Dec 2012

Hard to believe it is already chirstmas 2012.. kids are getting so big.
Andrew and Caleb both asked Santa for a scooter this year.
The kids loved decorating the Christmas tree and loved watching mommy put up the village.
this month Naomi gave me her first girly attitude sigh. (12/10/12) i was helping her dance and she didn't want to, so i told her stop being grumpy. She looked at me and sighed almost to say MOM.. man the attitude already started.. lol..
Andrew is learning to read at school he is so smart i can hardly stand it. He has also started football (soccer) at school.
Caleb and mommy have just started doing gymnastics class once a week. he loves it he is so smart and loves learning new things.
CHRISTMAS 
Christmas was a blast this year. Santa got the boys scooters and Naomi a exersaucer. boys love ther scooters and andrew has been ridding it in the house because we are in England and it is raining outside. :-( Naomi is not old enough for her exersaucer but she will be soon. :-) pics to come soon.

Today (12/26/12) naomi got her first set of shots. :-( she actually did ok. daddy took her in and did shots and mommy was there to comfort her when she was done. she did not cry for long. Andrew and Caleb where very worried and had to give Naomi cuddles to help her stop crying.

caleb 3 years old

Caleb
you are now 3 years old and i am sad i have no written to you before now. You are such a bright little guy. although you are allot more shy then Andrew was i love the differences in your personalities. You have been such a blessing this last 3 years and i can not wait to see what kind of kid you are going to grow up to be. although we did not have terrible twos with you i think your threes are going to be a bit harder.. you are already showing some temper issues and stuff but we will deal with it. I love you so much.
So much has happened this last year.. We live in england now and you have a little sister. i have to admit i was a  bit worried about how you would do once Naomi cam into this family. But you have done great. You are such a great big brother and little brother.
Right now you love tools. You love the toy tools you have gotten and we got you a bunch more for your birthday. You love talking to you sister and holding her. You love playing outside and no matter how cold you will beg to get to go out and play. we have started writing your letters this week and are learning a letter a week. This week letter A you have loved this process so far. already drawing the letter so well.

medical STUFF

Today we had a pretty scary thing happen.. after chris got back from taking Andrew to school i was sitting on the couch and got up to go to the bath room. i made it to the bath room door then the next thing i recall is waking up and not being able to see anything and feeling my head shake and bitting my tongue repeatedly but not being able to stop my self. once i came to completely i called chris into the bathroom we decided to go to the ER and get my checked out.
the originally though it was a seizure but the did a bunch of tests (head ct, blood work, urine test, sugar levels, EKG, and monitored my heart for a few hours) all the tests came back ok except the monitoring my heart she said i was having some irregular hear beats, and they will probably have my PCM do a 24 hour heart monitor on me. i am not allowed to drive tell i see my doc and they clear me to drive..
I am so thankful to God that Chris was home, and i am ok. Just praying we figure out what this is.

being a mom

i know this is a little late but been thinking and talking to the hubby about when and if we will try for another baby... i am not ready just yet but sometime i wonder if we should just be happy with the two we have... or should we try for more.. part of me really wants to have a third.. and who knows a fourth... i do not enjoy being prego but i LOVE being a mom..
the feeling of being a mom is the best in the world. it is hard and scary to be in charge of the lives of these little ones.. but i love it and would not change it for anything...
to wake up in the morning to the smiles of my little boys makes the day good.. everyday is not like this but the good out weighs the bad.. it is hard to remember that when you have a few bad days in a row..
Just hard to think how my life would be if i were not a mom... part of me dont even want to think about it... cause i dont want to...

dear andrew
