What's New

I cannot believe that it has been almost a month since I posted. We have moved in to the new house. We moved in on August 28, the same day that we physically closed on the old house. Kind of sad. We have been in the new house about three weeks now and finally got the Internet hooked back up. I have been dying without it. I think that I am more hooked on it then the cell phone, well maybe the same. We still have a few boxes to unpack and are adjusting to sleeping in a queen bed again instead of a king, yuck!

Z Man started school and is loving it. Most of his friends from the past years are in the other kindergarten class, but they do so much together. There are 10 children in each room with two teachers. I am so excited for him and can't wait to see all that he will learn. He has gotten many compliments from the teacher, such as; being a good friend, a good helper and this is the one that got us all how patient he is? Do they have the right child, c'mon my child is not patient, but you know what they say they are different around other people. Z has had a bit of a hard time adjusting to his new room, we have allowed him to sleep with us to help, but the bed is just too small, so I usually end up sleeping on the couch. We got each of them a sleeping bag on Monday and is allowed to bring his sleeping bag in our room and sleep on the floor if he is scared and then we will slowly wean that off as well.

M is so ready to go to school, unfortunately we are wait listed at every school known to man kind. I try every few days to check, but to no avail we must continue to wait. M decided that my phone needed a bath, so she took my less than a month old phone and put it in the washer for me. No insurance, just lovely. I am off to the phone store tomorrow to negotiate on the possibility of a new phone. Other than that she loves to sing and put on a show for anyone who will listen. She performed at Target on Tuesday, love it!

Baby S is still wonderful, content and sweet, but rolling everywhere. I think that she is in the beginning stages of teething. She is seriously me best baby yet, I love all of my children, but she is so calm!

Robert still likes his job and we have gotten so spoiled with having him at home with us. With the move and the holiday weekend, then he had the next Friday off, then with Ike coming through they closed for a few days. Next week will be very long with him being gone all week, not looking forward to that!

We are very excited that we will be having a new niece or nephew soon. My brother and his wife are expecting there first child in March. Z and M are very excited and we talk about what is growing in Aunt Gretchen's belly, M says a girl and Z says a boy, only time will tell.

Jill stopped by for a visit a few weeks back and the children were excited to see her and show her there new house, they really miss her as I know that she misses them. I hope that she finds a good job soon! We are lucky enough to have another good friends sister two days a week, we get to borrow Aunt Neen. It was so funny at first Z was not to sure about her, he wanted his Jill back, but he has really warmed up to her. He even named one of his new fish after her and loves to sing her songs! Thanks to A and R for letting us borrow your Neen. I hope that Big and Little A are enjoying having there Jill Pill back, because we are missing her, thanks for letting us borrow Jill Pill for two great years. M has warmed up well to Andrea, the new MWF sitter, Z is not so sure and says that he wants Janeen or Jill not Andrea. We decided that he is a lot slower to warm up to people and you really have to win his trust. I am trying hard to make Andrea feel welcome, but it is hard because I was so comfortable with Jill and I am with Janeen as well, I know in time it will be fine. Janeen is also helping with my grandmother and I think enjoying it, I think that she has some funny stories to tell.

Work is good for me as well busy, busy and on that note I better go to sleep tomorrow is an early day.
