Yes that is the time I am awake to wrote all the people who don't look at our blog. I have been sick all week and keep hoping it is over when a new symptom shows up. I don't handle being pregnant and sickand winter at the same time. Calgon take me to GA!
I actually woke up at 3:45, layed there, coughed, blew my nose, released my bladder (common for morning and pregnant routine), coughed, blew my nose and decided to get up and catch up on my reading in the quiet of the house. So I've come to the computer and caught up on Tammi's blog. Here's how I read it...over a lot of time so I can get a clear picture of what is going on in her world, read it until I laugh which doesn't usually take long, and usually at obscure hours in the day like 2 am. I have come to realize that I don't laugh enough and can alway count on Tammi. That is a nice trait to have in a sister. (by the way tam, I can relate to V-day as Rob never gets that day off or even comes home early from tax season :)
What else is new is our world? Kendrick took his first steps this week. I was telling Rob how he was very close walking between Robby and I the other day so Rob decided to give it a try. He and I bent down, K. laughing, smiling but no walking. Robby and and I decide to give it a try and sure enough both feet leave the floor. Lots of cheering, smiles and snuggles. Have I mentioned that Kendrick has been saying babby, for about two weeks now. He idolizes his big brother just a little. Anyway, Rob didn't say anything but I think he was a little sad that K. wouldn't walk to him. Tax season is such a bummer! Time Time Time where did it all go!
I know absence make the heart grow fonder so on that note, Rob will be leaving for the rest of March. He is in OH the second week of March, Mississippi the third week, and Minnisota the last week. On a good note...he will not be gone for mine or Robby's birthday.
They boys had conferences this week and Robby is failing second grade and Johnny adores his teacher, Norah (his girlfriend he says sheepishly) and his teacher's daughter Emily. I wished each boy could keep their teachers next year too. Kathy Deboer has done a fantastic job with Robby. She has challenged him in writing, increased his hunger for reading by introducing Peter Pan and the Wizard of Oz, A Call of the Wild, etc. and allowed him to challenge himself in math. Can we xerox her for next year?
Johnny's teacher is very sensitive to his sensitivity. She gets on eye level with him so talk to him, something that is very important with his speech and comprehensibility, allows him to be upset and isn't afraid to sit him on her lap for comfort but then keeps on teaching, offers verbal encouragement and doesn't miss him, as he is a very missable and unassuming kid. He has an unsatiable desire to read and is working very hard on his letter sounds and recognition, she is coming right along side that and even challenging that by offering memorization of sight words. I would like to duplicate her too.
I'm think I'm done bragging about my kids and their teachers now.
We have big plans for the basement this year. I hope my dad can do it! :)
Shelly Beach came for lunch last week and I got to share all my favorite kids books with her. It was fun and she wasn't bored.
We had our ultrasound and the baby looks healthy. (Cheeky grin on my face!)
No bites on a new job for Rob. :(
Abby is sassy as every. We had a girl's night and she got her hair cut for the first time ever. It makes her hair more curly but easier to brush.
I did a photo shoot of a nine month old. That is the best!!!! So fun!!! So much personality!!!!!
My sister Alaina got a puppy. It is about the size of a TY stuffed animal. Cute as a button!
Also, got to see her play bball for her team. Man, that girl can shoot and she it only in sixth grade. 2 minutes left in the first half. She walks out on the court and sinks one just inside the 3 in the first 30 seconds. She's so cool!
Well, it is 5:30 am and I should get back to be...after some breakfast of course. Good night all who don't read my blog.
