So here are a few updates:)
Colin turned 7! We had a very low key celebration...he got 75.00 in gift cards and $$$ and has since then tried to convince Jonathan and I to fork over a little more and let him get a DS! The "debate" is still ongoing. Besides starting school 2 weeks ago I also started potty training Lauren. She has really done great, we have had our share of accidents (about 1 a day for the first week) but she would simply say "oh, sorry mom, I 'peep' on the potty next time" she looks adorable in little panties and has kept her pull ups pretty dry during naps and bed...Taylor is doing well and working through some tween seasons of her own. we have had some really good conversations lately and I am praying for fruit to be produced:) She was extremely pleased when I announced math was taking just too long and we were going to cut our usual 30 problems into 15! I know she was thinking who are you and where is my evil teacher/mom from last year?? Sadie just turned 4 months!!! I cant believe how fast time has gone by! I love watching her grow and show us her little personality. She has started crying/screaming now when she gets mad, she rarely does this so its almost comical to Jonathan and I when she does, we try to tell her we have had much worse;) She went for a well check up this past Wednesday, she weighed 13 lbs. 13 oz. and she was 25 1/4 ins. long. She is "recovering" from her battle wounds...3 shots, it was so sad. She just stared at me with her big eyes, giving me the "why would you let them do this to me" look. That seems to sum up our last 2 weeks, minus the numerous opportunities the Lord allowed me to have to train my children in the way they should go, and the 4 days of rain, our pool has now officially overflowed and I believe there are about 2000 frogs that have had their honeymoon outside of our home (I hate frogs! Weren't they part of the plague series??)
