Laci


Here are some fairly recent pictures of Laci. I cannot believe she is going to be 3 in December! I will be sure and post some pictures of Samantha soon. Tomorrow is the Ward Halloween Party, and I will be sure and take my camera.

First Blog and Update

I can't believe how much my children have grown in just this short period of time. Samantha is in kindergarten and doing quite well. She just learned the last letter of the alphabet Friday, and now they will start writing words. Thats a lot in only 7 weeks of school. It is amazing how quickly children learn things.

Laci surprises me everyday. Although the last few days, she has been driving me absolutely bonkers. She is so full of energy and every time I turn around she is into something she knows she is not suppose to be into.

They both make me laugh everyday, entertaining me with the crazy things they do and say. They both are loving the season. They enjoy throwing leaves everyday when we go to the bus stop. Laci insists on bringing them home with her. Thats something we haven't experienced much of, leaves. It has been fun.

I haven't really heard from Ben. He is basically doing everything possible to detatch himself from the situation. It is amazing to me how a person can give up so much out of fear.

I am doing pretty well. I have my days, life isn't perfect, but I am happy. I am almost half way through this pregnancy and I can sure feel it. I find out in a couple weeks what gender the baby is (hopefully). It is really flying by. Cass is going with me, that will be fun. Baby is healthy so far and everything is going well with that. The pregnancy sicknesses are pretty much gone. I am dreading flu season. Ugh. We have all been sick a few times with colds and infections and such, (ok maybe just Laci) but I think I finally got that under control. Everyone is on vitamins regularly, and Laci now takes allergy meds which is keeping her congestion under control before turning to a virus.

I am so blessed. My family is awesome. I can't wait to live by my sister and to have our kids together to play all the time. They are best friends, other than Kasen beating on Laci (who is 3 months older than him) :) He doesn't beat her up, but he picks on her. Takes things from her and such just to get a reaction out of her. He finds girl dramatics so amusing!

I have been blessed with a strong support system of family and friends. I hope everyone is enjoying the season. Happy fall!
