Life has been busy, but not without some fun

It has been a long time since anyone has been on here to talk about life, but with Micha in school and the boys, well just being the boys it is hard to get on here and have time to do this.

Speaking about Micha in school, this year has been great for her. She really enjoys school and it wears her down Sept 2008 035 to the point where she will just come home and crash in the evenings a lot of the time. My little girl that used to stay up until 1 AM is now coming home and falling asleep on the couch at 8 o'clock. So it has been nice to see her finally get some sleep and have something that fills her day with fun and challenges (although I think that she is not all that challenged at school) Tomorrow night we will go for parent teacher conferences so I guess that we will get to hear more then.

The boys are a totally different handful every day of their lives. I am thinking that life would have been much easier if one of them had been a girl. First of all they are both very much boys. Everything about them is different then when we were bringing Micha up through tOctober 2008 009hat age. Logan is all about the toilet humor and as much as I reprimand him for his amazement of it he still seems to stick it into about everything. He is a lot of fun to have conversations with but is also just hitting that 'questions about how everything works phase' which can also get a little old when you are explaining where Diet Coke comes from. I think that I just need to set him up with a Discovery Cannel marathon.

 

Caden on the other hand is an entirely different person although he learns from his brother and sister as well as follow them around (usually fighting with Logan) he also marches to the beat of his own drum a lot of the time. One of the 'games' that he and Logan play is the ' Yes I am, No you are not' screaming game. SometimesOctober 2008 016 it is humorous when one of them pipes up into the game however they were not even having a conversation prior to that. He is really having fun being the baby though I see how the youngest child can stay the 'baby' for so long and Chris and I still agree that we miss our baby sometimes but it is also a lot of fun to watch them all grow up. They will all always be our babies but I know that we baby Caden the most.

Then there is Christine and myself, we are doing quite well. Finally just about all settled into the house here, at least we have everything that we need to provide for our family. It is difficult to get time alone with each other with both of us working all the time and the rest of the time we are tending to children's needs but sometimes when we look back on  even the last year it is all a blur so we are both trying to slow down sometimes just to enjoy life and each other. Not to say that it is always working but that fact that we are trying is great.

I have been trying to put some new pictures on Flickr this week so you all can see the kids a little more often. Back to the life is a blur, a lot of the time I forget to take out the camera and document some of the fun that we are having as well as take photos just so that you can see our beautiful children, so cruise on over to Flickr and enjoy
