well it’s been a while again since i’ve posted. life is going ok over here! jerry and i actually got some time to ourselves last night. we went to eat mexican (“on the border”) and to see a movie (vantage point – great movie) while mom watched the boys. it was a great time. it was so nice to be just us. of course we didn’t have the “don’t talk about the kids” rule, because it’s hard not to! we even bragged about them to our waitress. *lol* unfortunately, jerry wasn’t feeling well. his heart wasn’t feeling right, mainly because of not getting enough sleep. so he’s worried today that he might have to go see his dr.
please pray for him.
jamin had almost two bottles while we were gone. he nursed a little when we returned, but not too much before falling to sleep. when i woke up this morning, it was after 5, and he was just stirring. oh my GOODNESS i was so engorged. i’m still not all the way empty and he’s eaten three times already. OUCHIE.
i am fairly sure jamin will be crawling in the next two weeks. he is rolling and scooting himself all over and i don’t think he’ll be content with slow moving for much longer. he already wants to do what the big boys do. *lol* he gets really upset when we pry their toys away from him. *heehee*
jeremiah and josiah love writing, drawing and coloring now. i moved their little table into the family room, right next to my computer desk, and they will spend hours just writing and drawing. it’s so cute!! good thing i bought that paper on sale last year…josiah is left-handed, and jerry has overheard jeremiah try to correct this. “not that hand, this hand!” he says in that big brother knows it all voice. today i mentioned that grampa and aunt natalie use their left hands to write also, and isn’t it neat that we aren’t all the same? i think he was confused with the RIGHT thing…the right hand should be the correct hand, ya know? *lol* my brother josh would also be left-handed, except he had a teacher with a medieval view of left-handedness and broke him of it.
he is now practically ambidextrous though. that’s kind of cool. but i wonder if he’d be different now if that hadn’t happened.
we were gifted by a friend in my momma’s group with clothes for the boys. i mean top-brand stuff. most of it in great condition, some of it even brand new! what a blessing. the boys love the clothes too.
we got our tax money back and have paid all our overdue medical bills. we are set up to be a month ahead on our regular bills. i have a new camera (it’s not an SLR, it’s my in between camera), a new external hard drive (am i the only one who calls it an ex-drive?), two new memory cards, a new vacuum…hmmm what else? we still need to get jerry’s car at least looked at, a new garbage disposal, a new headlight for the van…it is really nice to be actually “ok” money-wise. i mean we’re not rolling in the dough or anything, but we’re ok!
well that’s about it for now i think. i plan to update on jamin’s 7-month birthday, but he doesn’t have his check-up until the 12th, so i might wait until then, we’ll see.
God bless!
