"Mom, Is That God?"





Well looking back at my last post I can't BELIEVE how much Cora has grown! So I'll give you a little update on her, she continues to amaze us with all she does daily. At almost 7 1/2 months Cora is:


-saying "dada" (Aug 15th)

-saying "mama" (Aug 24th)

-crawling on her hands and knees (Aug 24th ....that was a big day for her!). She amazed us by starting the army crawl and scooting all over way back on July 12th, but last week she picked herself up to her hands and knees and now there's NO stopping her!!

-Pulling up on EVERYTHING...she started with a diaper box on Aug 14th and now pulls up on anything she can reach.


-She is in the process of cutting 4 teeth, her bottom middle ones and on the top she skipped the middle ones and is getting the next ones over first (Mom, you'll have to help me with the proper terminology :)

-After about a month of trying she's FINALLY eating baby food...now we're working on the sippey cup.

She is keeping us on our toes, learning new things daily and constantly amazing us with all she can do!!









Beau has also turned 3 since my last post. Yes, 3, and don't even get me started on the fact that he will be starting PRESCHOOL in 2 weeks....and riding the BUS. Where has my baby gone!!!

He was so cute last night, it was storming while we were eating supper. He says "mom how are we going to make it stop?" I said " we can't stop the weather". "Oh, well who can?" I said "only God I guess" After supper we went downstairs and I turned on the Presidential Address. Beau watches for a few seconds and asks "Mom, is that God?"










I just put our August pictures up on our shutterfly site, so you can get caught up with us over there too.

Around here.....

Here's just a little snapshot of what life looks like right now. Around here we're starting to get into the basketball season.  Both Beau and Cora are participating in traveling basketball through SYBA.  The crazy weekends of tournaments haven't started yet, but they're both having practice regularly.  Luke will be the assistant coach to Cora's team this year.  Sylvie will get to play too, but her season won't start until January and is one game on Saturday mornings in town. Around here are three kids are going to religion class on Wednesday nights, I'm teaching Cora's 3rd grade class.  Between that and basketball practice it's rare to have a weeknight where we are all home. Around here we're getting excited for the holidays!  I'm starting in on some shopping, planning and thinking about getting the house decorated.  The kids are getting Christmas lists made, and my desk is full of December Daily prep work.  Around here I...

WITL Day 5 - Friday

Friday began, as predicted, with a steady soaking rain and I was glad I switched my run to yesterday.  At 5am Georgia decided I've hit the snooze button enough, puts her paws up on the bed and licks my hands until I get up.  She didn't get the same glad feeling about not getting to head out on a run, and lay pouting by the front door. I fill her food bowl while the coffee brews, and she decides that if we can't run she'll ask to be repeatedly let in and out instead.  The result was lots of muddy paw drying. Around 6 Luke leaves for work and Georgia settles down.  The house is finally quiet and still and I'm thankful for the few minutes of peace. It's daycare appreciation day, and this year I am showered with gifts from my families.  It definitely adds a boost to the otherwise dreary and slow start to the day.  As the kids are packing their bags for school I find that some homework has been neglected throughout the week.  I'm ...

Not The Only One

Another Halloween has come and gone.  This year we had a dinosaur, vampire, and Snow White (returning for the second year in a row).   Holidays like this are always such a stark reminder of just how not babies my babies are.  Once again I just wasn't in the Halloween spirit this year.  We didn't even go to a pumpkin patch or apple orchard.  The few free hours we had were cold and rainy and the kids weren't in to it.  I definitely wasn't into it. This year, as if I needed more of a reminder of how fast my kids' childhood is slipping away, the social media trend seemed to be "Halloween from years gone by".  Everyone, at least in my "friend" feed was posting year to year Halloween pictures of their kids.   As I was busy liking and loving everyone's past Halloweens I came across a post that stopped me in my tracks.  In her post she stated that she felt like the Scrooge of Halloween and that what was once fun now felt like ...
