June Update

Sean is still looking for work and he is currently in a summer class for law school. After this class he has two more years left. We have really enjoyed the blessing of having him at home during the day. After last semester with not seeing him hardly at all during the week, it has been a much needed break. He would leave for work before the kids woke up and come home after class after the kids were already in bed. So the kids didn't really see him during the week at all.

The kids are doing better. Poor Forrest has a little cold. His voice is going in and out. He kinda sounds like a cute little chipmonk. He likes the sound of his voice so he talks all the time. Forrest is all about being a little boy. He love his Star Wars guys and light sabers,etc. Add in the cars, trains, play guns, and battling the unsees bad guys and you can see he is all boy. I have to help him remember that Angelina isn't his wrestling partner. He loves to play with both of his sisters.

Angelina learned to walk on her 1st birthday. She follows her brother and sister around all day. She loves eating real food, not baby food. She doesn't have teeth yet , but she can mash up food pretty well with her gums. She grunts and crys for more if we pause to take a bite for ourselves. She eats straight from our plates. She loves food. It's amazing to watch her walking around. She acts like she has been doing it for years. She is a fast learner. She likes to play a shy role around everyone else but she is a really outgoing little gal.

Emilee just finished up with Kindergarten. She is now practicing double digit addition and more subtraction at her own request. She is our little artist. Her imagination amazes me. She loves to dance, sing, draw, laugh, you name it. She is very excited about life. Always full of energy and in high spirits. She brightens up my day.

I am doing better after battling whatever cold hit us the last few weeks. I am excited to feeling like normal after the crazyness of hormones level changing back and forth from having Angelina. Looking forward to starting out a more rigorous exercise routine.
