Updates

Sorry I've been neglecting the blog lately. I've been really busy around the house doing all sorts of new things. Just wanted to update on everyone.



Kevin- still doing the same old thing. Going to work, coming home, taking care of kids and a pregnant wife, etc. etc. In the middle he has found time to finish getting my strawberry bed ready for my new strawberry plants which are now planted. Not like last year, these are real plants. He also worked some more on the playscape.



Me- I have been baking like crazy. I decided to start making my own homemade bread (inspired by my sister who makes it really well) and I've been working on perfecting it. I think I've figured out the secret because it's turned out really well the last two times. I only had one mess up that was inedible. I've also found some recipes in a book that I've been trying out. Most are turning out great. I'm feeling great for those that are wondering. I haven't gained much weight at all (about 8 pounds) and I think that is largly due to the fact that Gavin keeps me so busy that I burn it all off. This baby is measuring right but she's not poking out as much as Gavin so I'm not uncomfortable yet. I forget I'm pregnant half the time.



Landan- Landan's doing pretty well in school. When I went to his parent teacher conference she said he was a lot calmer and was having some really good days where he wasn't getting into trouble at all. He's also a very avid reader. He's in the highest reading group in his class. This makes me very happy because I didnt' think he'd have the patience to learn to read but he loves it. He's really getting good (for a 5 yr old). Since then he's been having some trouble with hitting people again but we're doing what we can to fix that and this last week he did pretty well.



Gavin- He's the same as always: always smiling, always busy. He's always moving and getting into things. He loves Legos and anything his brother is doing. He's just starting to like to color too but he doesn't really do much on the page. He just likes the crayons. He got re-evaluated with ECI to see if he had caught up with his peers with his speech and they said he's still at an 18 mo. level (he's 22 mo. old now). So he's still a litle behind but he's getting there.
