Our family!

Life is great! We have recovered from a bumpy summer and have settled into the Fall quite nicely! Shawn is doing so great in Kindergarten. Can I brag for a second? His teacher says he is in the top of the reading group! I am so proud of him. Nathan is doing so much better at preschool this year. I believe he will be totally ready for Kindergarten next year. This week we visited Shawn's school with the grandparents and Nathan is so excited to go to school next year! Our little Becca is not so little anymore. At 18 months old she has decided that I can no longer hold her like a baby. She says "no" and "stop" VERY clearly! And she still loves shoes. If any of her shoes are out she will try them on over and over again all day! She can go pee in the potty and we are on our way to never having diapers again! WOOHOO! Don is loving his job as manager of the country club (as much as one can love it!). I am still working part time as a labor and delivery nurse at the hospital. It is challenging work and I always feel like I have things I need to keep learning. I am so blessed with such a patient and wonderful husband and some great children!

WARNING!!!

BTW. Just so it is common knowledge. Never take a prescription strength anti-inflammatory (or Ibuprofen) at the same time as Aleve. This is something I know from personal experience this weekend. Apparantly, Naproxen Sodium (a.k.a. Aleve) is also an anti-inflammatory. When the two are combined you could experience symptoms like: dizziness, dilated pupils, an inability to comprehend what people around you are talking about, and an extreme case of the giggles. Don't believe that I can be that idiotic? Just ask my friends!

April showers!

April is somehow a busy month. January through March ... we were still reeling from the Christmas holidays and kept marching through with party after party. Of our little family of 5, 4 of us have now celebrated our birthdays for the year. Nathan will have his own wonderful birthday celebration in June. We are starting swim lessons this month for the boys and now I can finally do some of the projects around the house I have not been able to get to. My project this week = painting the boys bedroom. Don will now start working on the yard so he will have his work cut out for him. I think I have been demoted to only working on the yard under his close supervision when, yesterday I pulled up his thriving parsley plant because I thought it was a week. Oh well. He still loves me anyway! Much love to you all ... whoever you are that reads this! (EMILY)

Mom's birthday party was so much fun!

Christmas wrap-up

Christmas time was such a busy time for me and my family. We had so much to do and it seemed like we couldn't get all of it done. We were not able to get Christmas cards out but I made a little scrapbook for our blog. Just click on the first picture and you can view our Christmas memories!
