My Baby's 3

Well, My baby is 3. I can't believe it already. Her party was fabulous though. If you'd like to check out pics, go to my facebook. God has certainly blessed us with an amazing daughter.

What Summer's All About

We had an awesome weekend this weekend doing what I consider, the ultimate summer stuff.
Friday the kids and I went down to Cape to see Amber's new baby twins! They were so little and so cute! Micaiah was hilarious by how excited she was. She said, "oh, mommy, they're SWEEEEET....that one is the perfect sister...." Oh, it was funny! I was so tired by the time we were done with the day though, it was a total of 5 or more hours of driving.
Then Saturday we decided to hit the zoo while we were in town. That was so much fun too! It was unbelievably hot, but the kids loved getting to see all of the baby animals, especially since all the baby ones are out right now.
Then Sunday, Father's Day, we went to early service and then went to the County Fair. We watched the cattle shows and rode rides, and almost melted. Then we came home, napped, made a steak dinner for Daddy, and watched My Fair Lady until bed.
All in all I think that weekends like this are what summer is all about!

Season 4

Ok, so there haven't been too many updates from the land of little people lately. Let's just say we've been traveling down the yellow brick road...
To try to catch you up on everything would just be craziness, sort of like missing a whole season of your favorite show (gasp!). So we will just pick up on the premier of Season 4, say sorry you missed most of Season 3, and there aren't reruns...
Up to date, need to know info:
We now live in Sherman, IL. It is amazing and wonderful and quite unexpected.
We will be married for 4 years July 9.
Micah is loving his job.
We have found a church home: Calvary Temple
Nicole is getting connected here and there, but really just trying to take it easy, they say the hardest things in life are getting married, having kids, moving, changing jobs, etc. etc. and let's just say, I've been through the ringer and am taking a break to truly enjoy my blessings.
Micaiah turns 3 in a few weeks. She has planned her whole party out on her own and is totally excited. I can't believe what a big girl she is now.
Nicolae just turned 1. Wow. He has a little man haircut, he is starting to talk (I want...) and is running non-stop all the time. He is getting into a little habbit of biting, but we're working on it. Really he is a sweetheart with too much energy!
We have a dog named Clyde and a fish named Sir Walter.
Hopefully now I can keep you loved ones caught up. Missed you!

How much can a boy eat???

Ok, so Mr. Underweight eats like a heavy weight. What’s the deal with that?? I heard that boys eat more than girls, but check this out:
Yesterday
Breakfast: Micaiah - ½ piece of toast, 1 egg Nicolae - 1 ½ piece of toast, 1 egg
Lunch: Micaiah - ½ grilled tomato and cheese sandwich, picking off the tomato and leaving the crust Nicolae - 1 whole grilled tomato and cheese sandwich, plus Micaiah’s leftovers
Dinner: Micaiah - ½ homemade burrito Nicolae - ½ homemade burrito plus Micaiah’s left overs
The kid eats more than me and gets this little round hard belly…I didn’t think the eating thing started until they were teenagers! What am I in for???

Finally...an update!

It is here! Spring Cleaning! This year should be interesting, with two little ones running around…at least we just moved, so there shouldn’t be as much accumulated JUNK. But, can you believe it, this is our 6th month here?? I can’t believe it has been so long already. We (or should I say “I”) are going to try to paint as well, because this house really needs it. So…wish me luck this spring with these great goals! We’ll see how far I get before Micaiah tries to “help” or Nicolae eats something. Hopefully I can start having regular updates on here again…sorry that I got off track! It was a hard winter health-wise. Just to let all my relatives know, esp. all my sisters-in-law and Mamalou that read all these, I love you!!!

Be On the Alert for DINOSAURS!

It is true...they have returned...Dinosaurs are roaming at night...
About 3am this morning we were awakened to a blood-curdling scream.."GET IT OUT, MOMMY, GET IT OUT!!" it was Micaiah obviously. IT was a Dinosaur in her bed no less. So between Daddy, Eeyore, and I, we were able to chase that big bad bully away so she could sleep...but i got the rest of the story this morning. "It was really tall," she explained," and it flew around my room, fffew, fffew! And then it fell on my bed, really hard. It said ow! "
So there you have it folks, Lock your doors and windows at night, or you might have a tall, scary Dinosaur fall into your bed in the middle of your sleep!

My Kid has an Addiction

I have finally come to the realization that many parents have to come to eventually. It is hard to face, especially when you have those feelings of guilt and you feel as if it were your fault or you could have done something...my son has an addiction. He is at it constantly. At first, I thought, "Oh, it isn't that bad. It's only once or twice, he can quit whenever he wants." But now, this addiction has almost cost him his life twice, he has begun stealing to feed his habit, and he cannot control himself when around it...my son is addicted to eating paper.
