I guess it has been a really long time since I updated this. Things around here have been quite busy. With the addition of baby number 4 I have found that I have very little time to my self. They are worth it though. It is hard to beleive that the Christmas Season is here already. Where has the year gone?

Sarah is doing very well in school. We applied to get her into the magnet school next. Hopefully she gets in and will go there instead of the regular middle school. She is quickly becoming a young lady. She is growing up way to fast. She has signed up to do basketball. I hope she enjoys it. She went to a practice like thing where all the kids that signed up were there. She hurt her fingr and got pretty upset. She was little upset because the other kids were better than her. We talked and I explained to her that they were better because they had been playing for a few years and she was just starting. She was ok after that. She's excited to start playing.

Albert, well we have had a bit of trouble with him lately. His behaviour has not been the best. He gets into trouble at school a good bit. Also he can't sit still long enough so he rushes through his school and doesn't get good grades. We are working with him but not much we are doing seems to be helping as of yet. He is in occupational therapy. The doctors did end up putting him on medicine which we just started. I know it's not a miracle cure but I am hoping this helps in getting him where he needs to be. One day at a time with tons of prayers. Yesterday I realized I can't find my cell phone so he told me "Mom, don't worry we can pray to God about where your phone is" He is so cute. He is such a sweet boy I just wish everyone could see what I do in him and not the rambuncious child he acts like.

Andrew is growing. He is at the age that he repeats what I say and does what I do. He is so cute. He learns something new each day. I really do enjoy watching him discover and learn new things. I said something to him the other day I can't remember what and he looked at me and said " mama shhh baby". The baby was sleeping and he was tellingme to be quiet I guess.

That brings us to Carolyn. Well not much to tell about her. She is growing. She sleeps all night. Thank you God for that!! She is reaching and grabbing and shoving everything into her mouth now. She loves to watch our christmas tree when it's lit up. She has discovered that when she is in her walker and she pushes with her feet she moves backward. She's funny she'll move a little then grin from ear to ear. She loves to 'talk' and boy when she gets going she's LOUD. I guess she needs to be to be heard in this house.

Here are some pictures. Starting with my birthday:

My cake!

Thanksgiving dinner!

Carolyn's first present. Her stocking that Albert's mom made her.

She loved the paper not sure how excited she was about the stocking though.

She sat there and crinkled and chewed that paper for a long time. She would crinkle and chew then get mad when it got soggy and would not crinkle anymore. So I would give her a new piece and she was happy again then.

A little video of her opening the gift.
