No Regrets

It has been awhile!

I just realized that it has been quite awhile since I have blogged. I really need to be a better day to day blogger! The last several months have gone by pretty fast. I am 35.3 weeks along with baby number 4. It has been the hottest summer since 1930 or something. Some days I feel like a prisioner of my own home because if I leave I am misreable!

Jace started 1st grade and is doing great! He is reading already and I wold like to think that I have a part in that since we worked so hard with reading and math skills over the summer. Max is having an adjustment with Jace back in school. Everyday he asks 10 times when can we pick Jace up and why can't he eat lunch with us. It is amazing that they fight like crazy and then when they are away they miss each other.

Max starts preschool this Thursday and is super excited. He is ready to do what is big brother gets to do. Max is super independent and I love seeing his personality when we are one on one and he doesn't try to be Jace. Last week I took him with me to church and then we had lunch together. When we left he said "that was a fun lunch, just me and you mom". Sometimes it is hard to get done but spending one on one time doing something special is amazing.

Owen is talking soooooo much! He is in love with Mickey Mouse and would watch it all day if I let him. He is becoming VERY opinionated! He is tired of his oldder brothers beating up on him and telling him what to do all the time, so he is not taking it anymore. I love when he kicks the boys out of his room when they want to play in there because that is what they do all the time to him!

Mark is back in school full swing. It was so nice that he took the summer off and we got to spend so much time with him. Now we are ready and rested for an intense 2 years. Today is our 9 year anniversay and it seems like just yesterday that we were skipping high school together.....oops maybe I shouldn't tell that. I love him so much!

I am feeling the exhaustion of having 3 kids and being pregnant. I can't wait to meet our little surprise. Will it be a girl or a boy? Either one would be a blessing from God. When we were having our sono Jace really wanted to find out what we were having and then Max said to him "we just have to wait and see what Jesus brings us". I love that kid.

Well, that is all for now. Just a short recap of the last few months.
