More updates...

Ha-Ha Cissy, Colin is still 7:) Life has just been taking up all 24 hours of the day. Literally. Lauren and Sadie are now sharing their room and I think both of them are still getting use to each other. Like this morning when Sadie woke up at 6:30 to nurse Lauren took it upon herself to wake up too. I am a firm believer in children staying in bed at least until 7:00 but after a discipline and 2 very awake little girls I decided this morning it was not happening. Besides waking up early Lauren has decided that you are a girl when you wear a dress, and otherwise you look like a boy. Hence a dress everyday. Sometimes 2 or 3 depending on whether we make it to the restroom in time. Colin has lost his two front teeth:) I love it, I think its just so cute when they have no teeth in the front and the lisp slightly. Unfortunately one of them didn't fall out naturally, apparently the snaggle tooth in the front was an extra one and it was pulled a week or so ago. He did so well and they even let him keep the pulled tooth, I swear it was about an inch long...disgusting. He has also been able to take days off his punishment because he has on several occasions choose wisely instead of foolishly or selfishly. This has been indeed a big deal in our home. We are all excited when we get to rejoice for changed behavior.
Sadie is doing just wonderful aside from being distracted by above sister and not sleeping in like she use to. it has been twice now that I have found miss Lauren in her crib with her in the wee hours of the morning. She is eating like a little piggy and growing everyday. She scoots/rolls all around the floor and you will often find her half way under the sofa or bed. Her hair is getting thicker by the minute and I am sure in no time she will be sporting bows:) Taylor has been a huge help within our home (usually;) She recently served at one of her first Metro Youth events. (I still cant believe I have a middle schooler) It was the Senior Luncheon, Grams and Gramps sat at her table and I believe they made wonderful memories. Well, that's us lately on top of Homeschooling, Home group, Piano, Singles, Deluge, Worship Team, Accountability, Cleaning, Cooking, Grocery shopping (a job in itself) Leading, Submitting;), being a mommy and a wife, oh did I mention I was trying to exercise too?
