It's been a while!

It's been ages since i've added to this blog. Kinda forgot i had started it! Sorry! Lexie took a short summer session of dance, and i think she will continue with it when the school year starts. She got in to Reagan, so she will be a Kinderbear in the Fall!!! We are very excited about that and look forward to a challenging and fun year. My work schedule will change for the first time in almost 6 years when school starts. I will work days while Lexie is in school. Jonah will go to Mother's Day Out at FBC and to Nana and Papa's during the daytimes. Then we will be home together in the evenings. It's going to be so weird! My biggest fear is getting us all ready and to the various places we have to be ON TIME EVERY MORNING. Punctuality is not my forte, as most of you know. Mom and Dad are retiring, and i'm sure Jonah will have a ball having them all to himself part of the time. I'm staring down my 20 year reunion, and it might be fun to see some people, but i doubt i will go anyway. The activities don't sound like fun at all to me, and i just sort of doubt i end up going. Next week we plan to go to Sea World for a day, and i am very ecxited about that. I have never been and have always wanted to go! Jonah and Lexie will have a ball i'm sure. Jonah is getting so big! He says a LOT of words now and he is so smart and SO strong! These kids crack me up every single day! It's about time to get ready for evening church, so i better get going.....

Everyone's finally well!

Well Lexie and i have finished our antibiotics and Jonah seems to be fine right now, so Hallelujah! I am so tired of sickness and i can't imagine how mom's with more than 2 kids do it. Now if i could just somehow get the kids to go to sleep at nite and STAY asleep until morning, ooooweee! I'd be in hog heaven!

Mom turned 61 on Wednesday, but Dad put her candles on backward (on purpose) so we had a sweet 16 party instead. :) Lexie was the overseer of unwrapping gifts, and she helped blow out the candles as well. We went out to eat and she also informed the waiter that it was Nana's birthday. I thought that was so funny because if i had done that i would've been in BIG trouble, but Lexie totally got away with it!

Jonah and Lexie sat on John for a good chunk of the evening. They adore him. It's so cute the way they look at him. I think he adores them too!

Well i have to head to work now....

What am i DOING?

I don't know what i think i'm doing trying to start a blog, but here i sit. I don't have time to keep this up, plus i rarely have anything interesting to say, but i am going to try this. So many of my family live far away, and this could be a good way to keep them up to speed on what the kids are doing. Lexie just turned 5 and Jonah is 15 months old now, and it seems like they both do new things every day. Our days consist of running errands, and whenever possible we go to the park, children's museum, duck pond, or maybe astro golfing. Lexie loves to draw and color and sculpt with clay and playdough. Jonah really enjoys tearing things up and putting them in his mouth. He runs faster than i do, so this can be a problem. They both love music. They dance and sing and i'm so glad because i can no longer afford to leave the apartment for entertainment! :)

Of course i still have Bob and Bella. Bob will turn 11 in April and Bella will be 8 in August ( i think. i need to double check on that one.) Some of you know Bob was missing for a week prior to Thanksgiving. That made me very aware that no matter how annoying those cats can be, they are members of our family. We were just devastated while he was missing. He turned up on Thanksgiving night, a week to the minute almost from when he had gotten out in the first place. That was a great lesson about answered prayer for Miss Lexie.

Well Jonah is waking up from his nap and i must get these kids to the library before Lexie just has a cow, so i must go but will try to have more updates soon!
