Long time....

I know I am way behind on posting on the blog. I still don't have my camera upstairs to post pictures, but I thought I would update the blog anyway.

Sam is growing like a weed, or more like a marshmallow. He is getting to be a little porker, hmmm... maybe he gets that honest. Part of the reason I haven't been able to post in awhile is the fact that one or both of the kids have been sick for the last 3 weeks. Sam has actually lost a pound this week. He is now 10lb. 8oz. We were at the doctor with him yesterday. He still has an upper respiratory infection, which has also developed into a double ear infection. NICE. But, we are praising God that he has been protected from the more serious RSV or pneumonia. He is smiling all the time now, and even "talking" a little. He is starting to get into the fun stage for me. Most of you who know me, know that newborns aren't my favorite. I like the variety that sleep through the night and interact with me. Sam is still getting up all through the night, thanks to the ear infection. I think I have had less than 12 hours sleep all week total. But, this too shall pass.....

Lexi Kate has had the stomach virus, RSV, and pneumonia in the last 3 weeks. And, my OB asked if I was sure I was finished having children. YES, YES, YES! I have one of each, both healthy as far as major things go. Let's quit while we aren't too far behind the bus. LK's imagination is amazing! Her memory is even more so. Last night she saw a rolled up beach now and began describing it in detail and talking about all the things we did at the beach in September. What, I don't remember what I did yesterday. LK is still a great big sister. I think she loves Sam as much as I do, if that is possible. She is a super little helper and worries about him all the time.

Jeff is exhausted. We are praising the Lord for all the work he has provided us right now. So many contractors are going under due to lack of work, and we are going under all the work that is piled up. Jeff is working from 7am- 1am every day last week. He worked from 8am-9pm yesterday, which was Saturday. We have 3 big commercial jobs going in addition to the residential. Thank you Jesus, please join us in praying Jeff can just sustain to get it all done. I am also busy with work now. I have several real estate projects in the mix, and am praying they all close.

Gotta run now to get ready for a baby shower. Thank you all for your prayers and loving our family.
