I know I know

that I should be blogging more....
Here goes, the kids all have taken turns getting sick and generously sharing with both Jerry and I. He of course does not have a virus, it could not be a virus, it is much worse, HA. Lovin him even though he is a little melodramatic heehee. We went for his 2nd opinion and the verdict is an open MRI in Madison on the knees to see if he has some tears. They will do a laser surgery but no other surgery is an option until he successfully completes a medical weight loss treatment and sees a Vascular Dr for his lymphodema. The Dr said there is no way any Dr would cut him open in his current state. We need to turn his health around here first then they can help with the rest of his leg stuff.

Bethany amazingly enough standing for a few seconds on her own, sitting down from standing, has 2 teeth, for over 2 weeks, they are the 2nd teeth not the two front ones, it is hilarious to see her toothy grin. She is working on 4 more. She loves her daddy a bunch, she will go to his door and whine and knock, it is adorably funny! She loves us all but April has a special spot in her heart, she wants her or mommy. If April could breastfed I would be chopped liver LOL. She hates her car seat, getting dressed and diaper changes, she wants to be FREE!

The rest of the kids are doing great! I am so proud of them, even though they probably think I just want them to go away. I just really want some kind of peace around here. When I say to do something JUST DO IT, LOL. Please do not tell me you did it for me to go check and it NOT be done, argh! They are great, loving children that need to understand that the family will not operate with out them all putting in their help as well as ours.

Hailey is one out of 4 1st graders in the FAB 40, that is awesome! She also is the only one out of 5 this year that has done it in our home. She has read over 40 non fiction articles or stories on health, heart, mind, or body. Way to Go!

I am starting Love and Logic next week, pray that I actually apply what I learn, like I said I WANT peace.

Jerry and I have been going to church for Sunday school together the past 3 weeks! We are attending the Fireproofing your marriage sessions. We have been late every week but not because we are not trying to get there LOL. This week is the week to be there on time!

The children and I are also reading through the bible this year, they seem to love it! We are reading about Joesph and his brothers in Matthew, also reading in Genesis, Acts, and Psalms. We have almost got all of January's done, just got to read a couple this weekend woooohooo! I am so excited for us!

April turned 12 this past Friday, it was a wonderful party we surprised her good! She even stopped me the next day and said Mom thanks for the best party ever! AWE!

Going to turn in, I will keep updating more as I can think about it, LOL

Oh I know Monday this past week, Annabelle was jumping on Jerry's bed, hit the corner and had to get her head glued shut, that child is going to be the one that does me in from panic!

God Bless you all, until next time!
