4 months?

I can't believe....ok, maybe I can....that it's been 4 months since my last post! Sheesh. A few things to note....

1. We've been going to Church. I love it. It's so hard when you get out of the 'habit' of going to church, but we've been going for about a month now. We missed last week because the girls and I were getting over colds (still snotty, etc.) and Adam and I had a funeral to go to. I don't know if we're ready to call it 'Home' yet, but we'll see.

2. Life with 2 is busy! Life with a crawling baby is even busier!

3. We're great. Adam is just getting dumped with loads of work. He has all of his normal work and was just presented with a big project. He has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders right now!

4. Renee is such an awesome big sister and helper. She (usually) has a good attitude and really really really loves her sister. We really try to give her attention....individual attention....and make her feel important. We've been doing 'school' maybe once or twice a week, I try not to push it too much as her attention/patience is short. We're talking about preschool. She probably watches way too much tv. She loves reading (being read to). She's very into coloring and writing 'letters' right now. She draws (a friend of mine coined the phrase) potato people. Her hair is so long and curly, and she's getting so tall.

5. June is still growing, though I think since she started crawling she's kinda' leveled off. She's only about 19lbs right now, at 9 months. She's a fast crawler, she is constantly pulling herself up and cruising. She loves to hold your hands and 'walk'. She waves all the time, she claps, and she sings. She is such a happy baby. She's also a snuggler. Renee was not a snuggler, so it's a pretty sweet treat when June is hugging us. She absolutely refused to eat veggies. When we first started rice cereal (mixed with breast milk) at 6 months she liked it....twice. After that it was such a fight to get her to eat. Anything. We tried sweet potatoes, yams, carrots, peas, bananas. All of a sudden, it was like a switch was flipped! She can't get enough food! Now she eats, and loves, all of the food above! Oh, she loves baby mum mum's too. She still won't eat the rice cereal though, so the breast milk will just be for bottles.

6. The newest member of the family was born on March 2nd! Corbin Sager came in at 8lbs 14oz and 21 inches! Big boy! I've only seen him a few times, with being busy and sick it makes it hard. :-(

7. My hard drive is still dead. Really really dead. My friend's dad had it last, and recently told me he cannot fix it. I'm still going to hang onto it. Someday we'll retrieve the photos on it.

8. My sciatic just started acting up today. Oh my gosh this sucks!

9. I am so done with the animals. I'm done with the cats. They're fat and lazy. They sleep, make messes, they suck up money. Kimber is mostly outside now, she does come in at night and during the day when it's cold, but she loves being outside. She 'goes' in the yard, which is tricky, I have to search for her piles....so annoying. Recon is still sweet and fat. He makes a mess of the litter though, I think he's OCD, he digs in the box for 10 minutes and makes a mess of litter outside the box. He loves to eat and give love, but that's all he's good for. I'm done. Echo is a good girl. She's a very lazy dog. I've done a really good job keeping her 'droppings' picked up, but I still don't like the idea of her tracking dirt in and out, and the slobber! Oh the slobber! Maybe I'll feel better about the fur babies when June is up off of her hands and knees! Oh, and I've recently been told my house smells like 'animals'. Argh! Hate that.

10. We're talking about taking a trip to Minnesota this year. It's Adam's maternal grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary! Looking forward to it!
