Time Flies When Your Having Fun.......I guess that's what they say! :-)

So much has been going on these day's its hard to keep up!  The kids are all growing like weeds, literally!  I feel like all I have been doing this month is buying the kids clothes and shoes.....crazy!  Jackson is in size 7-8  and is 47 inches tall and weighs 45 lbs, Max is 37 inches tall and weighs 35 lbs and wearing size 4-5. Then there is little miss Lola! Well she still only weighs 22 lbs, but is is 33 inches tall and wearing size 18-24months! They all have been sick this month as well with everything from pink eye to strep throat! It finally caught up to me as well but only lasted about 24 hours, thank god!  This mama doesn't get sick days!

So in other news Max had surgery on January 7th.  He basically needed to be circumcised again.  His pee was shooting straight up and making him quite self conscious along with a pretty mess on the floor.  It was a fairly easy procedure but he did have to go under anaesthesia.  Of coarse this is always uneasy for any parent but he did great and we were home within a few hours! He did so great, he came home took a nap and that afternoon you would have never known anything happened! :-)

Jackson is doing great in school.  Learning to read more and more sight words and has even started reading me short stories at night before bed! He has also started to see a counselor to help him with all he's feeling about mom and dad's divorce.  He seems to be having more and more questions and concerns about what is happening and where he falls into this mess.  I met with this woman beforehand and really liked her and I think she will help him alot! He already looks forward to his upcoming appt.s with her!

Then there's Lola Grace!  What a doll baby this little girl is!  Such a personality and so kind! She says Please and Thank you for EVERYTHING! :-) So sweet and very independent! She knows what she wants and when she wants it and she's gonna get it one way or the other!  She is talking more and more everyday and becoming such a little girl!  We have had her 1st haircut and still working on getting pigtails.......she's not a fan of any kind of bow and hates to have her hair combed!  Definitely NOT like her mother in that department! :-)  That's when I see her aunts shining through!!! :-)

So here we are once again, welcoming another February!  Not my favorite month for many reasons but looking forward to my new job as the reading mom at Jackson school on Thursday's and this week being Jackson's star of the week!  His dad came into his class today and I'll be there tomorrow with cookies Jackson and I made together and reading to the class!  Then there is Valentine's Day and of Course the boys want to have another Birthday Party for Papa Ross's birthday!  I think this is a new tradition in this house! :-)  Looking forward to moving right into March with the birth of my nephew Henry the 9th and a weekend trip home to meet the little fella! :-)

As for me, I have taken this semester off of school.  Too much going on personally and with kids so I plan on switching my major back to Education and heading back to CVCC in the Fall.  There it should only take me 1-2 years and I'll be able to teach! :-) I will also be substitute teaching at the preschool this fall as well while Max and Lola both attend.  I am really looking forward to this! In other great news, my photography has picked up a bit and  I have also booked my first big Wedding to Photograph in NC in September.  Such a beautiful couple and I am so excited they picked "me" to do this for them! :-)

Well, we still have a long road ahead of us...........continue to pray for our family as we are still working out details in court over our family!
