Updates

Not too much new is going on here. Just trying to survive day to day mostly. Here's a little updates on us all!

Natalie -
*Is working on writing her name. She can do it if I tell her the letters, but today she was coloring by herself and wrote "Nat". Never wanted to call her that, but she might be starting it already!
*Will be in preschool this fall, I'm just trying to decide between a 2 day a week or a 3 day a week program.
*Can be sassy/bossy, but is getting better and is great at apologizing for things.
*Dresses herself every morning and 'cleans' her room and 'makes' her bed.
*Eats NON stop. She told me "every night I tell you I'm hunnnnnnnngry". She ate an entire adult grand slam and came home and helped herself to an apple.
*Doesn't ALWAYS make good choices - she drew 4 x's on the tablecloth with marker while I was putting Jacob down for a nap.

Jacob -
*is still happy and smiley most of the time
*had a giant bald spot on the back of his head
*still sports a mohawk
*is in an annoying phase in which he wakes up whining or screaming everytime he loses the paci. sometimes he will suck his thumb othertimes I spend most of nap time trying to keep him asleep
*had forgotten that he can roll over

Kimberlie-
*has 164 friends on k mae designs on facebook
*has been getting lots of work lately, as well as an embroidery machine
*is just trying to make it one day at a time dealing with the kids and being tired from j's aforementioned sleeping problem
*is trying to work out at home, but doesn't like it very much. still i have lost 30 pounds since Jacob's arrival and I only have 7 to go...but fit in *most* of my pants again

Ryan-
*is still trying to lose his baby weight, but works out more regularly than me
*gets up almost everytime I do with Jacob, even though he has to work the next day

*still likes his job

Drake-
*loves living outside in the snow
*sleeps on any available couch when we are not looking
*got out of the house the other day and was gone 10 hours in the cold blowing snow. everytime we caught up to him he ran. we finallly put food and water in the garage and then when we came in used the opener to close it behind him. I no longer feel sorry for him being outside, he obviously likes it
*picks up the slack around the house since I've been tired/sick/busy sewing
