Alexis dancing and singing


Alexis decided to put on a show for me the other day. It started to get very entertaining so I picked up the camera to record it. She's full of it! And yes that's her swimsuit she's wearing. The straps keep falling off. What a silly girl!

Busy Busy!

We've been pretty busy this week. On Tuesday, I had my wisdom teeth removed. Patrick took yesterday and today off to help with the kids so I could rest. Today, I'm still sore and little swollen but not feeling too bad. Thank goodness for Vicodin.

Patrick is going Thursday for a sleep deprived test. That means he has to stay up all night tonight without the help of caffeine or sugar. Good luck with that but I'm going to bed. Then next week, he's going back to do a week long sleep test. They'll monitor him all day and night to see how he's sleeping and how his vitals differ from when he's awake. We're hoping for some big answers from this test, something to let us know why he doesn't sleep well.

Austin and Alexis got their report cards Tuesday. They both did pretty good. Alexis is starting to read and seems to be coming along pretty well with that. Austin has signed up to be part of the chess club at school. He hasn't found out if he's been accepted yet. They only take 13 kids so we're crossing our fingers and hoping he's one of them. Alexis' class has started practicing for a play they're putting on in a couple months. Its called Bugz and Alexis is going to be a ladybug. We have to come up with a costume and everything. So exciting!

Avery is busy, busy! We've had to purchase 2 gates to keep him in the living room. If we forget to put the gates up, he's into the kitchen or climbing up stairs. He also likes to empty the movies out of the movie cabinet. Unfortunately, there's not a way to lock the cabinet so we're constantly picking up movies. Also, he's started walking around furniture and will walk across the room if you hold his hands. I think his first steps are coming soon.
