It has been FOREVER since blogging on this blog! I have been really busy with life in general. Between school, art fair and a mobile 9 month old, we have been also trying to find a solution to an aggressive 5 yr old. So far so good. . . Ian has been doing much better with the behavior at school. After figuring him out, Miss Maren and the DIVA she has become will be next on my things to correct. She has become quite mouthy and it's not OK. Other than a few behavioral setbacks, the kids are doing great. Ian is enjoying his Preschool Days ( even more when he isn't in trouble) and Maren has been frequenting the daycare at school. . .Nora, like I said before, is mobile. She pulls herself up on things ( she has been doing this for about a month) and will walk along things, and behind toys with wheels. It won't be long before she is walking. She has no teeth at the moment, but with the large quantities of drool that comes out of her little mouth, I am guessing it won't be long. She has been a trooper with the babyfood. . . now if only we could get the sleeping all night down. . .
We have been spending a lot of time out of town. We had Christmases to go to in December and January, we have made some trips back to Walnut to see Hoffmann's.
This past 2 weeks have been long. Barb's cancer has progressed enough that she is no longer able to do the things she once could. She is now in a hospital bed, on hospice and is fortunate to have not only a awesome husband to watch over her, but an awesome extended family to help out. Prayers would be appreciated not only for Barb and Nick, but everyone involved in these tough times.
On February 24th my grandma Opal passed on. She lived a long life (92 yrs) and was still at home until the end. She will be missed. The kids seemed to handle that funeral and activities pretty well. Questions were asked and answered, it will be a preview of what is soon to come with their Grandma. . .
