Where to Begin?

The kids are napping so I thought I would sneak in some time to blog finally. Let's see, for starters our awesome church relocated this weekend to an elementary school across the street from our old building. We've outgrown our old place and this school will give us much more opportunity to grow. Yesterday was our first service and it went great! It was so neat to see so many of our church family come together to serve and set up. We are so blessed to be a part of this church and look forward to what God will do in the coming months!

Camryn is doing well! She turned 5 on Feb. 10th and seems to have hit a growth spurt. I was looking at pictures of her from the beginning of the school year and she has changed so much. This morning while I was getting ready she came into the bathroom and informed me that she really wants a "tootle dog". She kept saying "a tootle dog, I don't mean a fart dog, a real tootle dog." Then she said "you know, those little white dogs." I said "you mean a poodle?" "Yes mommy, a poodle dog, not a fart dog." So funny! She comes up with the funniest words. Yesterday she asked me if I thought I looked fabulous. I wasn't quite sure how to answer that. On our way home from youth last night, she said "raise your hand if you work all the time and are never home with your family." She kept waiting for Luke to raise his hand. Luke felt awful!! That just shows you how our life has been the past few weeks. You don't realize how much it affects your kids when you are so busy, but it does!

As for Grant...well let's just say he is anti-diapers these days. I can't keep a diaper on this kid. I've resorted to duct taping his diapers and this afternoon he managed to find a way to still get it off. It was full of poop too, but I caught him right as he was taking it off. I know..it's gross! I'm really considering potty training him. He's almost 20 months which seems a little young, but I'm not sure what else to do. I actually went looking for the potty chair in the garage today, but couldn't find it. In other Grant news, he is starting to say a lot of words. My favorites are "car", "no" (it just sounds so cute, I'm sure it will get old fast!), "door", "outside", and "sissy". He will point to family pictures and say "Daddy", "sissy", "baby" (that's what he calls himself), and then he just skips right past me. He's such a stinker! He refuses to say "mama" unless he really wants something! He can also point to most of his body parts and name them too. He's a genius! : )

Pregnancy is going alright. I'm having to be careful with my activity level because if I'm real active I start having cramps and contractions. Also, at my last Dr. visit they said I'm measuring 3-4 weeks small so I'm having an ultrasound in the morning to make sure all is well with the little guy. I'm not too worried because I measured small with Grant and he was just fine. I think it is just how I carry and also the way he happened to be positioned on the day of my Dr. visit. Some days I feel like my belly is huge then other days I don't feel that way. So we will see what the tech says tomorrow. But really we aren't too concerned.

Luke turned 31 on Friday! He's been making a lot of old people noises lately so I guess this is what I have to look forward too! : ) I don't make old people noises yet, I just make pregnant lady noises! Well, I better go finish this Oreo cake I'm making. It's Luke's birthday cake, but I'm taking it to small group to share. I've never made it, but Luke LOVES Oreos so I hope he likes it! I love trying new recipes.
