Life Update


Wow, it's been forever since I've posted a blog. Everyone who can keep up with this stuff...kudos to you! Anyway, we've just been really busy, but a good kind of busy. I will try to keep the update short, by giving a little snip of everyone's life in a nutshell!

Cade: Cade is doing well. He likes the NCAA, and work is keeping him busy. Cade is such a great dad and very helpful with both the kids. I appreciate all he does and it always makes me feel better when I have to be gone to know he can have the house and kids under control. I love him a lot...more each day!

Brooklyn: She turned 2 on Oct. 9, and lately she's going thru quite a stage. She's totally fine if we drop her off somewhere or leave her with a sitter, but when we're home she is attached to my hip! I think it's some delayed jealousy with Camden and she just wants to make sure she's not losing her Mommy. She's been absorbing so much though and saying so many funny things. Lately, she's been saying "Oh my gosh!" It's hilarious! She knows her ABC's and sings them a lot, and she can count to about 13. She also enjoys singing songs. Overall, she has such a great heart and is such a lovey kid. One of her favorite things to do each week is see Annabelle. I watch Annabelle on Fridays and we usually go to the zoo or Children's Museum. It's definitely a weekly highlight!

Camden: He will be 6 months this week. Let's just say he's kept me up a bit lately. He's totally cutting his 1st tooth. Last week was the fun diarreah part and this week is just a painful cry. He's getting through it though and is still a happy baby! I love his personality and the joy he has brought to our family. I have been giving he and Brooklyn baths together lately and I just love to watch him watch her. He adores her and thinks she is so funny! Camden is finally starting to eat solid foods. We're still in progress though. Today he did have some oatmeal and sweet potatoes!

Me: I'm doing pretty well. I've been trying to put any stress into running. I have enjoyed being able to take the kids out. On Thursdays I do Community Bible Study where we are studying Luke. On Fridays we have MOPS, which is just a great time of fellowship with women. At both, the kids get to go to class and they're having a lot of fun. Tonight I'm trying a new thing...Dinner by Design. I'm hoping this will work out for our budget and help us to have more complete meals. It will make it easier for me in the evenings before Cade gets home.

Well, hopefully this has caught you up. We had a good Oct. Brooklyn liked going to the Pumpkin Patch with Grandma Debi and Grandpa Jon. She enjoyed her Halloween being a ladybug and visiting with GoGo. Camden was Superman! And of course, she always loves being with GiGi and PaPa, and Papa helped her carve her pumpkin this year! She gets to see PaPa (my dad) tomorrow, so she's looking forward to that and her M&M's! Well, I will try to stay up on the blogging! Take care, all!
