That was an unintentional blogging vacation

Okay, so my last actual blog post was for Caedon's first birthday.  Sorry 'bout that.  Really, I just post everything on Facebook and neglect the blog.  :)

In the year since I posted, Melissa turned 6 and finished kinder and started 1st grade.  She LOVED kindergarten but she says she doesn't like first grade because she gets too many color changes.  I'm trying to convince her that this is not first grade's fault and that if she would just stop talking when she's supposed to be quiet, she would stop getting color changes.  My little chatterbox.

Kyler turned 8 and started 3rd grade.  I think he's really enjoying it.  He wasn't sure about starting back to school this year - he's like me and has a difficult time with change - but he likes his teacher and he hasn't had ANY color changes yet this year.  He's very proud of that!

Mr. Caedon just turned 2 last month!  He loves Veggie Tales (Beh-buh-bulls) and Super Why (Wuhwuh Why!), he adores going to school to see his friends and he's learning to talk more all the time.  I just love hearing his new words and sentences.  My favorite of his new phrases is "Ow!  Me me me!" which translates to "Ow!  That hurt me!"  :)  He also really likes to sing and dance!
 

Caedon helped us announce some exciting news this week - we're going to be welcoming baby #4 in May 2014.  I swing between pure excitement and excitement mixed with a little bit of "am I CRAZY?  How am I going to handle FOUR kids???"  :)  Right now we're talking about how soon we should move Caedon out of his room and crib.  His bedroom will become the baby's room and Caedon will be moving in with Kyler.  This is the first time I've needed to have one kiddo make a transition for the purpose of using their room/furniture/space for a new little one so we'll see how that goes.

I'm only 5 weeks so it's still very early and we've got a long way to go!  Melissa is beyond excited and says she CAN'T wait until the end of school to meet this baby.  We're hoping for a VBAC at the birthing center in Rockwall and Melissa says she wants to be there to see the baby be born.  Kyler is just as adamant that he does NOT want to be there. :)

I'm feeling fine right now but my morning sickness has gotten a little bit worse with each kiddo so I'm just waiting to see if this one will be the worst of all.  I've got ginger ale and saltines on stand-by.  I am super tired but considering that that was the first symptom of my pregnancy with Kyler, I'm not surprised.

Perhaps with a new baby coming along, I will keep up this blog a little better.  Maybe.  Stay tuned.
