Okay so I haven't posted in a while.
Ellice: Life for me has been pretty hectic. My job working with students with emotional behavior disorder has been very busy. Never a boring day. Pray for me every day. We also got a new principal at the beginning of October.
That has not been easy. there are some improvements but change is never easy.
On Dec. 16th I had surgery to replace my ACL (that's in the knee). This was a worker's Comp surgery that I couldn't ahve last year when I got injured due to the fact that I was pregnant with my beautiful (handsome as daddy just informed me) boy Jareth. I still can't walk yet and it is very hard to do anything. I can't lift jareth. Laurana and I have been home together for 24/7 for the last week and to say we are alittle tired of each other might be an understatement.
AS for the year: I feel like it has been a good year, I have a job that I love most days, two children I love all the time and a husband who is superman.
Brad: Has been dealing with depression this year. His job is under his education and he is often taken for granted and treated in a not great manner. He does however get up and go to work every day. he works hard for this family. As
emotionally drained as I am every day he comes home cooks dinner, does laundry and takes care of me and the kids. I am very proud of my husband. I wish he could get a break, but I know that we chose for him to not work nights so that we could be together as a family and that is our choice.
Laurana: Laurana turned two this year. She is talking non stop. In fact she is at teh store with daddy right now talking non stop. I can hear her. She loves to take care of her baby dolls, and would lvoe nothing better than to sit in mommy's lap all day. She is potty trained for the day time. We had a little regression this last week since my surgery but the dr. said that is normal. Toddlers what things to be like they were when mommy could walk and carry me on her back. But that as things get back to normal she will get back to normal as well.
Jareth: Jareth is six months old now. He can roll over from front to back and back to front. He loves his sister more than anything, and if he is crying she can almost always make him laugh. He loves banana's and will have nothing to do with squash or green beans. He loves to sit up and sleeps through the night from 9:00 feeding to 7:00 feeding. He looks like daddy, even has his red hair. I wonder if I will ever get a baby that looks like me.

Annevsary's and baby firsts

Okay, let see, our 4th annavsary was this week. We have been married four years. It feels a little longer. I guess we have just packed alot into it and that makes it seem longer. I am really very happy/glad, that I married brad. He has been supportive when I have been flipping out. He takes care of me, and needs me, he is calmed by me when he is flipping out, he has created the cutest little bear with me, we have shared laughs, football games, Musicals, movies, TV shows, books, basketball games, tears, hardship, lack of funs... in short, the better and the worse, the richer and the poorer, the sickness and the health, alaughter and the sorrow, I married a very specail man and I am truly blessed because of it. I can't thank God enough that He saved bard for me. As for First, this week the baby slept all night for the first time. We fed her at 9:00 pm, put her down and she doesn't get up til around 7:30. (of course if we get up early and start moving around she wakes up too) but ...

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Sanity

Okay so this week has been a little wild. Between getting ready for testing at school. Trying to keep students who are ready for summer focused. PMSing, Brad having his huge action research proposal due yesterday and many other little things, I have felt just the slightest bit overwhelmed. I will say that Sanjya finally got voted off American Idol. He couldn't sing, coldn't dance and there and there was really no reason he made it this far above and beyond that people wanted to see what crazy thing he would do each week. Well finally they got it through their heads that he coudln't sing and sent him packing, me and Simon Cowl were thrilled. Please continue to pray for brad, his feet and shins are still bothering him. wE think it is shin splints but we are not sure. He is giving them the 2-4 week rest period that shin splints need and if they don't get better he will go to the dr. as I mentioned above, testing starts next week, here in teh state of Kentucky, and th...
