I haven't updated the blog in a while so thought write an update before my kiddos wake up and want all my attention!
Gracie turned 2. It was a great week full of daily birthday parties and neverending gifts. She was spoiled greatly, particularly by her Mamas and Aunt Carolyn. After a full week of "Grace", she had a hard time understanding it wasn't her birthday anymore. She still sings "Happy Birthday to Me" every time she sees a cake/cookies or sees something that looks like a present. She is now very content to play make-believe in her room by herself for long periods of time. It is so wonderful! She seems to get cuter and cuter everyday, if that is even possible. The things she says and ideas she comes up with are hilarious and a product of her ever imaginative daddy.
Noah is almost 5 months old!!!! Say what?! I know, I don't understand how it's possible but it is the truth. He is so much fun. We are loving his cute little rolls and adorable raspy laugh! The one person that makes him laugh more than ever is his sister. I know as parents we all like talking about how our children just adore each other, but really Noah is completely in love with his sister. He tries to jump out of my arms to get to her. He cracks up at her silly dancing and crazy peek-a-boo games. Even as rough as she is, he manages to come away from sis bruise free and happy. We all know he's a mommy's boy, but I'm thinking he is even more so a Gracie's boy. He can almost sit up by himself. I have to be so careful because if I set him sitting on the couch he tries to project himself off the couch and onto the floor. It's very scary. He loves to jump, laugh, spit raspberries and play with toys, particularly those that Grace just had.
Levi is rocking at school. He was given his third Student of the Course award and it looks as though he'll be getting another one next week. I am so extremely proud of him. Funny, some of the boys in Levi's class tried to bribe him to miss a day so they could have a shot at SOC. It's so fun to see him do so well because Levi was never one to try that hard in school. He is brilliant but he just never cared that much in high school and college. Now he's got 2 kids that he adores so the stakes are a little different.
As for me, I got a job! It was an extremely huge answer to prayer. The greatest part: I will be working from home, so I won't have to leave my kids! I'm going to be working back at Guthrie Mainstream, which is such an amazing company, by the way. I will be writing habilitation goals and methodologies for individuals with special needs. It's such a perfect situation and I'm thrilled that I got this opportunity! God is really taking care of us right now and I am so thankful for all his blessings.
Also, my cousin Danielle had her baby last week! He is adorable and I'm so happy for her and her husband. Being a mom is the greatest and I know she will do a great job! She asked me to be Reece's Godmother and I am so honored. Thank you, Dani!
We went to the cabin last weekend and it was perfectly wonderful! I'll try and upload pics for that next. I've been putting it off because I get so angry trying to upload them, get them in the right order, lined up, captioned.... The Google upload system and I are not friends.
