2012

I haven't blogged since last year!  :)  Been too busy dealing with sick kiddos, one right after the other seems like.  I haven't even been to a church service since Christmas day cause the kids have been sick and the two weeks they weren't, I had children's church.  Thankfully, we've been able to go on Wednesday nights for Bible study and AWANA.

Random things that I've considered blogging about recently:

- Kyler made a deal with me that if he gets two calendars full of black and green (they start on green and can move up to black if they get a Bulldog Brag) at school then I'll take him to Chuck E. Cheese.  That's 12 full weeks so we'll see if he can manage it.  He said it was a challenge!  :) Oh, and if he gets ONE calendar full of black and green I'm supposed to give him $2.....

- Melissa got a haircut.  She looks adorable with short hair.  I think she looks adorable with long hair, too, but I just think she's super cute when it's short.  Plus I don't have to make her scream every day when I brush it.

- Melissa, also, is going through a phase that I don't think Kyler ever went through.  It's hilarious and I love it.  She's very into familial relationships and when she talks to us about people instead of calling them what they are to HER she relates them to us.  When she's talking to me, instead of aunt Kate, it's "your sister."  Chris and Zach are no longer uncles, they are "your brothers."  Grammy and Pawpaw are "your mom and dad."  Grandma and Grandpa are "Dad's mom and dad."  And sometimes daddy is "your husband" and Kyler and Caedon are "your sons."  "Mom, your brother Zach has one pet, named Rufus.  And your mom and dad have 2 pets and they are cats named Phantom and Ringo.  But Dad's parents only have one pet named Mitzi."  (This is seriously what she said to me tonight.)

 - Caedon is now 5 months old and he's so precious.  He's not doing anything new although he REALLY wants to be able to sit up on his own and would love to learn to roll from his back to his tummy.  OH!  I lied.  He is getting up on his hands and knees and rocking alot.  First step on the road to crawling!  Oh boy....  We've moved backwards a bit in the feeding department, because I've taken him off solids for the moment.  He's had a runny nose and congestion since we started it and I wanted to make sure it wasn't related.  It's probably just weather related but I want to be sure.  So we'll start that back up in a week or so and see what happens.

Okay, that's about all I've got the time or concentration for tonight.  :)
