Life These Days

Wow, again I can't believe how much time has passed since I last posted!  Life has been crazy around here and I have just lost track of time.

Shortly after my last post, we found out we are expecting our 3rd child at the end of November.  I have been extremely sick with this pregnancy and I am just beginning to feel "back to normal". 

The girls have had good days and bad days together.  Some days they are the best of friends and other days they are each other's biggest enemies.  It's those days that I pray for wisdom and grace...and I feel completely overwhelmed that in just a few short months, I will have 3! 

Mikayla is anxious to do "school" just like her aunts and uncles.  We have pulled out an activity book a few times to do "school".  She loves to sit and work, so I am looking forward to starting school with her.  She still has 2 more years before she will begin Kindergarten, but my mom is going to do Pre School with her a couple days a week this fall!  We talked about sending her to Pre School for 2 days a week so I can have time to adjust to having a baby again.  My mom volunteered to take her 2 mornings a week and do some school with her.  We are so thankful and she is really excited!

Calli has started walking and running everywhere!  She is into everything!  Her favorite place to "hang out" is Mommy and Daddy's bathroom.  Most of the time I don't even realize she has been in there until Matt gets home and finds toys, cups and all kinds of "goodies" that she has left behind.  We both get a good laugh because she usually opens the drawers in our vanity and leaves toys and cups hanging out.  It's pretty comical.  She has also begun to "hold her own" with her sister.  She has gotten a lot tougher in the last month or so.

Finally, Matt has been doing a lot of traveling in the last month and I have been "holding down the fort" at home.  We are looking forward to some family vacation time in June.
