Quick Update Post

1) Jake was accepted into the GT program and will start the end of October,  He was getting bored with third grade math so in addition to doing 4th grade reading/spelling he is now doing 4th grade math.  We have decided that maybe baseball isn't his thing.  We only have to make it through October and then we can move on to tennis.

2) Victoria is doing the same after school program she did last year and loves it.  She is going to be monitored to determine if she needs to be tested for a learning delay.  Ballet and Jazz is going so well.  Victoria is becoming such an amazing dancer and it is helping so much with her confidence.

3) Andrew just this week decided to walk.  Still doesn't really like because he can crawl much faster then walking but he is getting there.  He is also "talking" quite a bit.  We have him signing a few words which helps.  There about 10 words that we understand. 

4) I am half way through this pregnancy and find out on Tuesday if we are having a boy or a girl  The blood tests came back and don't show any signs of delays which is good.

Random:
Lee's cousin was married today I am disappointed we didn't make it to Utah but we had other things going on here.  We aren't going to Washington next weekend and have decided to stay here and rent a hotel.  Kids can swim we will order pizza and have a great time.  Now to figure out how to cancel the ticket we bought for Lee.  Our anniversary is next weekend and we are looking for a babysitter but Lee is so picky about who we leave the kids with that I am not sure that it will happen.

Two people in two days told me it looked like I was losing weight.  A few others agreed who were present agree.

Random Thoughts

I sometimes wonder where to draw the line in this whole blogging thing.  I could make us look like the "perfect" family or I could deal with all of our disappointment and make everybody think that we quite possible have the worse life ever.  Or maybe there is a middle ground somewhere that I have yet to find in this blog.  Today was a rough day.  Don't get me wrong I am so excited that everybody around me is having babies.  But for some reason today I was caught up in the losses all over again.  I am wondering when it stops.  Maybe it never does.  Maybe it will be a life time of wondering what if I would have gone full term.  Several people have asked when (or if) we are going to have another baby.  I am not sure.  Sometimes that answer is yes and sometimes it is no.  But one thing is for certain it isn't right now.  Really I don't need to have a ton of kids to fill some void.  I love my two kids and if that is all ...

February

February was a tough month both mentally and financially.  The light at the tunnel was Phoenix.  Kids had a blast and it was great way to end an otherwise crazy chaotic month.  My goals were blah.  We paid off  more credit card debt then I though but I didn't sew as much as I wanted and I didn't run as much as I should have.  I also didn't read or declutter as much as I planned to.   Although I did reach my goal for losing weight.  So not a total loss. At some point I will file taxes and write a check to the state of Idaho.  I keep putting it off for several reasons.  At some point we will a check from FSA and our gap insurance.  Although a ten page EOB probably will take a while to get through. I think it was just one thing after another and I never felt like I gained my footing.  Maybe because I worked more.  Which lead to more in savings.  Still not where I want to be.  But better then it coul...

Family News

What a weekend.  I blew out a tire 5 minutes into the trip and then had to switch out vans we hit some snow but nothing major.  The kids had a blast playing with the boys and although the bishop spoke too long at the ceremony the wedding was nice.  The reception was nice and the kids ran around with their cousins and Lee and I were able to catch up with everybody on their lives.  I am glad our kids are older and don't need constant supervision.  Several of Lee's cousins have kids in the 12-24 months age range.  That age is so hard and there was no way they would be able to run around with out adult supervision.  It was nice to get some family news like one cousin is a polygamist and another is getting married very shortly.   Another is traveling the world and another has made their home in the mountains.  One cousin is trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon and another is just trying to survive her husband's major depression.  Sev...
