She is a piggy, now if I could just get her to sleep through the night. She is stubborn, but she wakes up happy in the morning. She is my worst sleeper by far. Hopefullly she will grow out of it soon, I'm tired.

Lauren's vocabulary is blossoming, which means she thinks she can boss everyone around. Her favorite saying right now is "Cool it with attitude!" She is learning so much, but colors are her hang up. She thinks everything is green. She has become a little fashionista and is very adamant about what she wants to wear, but she would rather run around in just her diaper. Kevin and I are praying about this. Two Sunday's ago she tried taking her clothes off in Sunday school! Hopefully we can correct this before she becomes a teenager.

Curtis is still just Curtis. He loves to pretend and asks lots of questions about everything. I'm gonna need to buy a dictionary because he wants to know what every word means. He is getting better with his letters and I'm not freaking out about his progress. Thank you for encouraging me and giving me helpful advice. I really appreciate it. I still can't believe he will be starting kindergarten this year! Time sure does fly by.

Well that all I can think of for now. Have a great rest of the week!

Can You Believe It!?!

I would like to start out by congratulating my cousin Matt and his wife Maggie on the birth of daughter Lia Brynne yesterday. We are so thankful that God allowed Maggie to have a full term pregnancy, since we all thought that she would be born premature like her brother. The LORD deserves all the praise!

We are currently looking for a new place to live since our lease is up at the end of February and we don't want to sign another year lease because we could be heading back to Minnesota any time. I sent my resume to the neurology clinic that I used to work for and the girl that took my desk when I left is pushing hard for them to hire me back, so we will see what happens.

I was reading an article in Parents magazine about kids being ready for kindergarten and it dawned on me that Curtis will be starting kindergarten this year and I'm going to have to get him registered soon! I started freaking out...would he be ready by September because there is still much for him to learn. He is good with numbers, but letters just aren't clicking with him. How is he going to react being in a classroom setting and having to sit for long periods of time. I almost gave myself an anxiety attack! Then I started crying because my baby was going to be starting school. I am going to be a mess on his first day of school. He has grown up so fast, my little man. Okay, I better stop before I start crying again. :) Have a good week!

Name That Photo

Okay so I wanted to start out the new year with something a little fun. I took this picture a couple weeks ago because I wanted to get a picture of all three kids in the tub together. I didn't look at the picture until I was done taking a few shots and this one caught my eye.This is photo is hilarious and there is so much going on. So to ring in the new year, I invite you to caption this photo. If I get enough people to comment, I might even make it a contest. So leave your comment by noon on Friday and I look forward to your comments.
