Busy September

Well, September was a really busy month! We started pre-school on the 11th and haven't stopped since then. We have work, school, soccer practice (twice a week), soccer games, church activities, etc. I feel like I haven't stopped yet. But, atleast pre-school is somewhat relaxed. I teach in the 3's class this year (no more diapers!!!) and my co-teacher is great. The kiddos are even awesome. We have the calmest class. I am sad that I have to take a month off when the baby comes, I will miss them. But, atleast I won't be gone that long. I still can't believe it already October (and that it's been at or over 90 degrees everyday). But, atleast the weatherman says it should cool off next Tuesday.

It's a Boy!

Well, we went to the Dr. last Thursday and found out we are having a boy. So, that makes 3 beautiful little girls and a boy on the way. We are very excited, the girls have gotten more used to the idea of a little brother and are getting more excited. We don't have any names yet. I am going to try and scan the sonogram pics in, but they are kind of dark. But, it is definitely a boy. We got a good pic of his boy stuff during the sonogram and the tech assures us he is 100% boy. I will try to keep more up to date with my blog. I know I've been slacking this summer.

Rain, Rain Go Away

While the rain has been much appreciated by our lawn and our wildflowers, it has kind of put a damper on our summer activities. For those of you who don't know, it has pretty much been steadily raining everyday for the last month. Some days it is the nice rain you can go out and play in, but most of the days it has been a torrential downpour-the kind that will flood your house (yes, our house flooded again a few weeks ago). All of this flooding up here has been blamed on a low pressure system that has stalled over the area (we are hoping it gets a move on soon, but that looks unlikely). Our 7 day forecast shows rain everyday. But, while it has been flooding we have been lucky. The poor people in NRH, Haltom City and Gainesville have gotten it bad. While I am sure we will look back on all this next summer (when we are in a drought and its 110 degrees outside) and say man I wish it would rain like last summer, but for now I am so ready for it to stop.

Back from the Stoneage!

Well, we got Fios TV today. We had a picnic dinner in front of the tv. It is pretty neat stuff and since the tvis an HD Tv, we also get HD channels. I don't see much difference, but Jarrod has informed me that there is a huge difference. He is so excited he gets to watch all the sports channels again. He just sat in front of the tv and said "wow, there are so many choices now, what do you want to watch?" It is way different than before...our choices were pretty much ABC, NBC or CBS. The girls are so excited about having the disney channel again, too! So, I guess I will be catching up on all the Food network stuff and Discovery channel. Well, we have made it to the present day tv stuff and it's pretty cool.

Apologies

I know I should be blogging more, but with summer here there really isn't that much going on at our house. Just hanging out spending quality time with each other. No major events yet! So, I promise I will keep updating as things go on...even interesting things that happen during quality time. Oh, we are getting cable again!!!=)

Our busy weekend!

Well, now that I finally have a moment to sit, I'll fill everyone in on our busy weekend. Saturday we had a long ER day. While I was dishing up lunch, my daredevil 19 month old decided to shove her chair at the kitchen table backwards and oh did it fall! Our kitchen table is tall and you have to step up into the kitchen to get to it, so she fell backwards about four feet and hit the back of her head. Her eyes were fine, there was no blood, but she kept trying to pass out (her eyew were rolling back in her head) and since she had just woken up from a long nap I knew she wasn't tired. I called a couple of people and they said to get her somewhere quick. So, Ali took us to the Cook's Childrens on Precint Line. She was still trying to pass out and she wasn't really responding to me at all, so we were pretty worried. Jarrod was at a wedding in Plano, so I had no car and no way to tell him. After they took x-rays of her skull (4 of them) she seemed back to normal, so we thought everything was fine. Then the Dr. came in and said she has a skull fracture and you need to get to the ER ASAP. So, we head over to the ER, Jarrod gets the note on the door and we all end up at Cook's in Ft. Worth by 5pm. We are taken back to a room shortly after arriving, but didn't get our CAT Scan until around 8pm. The CAT scan came back with no bleeding or swelling! Praise the Lord!! But, we have to go back to a nerologist in a month to make sure that the fracture is healing correctly (the bone shifted about a mm and they want to make sure the bone doesn't grow all funny). So, needless to say, Mia is back to normal jumping from the furniture and scaring us half to death every time she takes a step. She doesn't go anywhere without us now. Sunday, I realized the girls had lice. I had picked about 7 bugs from Mia at the hospital (that's all she's had), then I got 6 off Emma before church (she had 1 more today after all the goo) and after church I got 1 off Kaitlyn (she had 2 today). We will repeat our regimen daily until I'm positive they're gone. So, I've been doing laundry since yesterday afternoon and I just LOVE laundry. Well, that was our eventful weekend. Maybe this weekend will be a little more relaxing =)

Laundry, Laundry, Laundry!!

Do you ever have one of those days when you realize you are out of socks, your kids are out of underwear and that cute outfit you wore 2 weeks ago is still in the bottom of your laundry pile? Well, Tuesday was one of those days and I finally finished all the laundry this morning. I got it all hung up, folded and put away by the time (the exact time) that Jarrod's parents reached our front door. Now that I got it all done I can sit and relax for awhile (10 loads of laundry later)=)
