An Update

We haven't done anything to exciting in the past few days, just a tired mommy trying to keep a clean house. We are excited about the many things coming up very quickly. We have a couple birthdays, a family reunion and a baby all before school starts. I can't believe how quickly the summer is going by.

I think that Samantha is getting excited for school again. She likes to tell people that she is almost in first grade. She is also trying to share her skills she learned at school with Andrea. They like to play school and take turns teaching each other and their toys. It's funny and cute to hear Samantha try to teach Andrea how to sound out words and identify letters.

Andrea really likes having Samantha around and is trying to be like her big sister. I can also tell that she is very excited at all the things JJ can do and can't wait for him to chase her around the house. She still loves her puzzles. I think a perfect day for her is about 4 new puzzles and a few coloring books. She would sit all day doing puzzles, taking them apart, and doing them again, with a bit of coloring in there.

JJ is growing so fast. I enjoy looking over his pictures in past posts and seeing how he has changed some, grown some and still is our sweet little boy. He recently entered a screaming stage. He hasn't gotten as loud as the girls were, but he still enjoys a good scream here and there. I think he has also decided that walking might be fun. He scales the furniture around the room very well and is getting fast. He also is trying to stand on his own. He will even take a step as he falls when he isn't thinking about it.

Jamie and I are doing well. We are keeping busy trying to keep up three kids. We are also looking at the end of Jamie's Air Force career and trying to get ready for the next steps. We are also about to celebrate our eighth wedding anniversary.

Sorry that I don't have any pictures to post, but thought you still might like an update.
