And, because, I always have pictures to share and I got my charger for my camera (finally)....
Shepherd rediscovered his love of blueberries.
My walking man
He loves steps.
Ashton lookin' adorable
Hunter finally learned to peddle! Yay- nothing like peer pressure!
We really havent been doing much. Shepherd is doing oh, so much better. His little cold is almost gone and those two pesky molars seem to have made their way through. He is definitely down to one nap a day and has been for about a month. It makes for an early bedtime, but that is just fine by me.
Speaking of naps, Ashton has officially ditched his naps as well. He watches a movie with Hunter for quiet time- but he says "now I free (three), I not take naps anymores. I big." Thankfully, this also leads to another early bedtime. No later than 7:15, Ashton and Shep are both down and I get to spend some one on one time with just Hunter. Ashton is also settling a bit as far as his terrible two's. I am still reading the book of "The Strong Willed Child" by James Dobson because I have no doubt that he has my nature. :)
And, Hunter is getting so smart. He is starting to get the sounding out stuff of reading. He officially sounded out his first word last week (bat). After his brothers go to bed, we play two games (Uno Moo and the Thomas matching game), do his Phonics book, and then he plays football/ catch with me or daddy. He is in bed by 8:15. He is thriving in his 3 day a week preschool. I always get positive feedback and does enjoy it. I have his K-5 paperwork and I am delaying registering him... just because, it just doesnt seem like it should be time. I still have homeschooling in the back of my head, but for now, the Lord has given me a peace about public schools. I know that I can trust Him and that He will give us wisdom about the boys and their education.
This was kind of all over the place. But it has been awhile since I gave a true update. Basically, we are doing great. I am couponing like a mad woman and I am up to almost 50% savings each month on groceries. I have so many to-do plans in my head- if you know me well, I am always planning something. I am LOVING staying at home and the Lord has been so absolutely faithful in allowing me to do so.
The Lord has also been talking to me about getting more serious about my walk with Him. I have been lax with it lately. Thankfully, the Holy Spirit speaks ever so clearly to me with convictions, the Lord definitely knows that if it is not clear and firm- I will miss it or ignore it. More on this later though- just pray that the Lord guide me where He wants me and that I will be intentional with my walk.
Until next time-
