So It Has Been Awhile

I was doing so well updating at least once a month. Here we are almost five months later. I'll try to be better in 2010. As I sit in the recliner writing this Logan is hitting me across the face with his blankie and laughing hysterically. Kylie is building a "girl" out of mega blocks and asking me to hold the pile of blocks while it sleeps. Finding time to sit down and write anything that is remotely coherent is tough these days.

We have had a very busy Fall. Kylie is now three, into princess anything and girl anything. She is still taking dance once a week. This Spring we are going to let her try T-ball. It is a three and four year old league. We figure at the least, it will provide good comedy for us. Christmas was great this year because she understood all the traditions. It was kind of odd this year because she knew that it was Jesus Birthday but she kept walking around saying, "Jesus is coming soon."

Logan is into anything that has wheels or rolls. He likes to throw things at all of us. That's a lot of fun. We all flinch when he walks by us. He will throw anything, toys, remotes, bottles of lotion. Doesn't matter. If he can pick it up, he is going to lodge it at your head. He is all boy. He does like to dance though.

Baby Sophia is coming right along. Just had my 2nd ultrasound this month. Everything was fine, just needed to double check some things. She now weighs in at over a pound. The ultrasound tech did a close up of her face for Kylie. She has fat cheeks just like the rest of us. I wonder if she'll be Kylie Version Two. I have given up hope for any child with dark hair.

This post is sounding like an annual Christmas letter. Life is just calm right now. I'm not complaining. I mean, I just asked Kylie if she was REALLY head butting Logan and now he is chasing her to the play room. I expect screams in the next five minutes. Other than the normal noise that we are accustomed to, life is quiet here. I do get nervous thinking about how I will handle three kids, but I was nervous about two kids. I'm not sure we do everything "right" or like everyone else does it. How I see it, at the end of the day, if everyone is fed, clean, and relatively uninjured, I consider it a success. Hopefully we'll be able to maintain the same high standards when Sophie gets here.

I'll try to be better with the updates.
