What's new?

So sorry not to be posting so much these days...it has been really busy. My photography business has taken off. This is great, and I truly love it, but it does add onto my daily duties of being a mom, working mom, and let's see...maid, cook, taxi driver, seamstress, personal shopper, homework helper, etc...

Let's see what's new:

Jackson started Cub Scouts about 2 weeks ago. He loves it and is so excited about the prospect of camping, fishing, and all the other outdoor father-son activities that come with scouts. I think it teaches them some great life skills and am happy that he likes it.

Davis started soccer a few weeks ago and had his first game last weekend. He is the only child we have in sports this season, and I am so excited that Davis gets to be the center of attention for once. After 3 years of watching Jackson play, it's nice to have everyone on the sidelines for him for a change. Davis LOVES soccer and he's really good! He is a big kid, and he's not scared to kick the ball hard and run fast. It's fun to watch him!

Drew is the same sweet little boy, only the terrible twos have settled in, which means we don't see that sweet little boy often. Mostly, we have a moody, grumpy, boy who now likes to hit and yell and cry at the drop of a hat, or lego, or whatever else is in his way. The hives have gone away (YEAH!!) FINALLY! They lasted about 8 weeks, but now they are gone, and we are starting to re-introduce all of his "allergic" foods, and we wait and see if he reacts. We had a follow-up yesterday with the allergist who said everything is good. We go back at the end of the year. Wish us luck! Hopefully, the hives were a one time thing, and we won't ever see them again!

I am well now, and gearing back up into training. I am SO thankful for all of the support that I got. I reached my goal, actually surpassed it, and raised almost $2000!! Let the countdown begin...only 2 weeks until I walk 39 miles in 2 days! AHHH...I'm a little nervous! I hope that I can do it!!
