Life

I think I should call this picture "teeth"! I found this sleeping bag at a yard sale for $1.00. I was pleased and the boys loved playing with it.

I feel it's time to update. What to say. Life seems to be spinning out of control. How do we get so busy? What have we been up to?

• I took Isaiah to the doctor yesterday. He's healthy, but we are going to have him evaluated by a speech therapist. His speech continues to get better, but there are still some things that he has trouble saying. Often the beginning sounds of a word are missing. For example car would be "ar". There is no lack of words in his brain it's just a matter of pronouncing them correctly. I have no idea what to expect with a speech therapist, but hopefully he will enjoy it and learn from it.


• I took Nathan to Wal-mart last night to get his pictures taken. He just looked at the lady with a sober face. We did finally get a smile out of him, but it took him awhile to warm up to her. For what I paid I'm pleased with the picture I got. Nathan has a fascination with putting things into things. This morning Jeremy found a matchbox car in each of his work boots. This morning I also I found a toy helicopter in Jeremy's lunchbox. The boys have two matchbox cars that have removable wheels. (Probably not intended to be removable, but if it comes off Nathan will figure it out). Over that last few weeks almost all of the 8 wheels on these two cars have gone missing. This doesn't bother Nathan a bit, but it drives his older brother nuts. Sunday I caught Nate crawling under his bed. when he came out he was holding a little cement mixing truck and was pointing inside the tank on the back and saying "wheel". When I investigated I discovered all the wheels that we had been missing. Often when things go missing around her poor Nathan gets blamed.
• Jeremy is staying busy with construction work. We are very grateful for the work he has been getting. The lack of a consistent schedule is a bit hard to get used to, but I'm adjusting.
• Not much is new in my life. Just trying to stay caught up and on top of life. I continue to gain weight much quicker with this pregnancy than I did with the other two. Is because it's my third pregnancy, because it's a girl, or because I'm just plain down eating too much? (no need to answer that question :))
