Family update....

Well I felt it was time to update everyone about what we have been up too.

The past couple of weeks have been crazy. Seb has been doing good in school, homework time and reading is still a struggle. He also has been enjoying going to his Singing Knights Rehearsals on Wed after school. Boy Scouts meeting were postponed this past month due to the Scout leader having an family emergency. They start back up this week, I think. Marcello had an stomach virus that caused him to have a really bad rash for several days and an upset tummy. I am thankful I didn't get it. So for a week I had to stay home and moderator him. I get bad cabin fever if I stay at home too much. And Ralph has been busy with work and helping me try and keep the house under control. My pregnancy has been going good, no problems so far. I am now a day off from 37 weeks. My next appt. is Monday and I am already schedule for my C-Section Nov. 14th. OOO I forgot to mention We had a family photo shoot done and my Prego photos done. Once I get them I will post them on here. I need a new main photo for my Blog page.

I cant get over how time fly, its almost Halloween. The rest of the week for us is going to be busy. Seb has: singing until 4pm today: Cub Scouts tomorrow night: Friday is going to be a crazy day, housing Appt. and Seb was invited to a trick or treating party: Sat is the festival on base: and Sunday my Friends and I are trying to go to Taominia for lunch. This is a typical week for us, very busy. On top of that I go to a bible study group on Tuesdays , so I'm gone most of that day and Marcello goes to there daycare. My days are very busy, and I never feel like I get enough done. I really do need to learn a new healthy routine.

Lately I have had slow starts due to me feeling very tired. I am still working on a few projects around the house, trying to get things organized. Once I finish each one, they stay that way and it feels good to have things in order. Seb has been working very hard on keeping his room in order. I am proud of him, he puts his clothes away, and now keeps his toys the way I separated them, he makes his bed every morning before school also. Seb also helps me clean up Marcello's toys downstairs before he goes to bed. He has grown so much, but is still very stubborn in some areas. There are days its impossible to get him to do anything, but he is 7. I am trying to learn new ways to help him control his ADD and to focus better on tasks. We really want to take him off his medications and help him control it. It's very mentally draining working with him on some days.

I really do need to give Ralph more credit lately. He gets up every morning at 6 am, wakes Seb and gets him ready for school, makes his breakfast and lunch. Then runs upstairs and gets himself ready for work. If Marcello wakes up, he gets him and changes his diaper, brings him downstairs and makes him a snack. Then he comes into our room kisses me to get me up and says he needs to leave. I come down and take over and get Seb on his way to the bus stop. I no longer walk him to the bus stop, We have put trust in him to go on his own this year. Ralph then calls me when he is on his way from work and checks to see if he needs to pick anything up for us, knowing some days I cant get out and we might need something for the boys. When he walks into the house he is bulldozed by the boys jumping all over him and the house goes crazy. He then comes into the kitchen and either finishes dinner that I have started or makes us dinner. We sit down as a family for dinner and Marcello sits next to his daddy and he feeds him, well helps him. After dinner he takes Marcello upstairs and gives him a bath, since its hard for me to lean over the tub and bath him and also gets Seb ready for bed. I start to clean up after dinner, then he comes down and finishes while I rest on the couch. I have been finding myself very blessed. Here he is busting his Ass at work all day and then comes home and takes care of us. I feel so guilty when I do whine about how I need him to do a project for me, and look at all he does around here. He does a lot more, and I am very lucky to have a wonderful man in my life. And I need to thank him more for all he does for me and our family.

THANK YOU BABE FOR ALL YOU DO

WE ALL LOVE YOU VERY MUCH
