i want to be able to say "not much going on" but the problem is there is plenty going on and i do not blog enough. i know i should keep this more because our memories are fleeting things. i don't even know why i'm writing this now seeing as i cannot think of what to say so i'll just leave some updates.
Q. is our big K5er. she can read if she practices and she's basically obsessed with dragons. she is the boss of the kiddos and reminds me daily of the all the mischief i used to get in when i was her age.
Auj is coming right along. she just celebrated her birthday #4 and had her second set of ear tubes installed, if i may call it that. she is a thoughtful child, always telling me thanks when i feed her and what not.
BBB, "bigT" to his uncle, is almost two! talking more everyday and is his sister's mime. this kid can repeat anything you say verbatim. trains, planes, and automobiles are his game with a side of tractors.
Sunshine is growing too fast, as babies have a tendency to do. she can roll over from her tummy to back and will be going the other way soon. she loves her hands and has recently discovered she loves her feet just as much. however, she can sometimes grab on and squeeze her toes so hard her fingers dig in which hurts and leads to some crying. she hasn't quite got the coordination going all the way. oh and i cannot forget how she chatters. if we talk to her she chatters and she loves the mornings...she is our social butterfly. p.s. she like to chew her tongue and its really cute.
Superman has been kidnapped by his thesis. hopefully, he will be returned in a few weeks after his FE exam. this has led me to flashbacks of his last semester in ungrad with two differences...BBB and Sunshine. needless to say, i am a tad burned out but so goes the life of a mother. i am doing all i can to enjoy my children in their stages.
one thing that has really been enjoyable has been watching one of my great friends experience becoming a mother. another one of my good friends will be experiencing the same next spring and it is a wonderful thing to watch. i have realized the desire to see my daughters grow up well, marry well, and become mothers. what a blessing for a mother, to become a grandmother. i cannot express these feelings in full yet but all i can say is somehow it has strengthened me.
of course there are my books and my goals as well. on my list to read are The Hunger Games trilogy, The Time Traveler's Wife, and The Lost Symbol. i have a few goals in mind...i must, must, must spend less time Facebooking, i would very much like to spend one day a week visiting Nanny and Poppy to collect stories of their life, and i would like to study the General Conference much more this season.
to close, i must say some of my favorite things of late. when Q. gets off the bus. chatting with her and doing her homework, seeing her learn has been fun. watching BBB and Auj make up their own games...they are so incredible together and their laughter fills our home with delight. recently, one of my favorite things was watching gramma C. play hot potatoe and i love to see little girls get their fingernails painted by their father. the weather, Edy's Drumstick ice cream, hamburgers, Desperate Housewives, keeping in touch through FB, quiet time at 2pm, and nursing my baby.
