Okay, every time I write on our family blog, I'm in shock and awe over how much time has passed. I cannot believe our sweet tiny Julia is almost five months old and Sariah is finally 18 months old (and in nursery now, holla!).
Matthew- is still working on apps for the iPhone and iPad and enjoys his job. He grabs the boys and heads off to the hardware store now and then trying to improve little things around the house and keep our yard alive. He is working hard and I promise that after one more bundle of heaven, I will stop adding to our medical expenses and we can actually get some bigger things around the house done!
Moi - I just finished my CNA course and I am dying to start working in a hospital, prefereably the Labor & Delivery department or Maternity floor. I have been a patient enough to know I will make an awesome CNA then nurse one day! I have published a breastfeeding eBook. wahoo!
Patrick - Is growing, is such a great big brother. He wants to sell his artwork already and is becoming more financially ambitious! I told him he can't sell his 15 minute pieces of art on a lined sheet of paper using crayon in 5 different directions for $100 and he had a breakdown. I showed him a YouTube clip of an artist showing a how-to drawing an eye. It looked amazing, and he understood it takes skill and more time to make a drawing great. He'll get there one day!
Stephen- Is dying to be older like Patrick.... he potty-trained earlier, could speak sooner and wanted to go to school sooner... he wants to do all the things Patrick can. I have given up on trying to get him to reach the point of logic that Patrick wasn't allowed to carry William as a newborn... so we'll just let him think we love Patrick more than him until it clicks one day. ;) He is a great big-brother too, cuddles and plays with Sariah a ton and helps out around the house a lot.
William- is having a hard time not staying young. He still tries to curl up in our lap like a baby and it drives us nuts that he cannot sit still for ten seconds. I am looking forward to getting him into pre-school so he will have playmates on his level.
Sariah- is still so stinking cute. She always has big smiles to offer and loves getting messy, maybe even more than her brothers did! That girl can bathe herself in mess with one chocolate chip, I swear. She is starting to say more words, still sucks on those two fingers and actually likes to sit on the potty now and then.
Julia- is still small for her age, but we LOVE it. It is rare to enjoy this tiny cuteness for so long, so we are just soaking it in. She is happy, healthy, trying so hard to roll back-to-front and drooling a ton. So I think we will see some rolling and teeth in our near future!
I love these boogers! <3 p="">3>
