Wow well, Quite a bit has happened here at the "Houts" Hold while i had a minor hiatus on blogging. No real reason why i haven't blogged except that I didn't feel like it, or when i did feel like it i was busy and didn't have the time to sit at the computer and type while the kids are doing only god knows what.... So i wait until times likes these; when Kendal is sleeping and Sladen is enjoying his evening movie and Hot-wheels in peace, without the terrorizing sister kicking through his parking lot or sitting on his towers. He is ever so patient, but he LOVES his alone time.
So lets get started.
Kendal and Slade had their doctor yearly checkups. They are doing great and growing like little weeds... Cuter weeds than dandelions, but weeds none the less! I guess thats what happens when you feed and water them with healthy foods and drinks! Which leads me to slades nook jar that seems to be filling right up! He is eating those fruits and vegetables like a champ! He says he's going to be big and strong like daddy. That he is my friends....That he is!
Kendal is cutting 2 of the last 4 teeth in. Seems like these 4 teeth have been giving her a run for her money. its almost like they keep playing a mean game of hide and go seek. Except there are no giggles coming from this game! Just a lot of painful days and nights, and alot of restless, sleepless nights. I will be thankful when the teeth are through and I know she will be too! Her vocabulary is getting quite large. I mean how large can it be at a year old? but you know what i mean. She says things like please, thank you, welcome, papa, bubby, momma, da da, bert, yes, no...... (now let me explain something... she is not an "on command" type of gal. She is "do at my own leisure and pace" type of gal. ) So are these words always flowing? no. Does she call me a liar sometimes? yes. BUT she CAN say them, and she DOES know them! She just inherited the stubborn genes from her....... FATHER. ha! She is doing really great. When you tell her to do something, she knows what it is and does it. she is a pretty smart young lady. She can eat with silver ware and she prefers them. not like her caveman brother who was born in a barn and chooses not to use the shiny silverware.
Now the caveman brother is doing really well. he is so independent; and he thrives off of it. We got him walkie talkies for his birthday, and i let him play out in the backyard if he takes one with him. He plays out there, i radio in to him "what are you doing?" or if he's not in window sight i say "i cant see you, move where i can see you"....and he does. He just plays out there knowing that he is such a big boy. That makes me smile. he's so independent and growing so much. He is no longer my baby, but my Little man! He is really excited to get settled in virginia beach to get started at pre-school. he is MORE than ready!
So packing has started and time is running short. We have 18 days left here in michigan. And its real bitter sweet. We get to move into our new house and set it up before daddy gets home, and we have visitors already planning dates to come on by. We are getting excited, and the calender is filling up! but its going to be hard to leave our family and friends, yet again. Its going to be hard to up root the kids from people they see on a daily and weekley basis....But that is the name of the game, and i am fortunate to have such loving and understanding parents. They help me BEYOND believe and without them and help from grandma kay, i would have been lost through this process. They kept me afloat and I am forever grateful.
Moving plans are being set into motion and its becoming "real life...."
I have had dr's appointments and I am getting my body straightened out. I am on thyroid medication and it is bringing me back to life and out of my lazy slump. My body is still trying to get used to the medication, but i can tell it is working. Thank goodness. I also have another appointment to try and get my endometriosis evaluated and get it under control. I am in a lot of pain and it is very uncomfortable. in due time...... in due time.
Brian is doing really well, and he seems to be enjoying his time on deployment now that he is back to the squadron. He looks really great and seems to be in good spirits. He called me this week and that gave me my weekly husband boost! haha. That is one amazing man!
Alright well, its time for me to close this thing off. Im sure I have left quite a bit out. I will try and blog again soon. Until then, Love to you all and Enjoy the fall weather, isnt it wonderful?!
