Sigh.

Good grief. What a month! This February will definitely go down in the record books. We survived it though. Barely.

Princess S--decided to quit being a newborn yesterday. She is a full fledged infant. She laughs, babbles, cries, has an attitude, and loves to be in the middle of things! She is so much fun, and her brothers love her, especiallly when they can make her laugh. She is 13 1/2 lbs and has recovered from her RSV nicely. Just a residual cough. What a champ! I just started putting her in 6 month clothes yesterday. It sure is fun to pull out new stuff! She did fail her second hearing test, so we will be checking that out in a couple weeks with a sleeping brain test thing. It is amazing what they can do with these babies to make sure they are okay.

JT--is such a funny kid! He is so tough with his big brother, and then can spin around and be so soft and sweet with his baby sister. He LOVES to make them both laugh, the only problem is that his methods ususally get him in trouble. He has gotten good at saying the prayers and seems to pray for me a lot. If the word "mom" comes up in a prayer at all, he just reapeats it over and over again until he thinks I am good and covered. He will walk up to anyone and say "Hi" so cheerfully that they just can't help but smile and say hi back.

DB--has grown so much lately! I was having trouble wrestling with him the other day and I made him go weigh himself. He went and gained 10 lbs since the last time we checked! Sheesh! He HATES math, but is fantastic at spelling and reading. He comes home from school and strips his clothes off into shorts and a t-shirt, no matter what the weather. He has been a great help around the house since Ben hasn't really been around much for the last 5 or 6 weeks. Man, I love that kid.

TN has some of the most schizophrenic weather I have ever seen! It was a fantastic weekend, but this week it has been FREEZING! No wonder we have been sick so much! Our poor bodies can't figure out what the heck is going on! We have survived one full year here now (First of Feb was our anniversary) and don't regret the move one single bit!

You may not regret it but we sure as heck miss you! It's good the kiddos are all doing well, especially Princess Sarah! Wow, that has a ring to it!

I am glad you guys are surviving down there! The kiddos are getting too big too fast! So cute.

I can't believe Princess Sarah is already in 6 mos clothes. I haven't even met her (sniff, sniff) and she's growing up! You have amazing kids and I love hearing all about them. I miss you guys! Are you going to Ricky and Kayli's wedding? Hope so b/c I need to see that baby girl!

Glad to hear everyone's doing better. Hope March is a GREAT month for all of you! Check out www.mathusee.com That's the math program I use for Amy now, and since we've started that program, she LOVES math and is just soaring right along with it. It might be a nice way to supplement with what he's doing in school. Hope that everyone stays healthy and happy!
