Mad Rush TUESDAY?

Goodness, I've been MIA again!  It's just crazy busy at our house.  The older two finished school for the year last week, baseball is in full swing, the house is ALMOST done, I'm having a yard sale on Saturday, and Chaille decided that she wants to potty train NOW!!!  It's a lot at once.  I've taken pictures, but basically all on my phone, because I'm lucky to remember the essentials, let alone the camera.  I'll upload some at some point, if life ever calms down.  We rush, rush, rush MOST of the time.  It's not fun, but it won't last forever. We've just got a lot on our plate right now.  SO... If you don't hear from us for a while, it's not because we are avoiding you.  :O)

Hugs & Kisses

HUGS

AND KISSES:

MAKE US HAPPY!

Wow, 2 weeks already??

Time certainly flies when you are busy and having a blast!  I'm gonna catch up really quickly here on what has been going on in the past 2 weeks, and then hope to keep up a little better in the future.

Last week Steve was out of town for 3 days for a training exercise for the Task Force.  We had baseball all 3 nights that he was gone, and it was rainy and chilly all three days.  Then, last Friday was our 11th anniversary.  Steve and I celebrated with a date night on Friday and then his cousin, Katie, was married on Saturday.  We were kid free for two nights, thanks to our wonderful parents!!!  We had such a fun weekend.

This week, we have had baseball, a PTO meeting, storms, and working on the house remodels in addition to our normal stuff.  I'm also trying to organize for a garage sale in a little over two weeks, which is a good chance to declutter before we market the house, but is also a lot of work!!  I didn't realize how much work it takes to just get stuff sorted and priced.  I usually am on the shopping end of it :O)

Well, I hope to be back sooner next time, but no promises :O)  Life is busy!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Chaille!!

I can't believe that my baby girl is 2 today!!! Boy, oh boy, how time flies.  I find it crazy to believe that for the first time EVER I'm celebrating one of my children's 2nd birthdays without the next baby on the way!!! I'm very thankful for that :)

Chaille is a healthy young lady these days.  She speaks in sentences and says whatever she want to say.  She LOVES to sing, her favorite songs being Jesus loves me, Twinkle Twinkle little star, and the Itsy Bitsy Spider.  Her favorite food is CHOCOLATE, and she says "Chocolate is GOOD!"  Chaille loves to say "momma" and wait for me to say "loves you."  She still carries around her babies everywhere and loves to feed them and give them diaper changes and naps.  Oh, and take them on stroller rides too!

Today at the doctor, Chaille weighed 30.5 lbs (88th percentile) and was 37" tall (99th percentile!)  She had grown 3 inches and gained 3 pounds in the past 6 months.  The doctor had NO concerns with her and said that she was right on track (and in some areas advanced) for her age.  Good Job, Chaille!!!

Chaille, you have been a true GIFT to your dad and me.  We love the way that you came along and completed this family so perfectly.  Everyone in this family adores you, and you seem to know it.  You are fun to be around, although sometimes demanding.  But you also say "thank you" better than anyone in this family, parents included.  We will forever be proud of you and you will always be the PRINCESS in this family.  I love you, baby girl.  Please always be my baby girl, no matter what your age! 

Wordless Wednesday, On FRIDAY!
