Update time

It has been almost a month since my last post...oops! I guess the month of December got the best of me! We have been quite busy, since Evan's birthday nothing too much new has been going on. Just same old 'Darling' stuff. Evan had his first Christmas program at his preschool, the Grandparents joined us to watch him...and oh my, was it cute to watch all these 3-4 year olds and 4-5 year olds sing and do a little skit about Mary and Joseph. The entire program was about a 1/2 hour long, I think that was way over Evan's patience level, he was very nervous and pretty much just stood there. But that's Evan...whad-do-ya-do.

Mason's been fairly busy himself. He's quite the instigator and whiner. Not so fun, but he still is very funny and tells us the funniest things. He is done with his ECFE class and they actually cancelled it for next semester. We're a bit bummed about that, but oh well. He'll be 3 next April, and boy oh boy can you tell he's got the terrible 3's! He definitely tests us to our max. But that's a 2 1/2 year old!

Carter will be 6 months old tomorrow. We tried rice cereal, he didn't dig it too much. The very first time went ok, but after that he looked at me like I was nuts to try and give that to him. He's still nursing, which has been going pretty good. I've been thinking about weaning him, but just don't know when to yet. I think I will just wait it out and let things happen naturally. I'm not in any major hurry...I certainly like saving money by not buying formula! That stuff is e-x-p-e-n-s-i-v-e! Hopefully nursing will continue to go well and we get a few more months in :). Other than that, he's a really fun baby and we are enjoying every moment with him. He smiles and laughs all the time and he's almost sitting up by himself! You can tell he's so proud of himself too, it's so cute. He's a smart little cookie, he knows what he wants and he will let us know!

As for Brian, pretty much the same. He saw another neurologist for his headache and he's going to be going in for a sleep apnea test. He has his consult this Friday. Hopefully they can do it sooner than later... He's on another prescription (yay...more western medicine...) and I have no idea if it's helping or not. My assumption is 'not'. I try not to bug him about his headache too often. Poor guy. Well, at least there's another hope out there for him with this sleep apnea test! Cross your fingers for us!

As for myself, again, the same. Christmas came and went. The kids have been having their bouts of sickness (which I have to say, they have the best Daddy ever!!!). Brian took care of Evan so well when he got sick the other day, he took care of all of us! He's amazing. I am SO lucky. My job that I took with the company I used to work for is on hold. I worked myself out of work! I was helping office staff with 'catch up' stuff. I really enjoy it and it's been nice to get a pay check. I sure hope they have something for me again soon... The boys are keeping me busy, the Holiday's left me overwhelmed, the organization needs to start, and dinner needs to be made. =) And for that...good afternoon, good evening and good night! I will post pics in my next blog...hopefully if I get the energy to upload them to the computer!
