Monsters!

The stage of the "boogie man" has arrived! For the past week or so Micah will randomly come running around the corner (usually from the playroom) crying and scared out of his mind because the "monster" is going to get him. We haven't ever talked about monsters in our house so it was safe for me to assume that daycare yet again has taught him something new. He is now also scared of loud noises. Whether it's the garbage truck coming, a school bus passing, or the neighbor revving up his motorcycle, he doesn't want any part of it. Yet he is obsessed with all 3 of those vehicles! Poor guy is stuck between a rock and hard place. Right now his favorite toys consist of his Lightning McQueen race car a fire truck and his ambulance. I thought maybe a trip to the fire station would spark his curiosity and if he heard the engine and and saw the lights maybe his fear of the loud noises would dissipate...here's to wishful thinking!

TIG is just around the corner...3 days to be exact! So I might fall off the blog world for a bit, but we will be back to update you on all the fun in April!


Oh! The pregnancy is getting a little better. At our last visit we heard the baby's heart beat...that NEVER gets old! The sickness has diminished a bit, still visiting the bathroom everyday but not nearly as much as the last 2 months! As of this Friday I will be just getting into my second trimester so hopefully things will get better!

Till next time...

I'm glad you're feeling at least a little better! Philip has started being scared of things, too. His big fears are the house alarm, smoke alarms, and I don't know what in his room when he wakes up at night scared. What fun growing up can be. I hope Micah starts to get better, especially about the loud noises. What a bummer for a kid who likes trucks!

Hello & Goodbye to Sum•mer

sum·mer 1 ˈsəmər/ noun 1 .  the warmest season of the year, in the northern hemisphere from June to August and in the southern hemisphere from December to February. I just wanted to give myself a second to really think about this thing called summer. Anyone else think this definition is just a little bit vague? It's that time of year where we get all excited to have ZERO schedule, endless electronics, the chance to travel and cram in all of the fun you planned for all year long. Then when this so called "summer" ends, you feel bamboozled, like someone just waved that 4th of July pie you went to that party to specifically eat, right in front of your face only to look...not eat. Like seriously, it was here, right in front of my face, and now... it's gone. Now, now we pack lunch every night, we get our homework in (which I don't even understand), we figure out which parent is going to be the taxi for the day, we actually have to ...

Giving Thanks...Kapri's Surgery and Recovery.

You know that sinking, useless, hopeless feeling you get when one of your children are sick or hurt? Those feelings were almost more than I could take when I went to take Kapri in for her 15 month check up on Tuesday morning and ended up in surgery Tuesday night... A little over two weeks ago Kapri began to limp on her right leg and after noticing I kept an eye on it and it would differ day to day.  Sometimes it wasn't even noticeable as she would run back and forth from her brother or just in her play.  Other times is was so noticeable I found myself holding her more than I ever had (after she learned how to walk).  I decided that it was time to call the Dr. and see what his thoughts were.  So Friday (18th) we got her in. The typical questions like, did she fall, was she pushed at school, does she have a temp, etc.  Since NONE of these symptoms seemed to be the case he wanted me to just keep her on Motrin and since she had her 15 month check up on Tuesday (...

She Turned 7!

SEVEN, she did it again... who does she think she is trying to get another year older on us. In all seriousness, she is SEVEN. Like, what happened to 5 and 6? Let me tell you what 7 looks like on my little Pripri... Just a few things about this girl 1. Guess who her favorite person is...duh. Micah 2. She is soooo much more compassionate and caring than I could have ever imagined. 3. She might be 7, however her attitude screams teen! She is sensitive but oh so brave and she is never afraid to take on new adventures! 4. Her best friend is still, you guessed it, Maggie. 5. Right now she is playing softball (second season) and is having a ton of fun. Cheerleading is still on her brain, but for now, we will stick with this. 6. When she laughs, you can't help but laugh with her. Her laugh alone will make you light up. 7. Her favorite things include: Unicorns, Bear (her pink one), Unicorns, Mermaids, those fake glasses (see pic below), her American Girl Doll (pic above), Uni...
