What's Happening?

Sorry it's been a while since our last posting. Things are "maybe" settling down a little.

First of all, Abrahm is finally back at work full time. He goes to class most days from 8:00 until 3:00. Some days it's earlier and some days it's later. He does have a lot of homework though when he does get home. In two weeks of classes, he's already written 3 papers. He is also working on his MBA. It's a great program and opportunity he just couldn't pass up. He goes two nights a week from 5:30 until 9:30. He's staying busy, but he is getting to spend some quality time with the boys. It's been nice.

Adam is loving preschool. He especially loved Clifford day last week. Tomorrow he gets his turn with the "sharing bag" (show and tell), so he's excited about that as well. He had a little cold this weekend, but seems to be just fine now.

Alden is getting over a yucky tummy/fever bug that Abrahm had last week (did I mention Abrahm was in bed, okay well maybe the bathroom, for 3 days last week?). Fortunately he didn't have it as bad as Abrahm and just had a fever and a couple yucky diapers. He's feeling much better this morning.

Finally, the baby and I are doing fine. Well the baby is doing well. He/She already is giving me fits. I've had a lot more nausea and tiredness than I had with either of the boys. I am pretty much sick 24 hours a day. I am even waking up in the middle of the night nauseated. Oh the joys of early pregnancy..... I go for my first doctor's appointment tomorrow, so hopefully he'll give me a better due date and answer some of my questions.

We are hoping to go to St. Louis this weekend for Labor Day. It's nice having lots of choices of things to do so close by. I hope you all have a great week and I'll try to post more pictures this week!

Adam in his "Clifford" ears from school. They had a hunt for Clifford all around the school on Thursday. They never found Clifford, but he did leave delicious dog bone treats. School is fun!!! 

Have You Heard?

What's happening around here???

This must be what all the excitement is about!

Our Big Boy's First Day of Pre-school

Today was Adam's first day of preschool. We actually just enrolled him in this school yesterday and went out and bought all of his supplies last night. He was so excited to shop for a backpack. He was a little confused about how he could go to school though. Everytime he sees a school bus, he asks when he can ride one. I keep telling him he's going to ride one when he's 5 and goes to school. So when I told him he was going to school he kept saying, "But Mommy, I am only 3. I can't go to school until I am 5."

Well we finally convinced him it was okay and he loved it. Abrahm and I dropped him off this morning and he kissed us goodbye and went about his own merry way. Alden was a little disheartened because he couldn't stay though. When I picked him up, he said he had a great time and couldn't wait to go back.

When did my little boy get so big?????

Corn Time!

We bought about 160 ears of corn this weekend so we could freeze some to eat this winter. The pictures below are of the boys helping PopPop.

Adam's First Bicycle

PopPop and Grammy bought Adam his first bicycle while they were here. Adam is still a little timid riding it, but he is doing a great job. He can peddle by himself (althought he wants someone touching his back) and can even use his brakes.


Adam's first time on his new bicycle

Hey, I want to go for a bike ride too!!!!

What else can you do when it's over 100 degrees?

The past 2 weeks we've had unbearable heat!!! It's been over 100 most days. Yesterday it was 107!! So we've been spending lots of time in the water these days. We're in just about any fountain, pool, or puddle we can find.


The temp here for the past 2 weeks!!!!!
