Missing the Bug and Bear



Well, the kids have been in WV for about a week now. Yes, I'm going crazy without them. Luckily, we have the wonderful ability to see them through Skype. The girls seem to be enjoying their time with their grandparents.

My mom is trying to help us out by attempting to get Aly potty-trained. She is fighting me tooth and nail on this. I don't think that she can't do it, I just think that she is being stubborn. Not that I know where she would get that from.

They will come home just before Aly's third birthday. I can't believe that she is going to be three already. I feel like I just had her yesterday and before I know it, she'll be leaving us for college. And I don't even want to think about how fast Andrea is growing up.

Andrea will be 10 on 9/15/11. It's just so hard to say and so hard for me to read. She is growing up so fast and there is nothing that I can do to stop it. She wants to be a baby doctor and has since she was a really little kid.

We got some news on her tests. The doctor had her tested for hyper-thyroidism. Her levels seem fine. Now I'm trying to get the results of a bone test that she had done a couple of years ago. The doctor is now trying to find out if she has cystic fibrosis. I really hope that she doesn't. I just want to know why she is so little.

Well for the last week of our kid freedom, J and I are going to celebrate our anniversary, which was in May. We are celebrating by going to a Bare Naked Ladies Concert. :)

Hope everyone has a great month and enjoy your kids while they are little. It really doesn't last long.

First Snow of the Year in the Richmond Area

Well, my kids are happy.  They get to sleep in tomorrow since they have a snow day. We got our first snow of the year this weekend with any real accumulation.   We probably got around 3-6 inches, I'm not real great as measuring the amount. On an exciting note, we finally got to use the snow blower that we purchased last year. Yeah!!!!  We got it last year and then it never snowed again, doesn't that figure. LOL.  Well, Jenna and I took it out and dug out the driveway and front walkway in under 3 hours. Which is a vast improvement from the 6+ hours last year that Keith, Jenna and I worked to get the cars out. Alyson went out to play in the snow and lasted maybe 1/2 hour. She came in and told me she was done with it. She said that "you can't get anything done outside because it so cold".  That made me laugh. Dre didn't want anything to do with the weather. She has been closed up in her room as teenage-dom requires. LOL They called off work on Saturday bu...

Catching up yet again

I haven't been on here in so long. I have had a busy few months. I was working for a while but then our sitter quit. So I'm now staying at home with Aly and Andi. Aly is growing really fast and is talking up a storm. Some words are really distinguishable and some just sound like a new language. We are trying to potty train her and she is resisting. Maybe she's not ready. Andrea is in the middle of her own battle, her weight. For those of you who know us, she has always been little. Well, after speaking with the doctor about this issue, we were trying pedia sure. (That stuff is expensive.) Almost a year later she has only really gained like a pound. So now the doctor wants to have her blood checked for a thyroid problem. She may have hyperthyroidism, or that is what he is thinking. well, any thoughts are appreciated.
