Little Miss Haley joined our family on January 23rd,2019. She was 8 pounds 4 oz (our smallest baby by an ounce) and nobody really knows how long she was. Her birth certificate says 22 inches but I'm not sure. Several different people measured her with several different lengths ha!  She was born via c-section. I went into it totally kosher, thinking that all would be fine, I've done this twice before, no big deal. Boy was I wrong!  My pregnancy with her was pretty uneventful. I had some morning sickness in the beginning and lost a few meals down the toilet. We also traveled to Florida when I was 5-6 weeks pregnant and then to Nebraska when I was 14 weeks pregnant. Those made for some long road trips because we had to stop every 2.5-3 hours so I could get out and walk. It sucked! I like to just get in the car and go and only stop for meals and potty breaks. Anyway, My heart did some funky things so I was put on a heart mediciation and even had to wear a heart monitor for a coupl...

Elliana is now 5 years old! This past school year she attended 4k at Community Care! Her teachers were Ms.Liz, Ms.Jeannine and Ms.Renae. Ellie did well in school but she was so very shy. It took her a good 4 months or so before she'd even talk to Ms.Liz. She had a few moments in class where she got emotional but they worked through them. The hardest part for her was going back to school after christmas break. She cried every day at drop off or during the school day for close to two weeks. It broke my heart leaving her when she was crying, and I would walk away while crying too. We all worked through it though and got back to normal drop offs where she'd give me a hug and go do her thing!  We got to go on her first field trip together, to The Little Farmer. She was nervous on the bus and clung to my arm most of the ride. She had fun during the field trip and it was good to see her play with a couple new friends. We did this field trip right in October. It was the same thing as w...

So I realize I've totally neglected this blog! It's crazy! Jeremiah is now 7.5, Elliana turned 5 in April and the biggest news was that we added to our family! Haley is almost 1.5 already!! So I will do a blog entry on each of the kids and catching up on Matt and I! Mr.Jeremiah! Last time I wrote, he was just getting ready to start 4k at Community Care! That school year was something else! He had three wonderful teachers, Ms.Amber, Ms.Jeannine and Ms.Renae. And boy, did he give them all a run for their money! We had a parent teacher conference in October, where Ms.Renae joined Ms.Amber. She told us that she has only had one other student more stubborn than Jeremiah, and Jeremiah was close to trumping that student! So if that doesn't tell you about Jeremiah, I don't know what does. However, we all worked as a team, we gave them permission to show him some tough love and using time at Grandma's house as a reward, we got him on the straight path! It was in 4k that Je...
