Well, what can I say? Honestly, the only reason it has taken me so long to get back into blog, is that I forgot my login and password. Yes, the mommy brain has kicked in and it's amazing I can remember anything, let alone my name, where I live and how many children I have, what their names are, so on and so forth. And after several different days of attempting to figure out my login information, I realized that I had entered in an incorrect e-mail address. I had been cussing at my computer as to why I couldn't remember my information, since I'm so original and I usually use the same information. Anywhoo, I'm back on track...

We are a busy family. Bry is working his second job, tax season for H&R Block along with his regular job and than helping me with the papers on Sunday. Still too heavy to lift and with my hernia, I have a hard time lifting the bundles of paper let alone when we get them all stuffed and ready to deliver to the store and customers. Bryan is really liking his job at H&R though and has learned a lot. It works great for our family. He also has been busy helping me around the house since it feels totally out-of-control for me. We are getting it back on track though. I sure love him for all of his help.

I am busy with the two little ones as well as running the other kids around to school, to church activities, to the store, to wherever their little hearts desire!

Morgan is four-months old now! Can't believe it. He is doing really well on his medication and his levels are back to normal (for his hypo-thryoidism). We go back to the Dr in St. Louis, end of March to check back in with them. We have monthly visits to the hospital in Springfield to do bloodwork and check his levels to make sure that they are within the range. It took until this last month for the levels to be in the normal range so about 3 and 1/2 months on the meds.

Carson is a babbling and loveable 29-month old. She can be sweet and loving one minute and just a pain in the patoose the next. She usually loves Morgan, but there are some moments when I know she is looking at me like, "When is he going to go back to where he came from?" Carson LOVES Dora and SpongeBob, loves to count and tell me that everything is either purple or blue (must be her favorite colors), ask for chocolate milk (and gets really ticked when we say no!) and always asks to go to see Dad at work or go to Aunt Ashley's house. She even has started asking to call dad at work.

Cameron is doing well in kindergarten. They just recently celebrated their 100th day of school. He had to take 100 items to school to share with his class. It seems like just yesterday he was starting kindergarten. He is growing up so fast.

Rylee is in the 3rd grade and Miss Super Reader. In January, she was the 2nd highest AR reader in points. This is from K-6th grade so she is competing with quite a few students. She is involved in Activity Days since she turned 8 and LOVES it. She also celebrated her 9th birthday end of January.

Jordan is almost 12! It's exciting to see his growth. He is doing well in 6th grade. He was teamed up with a new aide in the mornings, Mrs. Shaw, isn't at the school anymore. He still has Mrs. Howell and seems to be doing well. He also was the 3rd highest AR reader in January, right behind Rylee. Our kids love to read.

Love to all, hope you are all doing well...
