So for starters my big boy has his first tooth!! I knew it was coming but I wasn't expecting it so early. He will be 5 months on Sunday so having a tooth isn't crazy, but I was hoping he would wait. Oh well. Nolan is playing with his toes and sits up fairly well when in his high chair or bumbo. I have no given him cereal yet cause we are kind of busy lately. Today I switched him into size 3 diapers and when I put the first one on him this morning I almost teared up cause he is growing so fast. Mark says I'm goofy, but its a mom thing I guess.
The girls are growing as well. Ellie is enjoying her tap/ballet classes on Monday nights while Chloe goes to ballet on Thursday afternoons. Chloe is in the same class as her best friend from school and church so they are both happy about that. Ellie is starting to read and do math. She asks all the time for help with math or for Mark to read her big books. Chloe loves school and can usually tell me who the leader for the day was and what they had for snack. I am always amazed at what the girls have learned each day.
I have been busy taking care of the kids as well as playing volleyball on Monday nights. I love playing volleyball and wish I could do it everyday, but I wasn't blessed to go pro.
Mark is very busy at work and continues to practice his archery almost everyday. He is hoping to shoot a deer this season, but we will see what happens.
We have a busy schedule until the holidays are over it seems. This weekend we are splitting up to go to 2 different weddings. Mark and Ellie will go to Nebraska for a wedding of a friend of Mark's from college, while Chloe, Nolan and I will go with my parents to Ames IA for a cousins wedding. Next weekend is Halloween and maybe I'll finally get to meet my brother's g/f, then its Pheasgiving(Pheasant hunting and Thanksgiving combined) with Mark's mom's side of the family down in Story City, IA. Then we have another cousin of mine getting married and by then its almost Thanksgiving.... life just seems to fly by these days.
I still need to pack and get things ready for this weekend and tomorrow I'm watching my niece and then taking her and Nolan to Sioux City to meet up with my SIL for some pics of our kiddos. Hope to have a great day!
