9 Months Old

Preston is 9 months old today. He has gotten his first tooth, mastered crawling, eating table food, completely weaned and pulling up on everything. He has his check-up on Monday, I'm thinking he weighs about 21 pounds. It's fun to see his personality coming out more and more every day.

And he had so much fun in the jumper (last picture) that he fell asleep. Too funny!

A Really Good Read

I don't have much time to read these days, but my mom recommended a book to me and now I'm passing it on to you. It's called Plain Truth, by Jodi Piccoult. It was so, so good. I'm a big reader and not sure how I've never heard of this author, she has written a ton of other books. And after a little googling, I found out that Plain Truth was a made into a TV movie. Pick it up if you like mysteries.

I cannot express how excited I am for the show tonight. Anyone else?

Giving Myself a Break

Working full time an hour away from home with two small kids isn't easy. But what makes it even tougher is trying to do that and keep everything perfect at home. Dinner made, laundry done, house clean, giving baths, etc. all while spending quality time with both kids is pretty much impossible. So I'm giving myself a break. Lately I have been trying to not to worry about everything so much. I'm so busy trying to keep everything perfect that I'm missing what really matters- spending time with my family. And don't get me wrong, Eric does his fair share, but there's always something else that needs to be done. So whatever I can get done, I get done. If not, I don't worry about it. And the best part? Eric doesn't care either way. :)

Thankful Thursday

On time again! I'm on a roll...

Today I am thankful for

1. Both kids sleeping through the night

2. How much Ashley loves learning, especially math

3. My baby squealing with delight when I pick him up from daycare

4. My hubby, who doesn't care if the laundry is done or dinner is made

Happy Fall!

Today is the First Day of Fall. I only realized this because the logo was different on Google. ;)

She's FOUR!

Today was our baby girl's birthday. So hard to believe she is already four, so many things have happened since she came into our lives. She is such a great kid, she is so loving and so sassy, the perfect mix. And, yes, she had a Spiderman party, it is what she wanted- although all of her presents were very girly. I will load more pictures tomorrow, my computer is not cooperating with me tonight.

Happy Birthday baby.

Camera Shopping

Just so my few faithful readers don't panic, we will be purchasing a new camera as soon as possible- it's Ashley's birthday this weekend and we have to have one by then.


And why does it seem like kids do the funniest things when there is no camera around?

A Tooth

Preston's first tooth popped through yesterday! Now we know why he has been extra-clingy and not sleeping so well the last few weeks. He is almost nine months old so it is about time for all of this to start. Ashley was over a year old when she got her first tooth, so I wasn't expecting it so soon from Preston!

And our camera broke, so no more new pictures until we get a new one!
