Finally I am updating this blog, it’s been a while! Quite a bit has happened, so I’m not sure where to start. First of all, we finally submitted all the paperwork for the house loan and still have not heard back from the bank, so we are taking it as a good sign, since they told us that they would call if something was not signed right. Our closing date is December 23 and it is the date we plan on moving in. Cutting extremely close to Christmas, but I think we can pull it off, as long as the kid’s rooms are somewhat set up and no boxes in the living room, we will be good to go. But what this move means is that this year we are not going to decorate the house with all the Christmas stuff- makes me a bit sad, but saves extra packing in the long run. Other people will be putting up Christmas decorations after Thanksgiving, while we are going to start packing stuff up.
Also Aaron has his date when he is officially not in the US Army anymore- February 1st, 2010. It is a little bitter sweet for me, since Army does give stability and certainty financially what is quite important in this days economy. But it also takes away so much family time and the stress that comes with deployments is something I do not want to deal with anymore. So we are excited about what the future will bring and are happy to say farewell to the Army.
The boys are doing amazing also. Ethan is a little goober as always, his football season is over and he did amazing this year, he was the smallest and slowest on the team, but never once did he give up or complain about a thing. As always he doing great in school too. One thing he is having trouble with is determining difference between fact and opinion, he got a 0 on a test in it!!!!! But he is a little man who thinks with his heart and if he thinks that something should be the way he thinks it should be than that is a FACT for him. He is just too funny! Also he is absolutely camera shy these days, the minute I pull out the camera, Ethan is gone! And if I do force him to sit down and let me take a picture, he will not smile for nothing, even with bribing his facial expressions are just silly. So no pictures of Ethan….
And Jackson is a whole other story too. In this time he has managed not only to be a pro at crawling, but also a pro at climbing and standing up. The little monkey loves to stand up so much, that he uses anything to help him up- if it’s more than inch off of ground, he will manage to use that as support and get himself up. He definitely keeps me busy and moving non-stop, because no matter how much child- proofing has been done, he still manages to find something to get in trouble with. Also I took him to doctors just to check out his ears(they were fine) and the doc noticed that he was a little yellow, what I hadn’t noticed at all, but also I see him 24/7. So we’ve done some blood tests and gotten an ultrasound done, what has ruled out all the serous concerns of what could be wrong. But some of his enzymes are sill high and not quite normal, so we are waiting to get an specialty appointment. I did talk to my mom about it today and finds out my sister has a condition similar to what is going on with Jackson, so maybe he will end up having the same issue. My poor little yellow man!
Hopefully I can get back on track with blogging from now on, LOL
