One of these days

I will take over the world!! (j/k)

someday I will figure out how to upload pictures onto the computer from my new camera and get them up on this site. For now, bear with me. The kids are doing fine, we are doing fine, just very busy.

March is birthday month for us and has kept us busy. We have parties for James this weekend for the Big 3! and we had parties this past weekend for Dan celebrating the Big 3-0! Man he is old and sadly, I am not far behind him.

But anyhow, we'll be going to the pediatrician for James' annual and Nathans 9-monther on Friday and I promise to post updates afterwords! For the moment though James' blood-work came in and he looks great! Everything is right on track and he is above average for Vitamin D levels meaning he does not need to take a vitamin yet! He doesn't like gummy or chewable stuff like this yet so this was a very good thing! he is healthy, strong...a typical toddler who wants ALL the attention but does love his brother very very much.

Nathan is perfecting his walking and takes as many as 10-15 steps at a time, falls down, and immediately gets back up and walks another 10-15 steps. He is eating like a champ choosing veggies and meat over cereal and fruit/yogurt type stuff. Does NOT like mushy stuff anymore...definitely a boy of texture and with 1 full tooth in and 1 sorta in (only on the bottom) it is simply amazing to us what he gum's downs and then begs for more of! He is amazing

Otherwise working on finances, fixing up the house, and staying in good touch with family and friends fills our time.

Now, for those that don't know, we have given the pup away (almost 2 weeks now) due to stress levels of giving her proper care AND taking care of the kids and family. It was a very, very hard decision and i have a whole blog started on these emotions but have not been able to bring myself to post yet. Maybe in a few days.

She has been with family for the last week and a half but will be moving on to a new family by the weekend. We wish her the best. Truly a sweet little pup...just too much for our family right now.
