All the craziness.....





Well, luckily I didn't promise to keep up with things! Time just seems to fly by, even though nothing gets done. Here goes another round of updates....

Sophie: Had her tonsils and adenoids out on Monday, along with an upper GI scope(EGD). The EGD looked really good, and now we just wait for the results of the biopsies, which should be here within a week. We ended up in the ER due to dehydration, got some anesthesia suckers, and now Sophie is drinking like a champion(water and juice that is!), and is a different child. She is an amazing little girl, and each time we were in the hospital, all she wanted to do was to come home to her "brudder".

Camden: He is just growing and changing daily! Each day he learns something new, a new word or gesture, or funny little expression. At his 18 month well child check, he was 34 inches tall, and almost 31 pounds! He is only 4lbs less than Sophie, what a chunk!

Glenn & I: Nothing new here. Glenn is just atarting his summer class after a wonderful 2 week break. When this class is over, he will only have 3 left, woo hoo! Other than that, there isn't much going on. Glenn and I decided not to find out the gender of this newest baby, so we will have a nice surprise at delivery. I am now 24 weeks along, and have made it this far without any complications. Sophie got to feel the baby move for the first time the other day, and now constantly puts her hand on my belly trying to feel him/her again. It's really sweet.

Let's Try Again....







Okay, so apparently I shouldnt be making any New Year's resolutions! Obviously, I haven't kept up with the bloggeing, but I'm here to try again!

Here are updates on us:

Sophie: She is doing awesome in her speech therapy, and loves going to our neighborhood elementary school for this. She has three more weeks until summer vacation. I don't know yet if she will be doing it again next year, but I think they will reevaluate her at the beginning of the school year. She is getting ot be such a big girl! She got her first stitches. 9 of them really! She tripped and fell on a metal bedframe while on vacation. Now, anytime she falls or get hurt, she checks for blood!

Camden: He walks, he talks, and he loves! He started walking at about 14 months, and started talking about then too. He has a much bigger vocabulary than Sophie did at this age too. He was evaluated by a speech therapist at 12 months because he still wasn't saying mama or dada or anything! They said to give it until 15 months, well he barely beat the cutoff! He is still really clumsy, and runs into things a lot. He will be going in for a vision screening sometime in the next few months, courtesy of Early Intervention. Camden is such a sweet little boy, and is liberal with is hugs, though his kisses are still slobbery messes.

Glenn and I: Glenn is still chugging along on his Masters degree, and it is going pretty well, though he's ready to be done. I am finally graduating! This Saturday at 10am, I will offiially be done with my degree! Now, after all that work, I plan on staying home with the kids. Oh yeah, we are also expecting a third child! I am officially due November 11th, but my midwife said she will be really excited if I make it past October 21st with my history of having early babies. We shall see! Okay, that's about all I have for now. I must get back to cleaning the house for the graduation party we will have this weekend!

New year, new posts!

Okay, I really fell off the wagon with giving updates. Things got pretty hectic, but my new year's resolution is to be a better blogger.

Christmas went well. Both kids slept in so Glenn and I were awake and just waiting for them to get up. This is the first year that Sophie really understood the concept of Santa Clause, though she was confused as to why he would come to our house when she was sleeping and couldn't see him. Both kids got WAY too many toys(but are still enjoying them!). We had a nice dinner at Aunt Janna's where we got to visit with Nana, Papa, Uncle Dave(and his new girlfriend?), Great Grandpa and Grandma, and Uncle Chuck and Aunt Sue. It was a wonderful day that we got to spend with family, and we couldn't have asked for more.

Camden's 1st birthday was December 27th. I cannot believe that my little baby is one! HE didn't care a thing for unwrapping his presents, but his sister and niece had fun! He absolutely LOVED his birthday cake though, and made a huge mess. We had fun hanging out with family again(the same people as on Christmas). Camden is a master crawler, but has no confidence to try anything close to walking. He occasionally says something that sounds like a word, but then doesn't repeat it, so I still don't consider him saying nay words. He is still a pretty good-natured boy.

Sophie is doing well too! She will be three on the 25th. She had fun at Camden's party, and couldn't believe that all the people will be coming back in a few weeks to celebrate her own birthday! She is excited and wants a purple cake and ice cream. She is still absolutely in love with her little brother, and hugs and kisses him all day. I have to pull her off of him sometimes because she can be a bit overwhelming! She will be starting speech therapy through the school district as soon as she turns three. We are all very hopeful that this will help tremendously!
