Blog Update

I have been so busy I am rarely able to get on the computer to do anything other than check my email. But tonight I thought I'd do a little update.

This past weekend we celebrated Reilly's 9th birthday, watched her play in 3 soccer games, and the two little ones and I briefly went to Relay for Life to walk with Geege and Tim.

These past few months Ellie Mae has learned to army crawl, eat baby food, and has grown out of tons of clothes. She has also cut 2 new teeth and loves watching her sisters play.

Maddy is my little fire cracker. She is a very curious and determined little girl. She loves to color, play at the park, and watch as many shows of Dora, Diego, or Kai-Lan that she can get away with in one day. The picture below is one that I took today after she got her hands on her Desitin and rubbed it all over herself like it was a tube of lotion. (FYI: It was a bit of a challenge getting it off of her, out of her hair, and out of the carpet... it's oily)

I find that my days are consumed with feedings, diaper changes, giving baths, helping with homework, laundry, dishes, and general house cleaning. But I look forward to Wednesdays because my mom watches the girls while I meet up with a sweet group of ladies to discuss the bible (we're currently studying the book of Daniel).

Nick had shoulder surgery a couple of months ago and has recovered from it amazingly. He is still going to PT but he's made great progress! His current position at work is extremely time consuming... he's doing the job of 3 captains and he's been assistant coaching Reilly's Spring Select soccer team.

Well, that's it for the update... heading to bed!
