I am not sure where the time is going! I have been months behind on my blog! I know it is awful -apparently three kids is kicking my trash more than I thought. You don't even want to start look around my house it is a disaster! Tim is off work for three more days and I am hoping to have sometime to go through and start de-junking before Christmas comes. Ok -the house really isn't bad but the garage is full of stuff that I have never seen since we moved here which means it needs to go! We still have jackets out for fall weather and it is getting very cold, storage room is full of something, and our house is over flowing with toys! Seriously, and these kids want more toys! I should just wrap up the things they never play with and say surprise :) They probably wouldn't even know. There is a reason my house is a mess -thing one and thing two! Literally they truly remind me of thing one and thing two from the cat in the hat. The problem is I do not actually have a cat in the hat to clean up after them. Aaron is in the dumping stage, and Ian completely forgets any of the house rules if friends are over. Every now and then things slow down and moment like this happen. Can you tell we are all still mesmerized by her! Even the dog :) I think she is a little fond of us too.
So what's been happening? I could not even tell you. Life! It has warmed up a bit in November and we enjoyed riding bikes to take Ian to school. While Ava doesn't look like she enjoyed it (top left) she really did! Ian and Gunner have become the best of friends and get along so well!
Ava is still as happy and chatty as ever!
Lately on our bike rides home both Aaron and Ava crash! Hopefully it stays warm for a little while so we can enjoy a few more family bike rides.
Ava has really been laughing out loud! There is no better sound than a baby laughing! Yes, that boys are arguing in the background. We are trying to teach them table manners. If you get down from the table it means you are finished and since you were not excused you do not get any dessert. It has mostly provided ammo for more arguing but they seems to be slowly getting the point.
We have been loving the new waffle maker that Papa got for the boys! They do love waffles!
Some pictures of fun times throughout the week.
November has also been the time for colds. I started it out with an awful UTI that we were sure was a kidney infection. After three bags of IV fluids I was still crazy dehydrated. Thankfully after some more IV fluids from home (thanks to Tim) and an antibiotic (which made baby fussy) I was back to myself. A couple weeks later Ian had a really bad asthma attack. The next morning he was great and headed to school. After school he came home ate four slices of pizza and laid down on the couch since he was tired. He fell right asleep which is not normal so we knew something was up. Sure enough he woke up with an even worse attack. Tim rushed him into the hospital where they gave him steroids since he upper airway was so swollen. Turns out he had strep throat! Yes, the boy that had just downed four slices of pizza?! Who knew. About a week later this little cutie got her first cold :( It was awful! Thankfully it wasn't strep (it is very very rare for babies to catch strep) but it was still a nasty cold. She too had to have a steroid shot because she could hardly breathe. Thankfully daddy pulled out this new toy (new to Ava) and she was a happy girl!
It is about mid-November now and we are all feeling great! So great that we even pulled out the Chrstimas pajamas for Ava! Shhhh don't tell Tim ;) We are all hoping that is our sickness for the winter season and that we are done and will remain healthy! Fingers crossed
Here are a couple videos of Ava laughing! Please ignore me-it is hard to video all three kids while holding the baby. Not to mention making sure you actually get them in the picture, and that the two boys don't kill each other ;)
