Ok, so things have gotten busy ....

Wow, a lot of birthdays this month. Happy (belated) birthday to Brenda, Brian, and most importantly, Wyatt!!! The pictures from Wyatt's birthday were adorable, thanks Brenda!!

I know it's been a while ... obviously, school started and it's been a little more overwhelming that I expected. I just keep telling myself, it's only for a year. I can make it. Only a year ... only a year ... then I can get my life back ... whatever there is left of it anyway. School is going well. We have a test every day, so my head it pretty much buried in a book when I'm not dealing with the kids or sleeping ... though it tends to haunt me in my dreams. Did I mention that there is a test EVERY day??? Anyway, it's going well, though.

Levi started at his brand new school yesterday. Apparently his seemingly nice teacher from orientation wasn't there ... her alter ego showed up for class on the first day, but he'll adjust I'm sure. Today, as I was walking him in to class, we got to meet the hallway nazi. They are in a hurry to get the kids accustomed to the new school, and were not permitting parents to walk the kids to class. They pretty much had to tear him from me. I wasn't very happy about that, but I wasn't alone. There was a group of parents nearby who looked like they were getting ready to tackle the lady. But, all in all he is very excited about the 3rd grade, and in his words "I think it will be a good year for me." Yes, ladies and gentlemen, 8 going on 30.

Jessi is doing well. She's beginning to cruise a little around the furniture. Too cute! To see those chubby little legs holding her up ... ugh, I could just eat her up! She started saying Gigi this week, which was very exciting for Mom. So, now she'll get away with just about anything. She's done really well with the Stage 3 foods, and has been getting to sample table foods, which I believe she prefers. Shocking, I know! I can't wait for the momentous occasion of NO MORE FORMULA!!!!! 6 weeks and counting ...

I'll try to get some pictures uploaded at some point ...

It was good catching up on everything reading the blogs. I'm glad that everyone is taking advantage of this. What on earth did we do before?
