I am telling ya, my time is flying out the door and before I knew it, I turned FORTY!! WOWZERS! I don't even know yet what I think of that. I am still trying to comprehend that one. The show must go on. Time did NOT stand still July 7th so now I am forty and three days. LOL! :) I did not have a big day that day. Shane is out of town...well the country, having fun shooting in Canada. But we did get to go away for about 24 hours Sunday afternoon to Monday afternoon. When you have four kids, one of which is 9 mos. old, 24 hours alone is a GRAND thing! :)
He took me to Myrtle Beach to a really nice place. We had breakfast, alone, LOL...it's the four kid thing again. :) We played putt putt golf, had ice cream...alone...HEE HEE! Then what is a couple with four kids to do next? We came home. HA HA HA!! :) We were going to go to a Japanese steakhouse, but it was closed, so I have a rain check for when he gets home. :) I'll post pictures from the place.
About that nine month old I have. That boy is a HOOT! He is standing now all by himself. He actually stood straight up from a sitting position Wed. His favorite thing is for him to pull up with my hands then let go and stand. He has made that a fun time. He is a really cute feller. (Yep, the one picture, he is chewing on a chicken bone and would not let it go.) :)
My dear friend that kept the kids Sunday night helped me get him started on a sleeping routine. Yes, he is nine months old and sleeping allll night has not been his best quality. Two nights ago he slept from 9:30 to 8:10! Talk about NICE!! Last night was a challenge, but at least we are on a better road than before.
I haven't taken him for his well baby check up yet. That will be the 14th, so I'll post his stats at that point.
Hannah turned 6 last month. She is amazing to say the least! You can't spend any time with her and not crack up. She chatters a LOT...we are still trying to figure out where on earth she gets that from. :-P She is a doll!
Lauren is getting older too. ): She has been my right hand girl. And left. She helps me SO much with Levi. I am not sure how I'd survive without her help.
Samuel actually helps too, but would rather be reading. :) He and Lauren have read more books in a year than I have my lifetime. Thankfully they have Shane's love for reading. He does love cooking too. That is pretty neat. He makes better scrambled eggs than I do. :)
I do hope everyone is doing well. We are hanging in here. We are still not sure what we're going to do when Shane grows up, but thankfully the Lord knows and we'll continue to rely on Him to direct us.
Take care and my the Lord be with you all!!
