Its been a really long time since I last wrote a listed update of our happenings.  Last one was in April?! As I sit here in the complete silence except for some faint sawing noises from Brian working away in the garage, its a good time to just reflect and think.  Ha ha!

Today my Mom took Luke, Adam and Gregory with her to Jasmine’s 3rd Birthday Party.  I’ve been getting bad headaches and Titus has an ear infection and cough going on right now.  So today we stayed home with Daddy.  While he worked away at the book nook we played in the little pool, played Lego’s, ate lunch, watched cartoons and hung out.  It was nice just having my two babies.  Even though one of them was fussy and needed me A LOT!

Titus is teething too.  Lots of BIG molars coming in! He’s nursing a lot for comfort. 

Gideon seems to do better all the time.  Although sometimes language doesn’t seem to come FAST enough.  He still does a lot of whining and we don’t always know what he needs! Those times are tough.  Can’t believe we will send him to the preschool that is special for helping him with speech in September.  he seems so young but we think this will really help him out. 

We’ve been going to Biblical counseling for a time now with Adam.  We have been seeing some good improvements with Adam.  Its causing him to really examine his heart and if he’s seeking to please HIMSELF or GOD.  He hasn’t been on ADD medication for a while now.  Being that he isn’t in school we haven’t seen a NEED for this medication.  I think the combo of things we are doing are helping.  Brian and I have been learned a lot too about parenting and learning to see how God desires us to do things.   I would be lying if I said I’m not a little concerned about school starting up.  I am.  Fifth Grade is a challenge from what I understand.  We are praying that this year be a smoother one for Adam than last. 

Gregory had a blast at camp this past week! He is such a sweet guy! “REAL” football practice starts up Aug 6th.  He’s been practicing for a while now and doing weight lifting.  August first is HIGH SCHOOL registration for Gregory! Yikes! This summer is flying by too fast! I’m hoping he gets in the HONORS classes he was hoping for. 

We are constantly coming up with ideas and projects around here.  Trying to use our space wisely! I’ve been cleaning out stuff all over and getting rid of things.  I still have more to do.  We decided to take one of the boys closet which didn’t have a lot in it anyway and make a book nook. Its coming along nice and will be great!

I’m really in a “nesting mode” these days.  Just wish I had more energy to go along with my MIND that is spinning with ideas of organization!

Pregnancy is going along fine.  Still no heartbeat heard at last week appt.  I’m not worried though.  Saw healthy babe at the Ultra sound.  I’m feeling the baby move a lot already.  I’m tired and been getting some bad headaches lately. 

Looking forward to a little get-away just the two of us next week.  And Donna so sweetly offered to let us get away for our 15th anniversary in September.  We feel so blessed! Excited!

I have Gregory bday pics and some Eden pics to post.  Just haven’t had much time at the computer.

Adam is saving up for Bike.  We said if he saved up 1/2 we would help him with the other 1/2.  He misses having a bike to ride around on. 

Gideon is cooling me off! If his clothes get wet, he feels the need to strip off everything!
