Well after quite a long absence I am trying to update my blog. I have been pretty busy starting school at the Community College here that is had been hard to find time to sit down and share. I am doing 2 online classes which means that I get to stay home with the boys but it also means that any down time I have (nap and bed time) I am doing school work. The good news is that I am farther along in school then I thought. I only have one more quarter at the Community College and I will have my AA. So next fall I will be attending either Evergreen State College or University of Washington at the Tacoma campus. I am planning in getting my bachelors in English with emphasis in Children's literature and minor in photography. I will also get my teachers certificate so I can become an elementary librarian. Well that is what I am up too.
Colin is quite the character. He is my conversationalist. He has so many questions and thoughts that he is just bursting to share everything in his head. Today we had a discussion about him wanting to be the 3rd child. He was convinced that he could be the 3rd and the oldest. He didn't want to be the 1st child, no matter how cool I tried to make it sound. He say the number 3 his is favorite and wants to be the 3rd. I think he understands it just isn't possible but he was sure that being the 1st wasn't cool. He has found a love for what he calls the "little legos", we found a box filled with them that were my brothers. We keep them for times when Colby is asleep so quite time has become lego time for him. He has given Colby the nickname "Colbster" and calls him that quite consistently.
Conner is harder to describe. He is my cuddler, I can't put him to bed without him asking me to sleep with him. He actually snuck in bed with me the other night, normally he is a sound sleeper. He follows Colin almost every where and can do everything Colin can do (at least in his mind). He has a love for animals, he is always helping with my parents dogs and trying to hold the cats. One day I found him in the cat kennel with all the cats. I thought he was locked in but he was holding the door shut so he could pet the cats. They normally don't let him hold them. He also has a mind of his own, he will play Colin's games but doesn't let Colin boss him around.
Colby adores his brothers. He is all ready trying to follow them around. He has been crawling for about 3 weeks and is everywhere. He pulls himself up on everything and his more eager to be on his feet then crawling. I am worried that he will be walking before I am ready. We have one of those big exercise balls and that is his favorite toy, he will crawl anywhere to get to one. Colin and Conner love to push it around so they can make him chase it. He is also very interested in the dogs, he loves watching the big dogs through the back door and petting the dachshunds. Though I try to keep that to a minimum because he is a little rough still. He his very observant and has to see everything.
Well that is life at this time I will be posting pictures of the last month for every one to enjoy!

I loved to read how you are doing. I'm so glad that even though you have had a rough trial it seems like you are pulling through with such a great attitude and love for your boys! Know that I love you and am praying for you and your family1
ReplyDeleteYou will do awesome juggling school and the kiddos. You're such a wonderful mother and a good organizer. I'm sure everything will work out. I was curious to know what major you'd pick and your current academic plan suits you perfectly! I can totally see you being a librarian at an elementary school.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your classes! It'll fly by.
p.s. I don't know what you're doing this weekend, but Josh and I will be in Yelm for part of it so we were thinking about calling you and maybe swinging by to see you and the boys. I'll give you a call!
I think that you have picked a major that will suit you well. Think of how much you will be able to share in all those librarian classes and what new photo tricks you will have. I am sure it feels weird being in a class with "babies" at least that is what some of my other friends feel like when they have gone back to school. You look young enough that no one will know the difference. You'll just be more practical and reliable then those 18 year olds. Have Fun.
