I was just online and realized that I hadn't posted yet this month. As my goal for this year is two posts a month, I figured I should get started!
The month started off with Mr. JJ turning 8! We were able to have a little birthday party with some of the little boys in the neighborhood and a few from school. We took them to NickelCity. Holy Hannah!! Joel and I were running around like crazy trying to keep track of 8 little kids. They were all given a bunch of nickels, we had cake, did gifts, had pizza, played in the arcade and had a go in the laser tag arena. I think that the deal we got was pretty sweet. JJ and all of his little buddies seemed to have a good time. I'll add the pictures next time I post.
JJ has continued playing soccer. He has been making at least 5 goals each of his last few games. I am so proud of him!! He also was able to start cub scouts which he seems to enjoy very much. The leaders called me today and said how much they enjoy him and how much fun he has been!
Ana is 5 and growing. She loves spending time with my sisters little one. She's like a little mom and can't wait for her new little sister to come! She has taken an interest in gardening lately and loves to hunt the chickens eggs. (One less thing I have to do!!)
Joel had his birthday this week. He wanted me to mention that he not only fixed the water pressure in the kitchen but replaced the faucet, the disposal, fixed the garden hose, cleaned the chicken coop and the rats cage. I'm so proud!! ; ) He opened another show this week at work. Due to this, his last couple of weeks have been very, very busy as he had quite a few welding projects to tackle. He made a moon that flys in and out and a huge time machine. They are both quite fantastic. He plans to till the garden space tomorrow so that we can get it planted this week. Ana and I are quite excited!
Regarding myself, we are currently down to about 54 days until this new little girl is due to join our family. I am getting a little anxious, a little bigger and quite excited. I put my two weeks notice in at the State Hospital. While I was sad to do it, it is definitely time. 7 years is a long time. I am excited to spend more time at home with the kids and be able to do more mom things. I have some work lined up to do from home and will continue teaching piano lessons.
We have another appointment with the doctor on Monday to check on how little baby girl is doing. I'm sure she's dandy as she continues to wiggle at a pretty constant schedule.
