Another Update.

Well, My mom came down this weekend with Bobby for Thanksgiving dinner. We had so much fun. The kids had a blast and were so happy to see their Na Na and Daddy Bob. Saturday we celebrated Garrett's 5th Birthday. He won't be turning 5 until Dec. 2nd, but mom won't be here and I'm not planning on going home for Thanksgiving. I was actually going to drive up on Tuesday and spend Turkey day with my Dad...but Kids are really sick right now. Garrett had a fever all day on Saturday and Morgan can't get rid of her cough. Early last week she was running 103 fever and now has a cough. Both my kiddos have asthma and bad allergies which triggers their asthma episodes. Garrett take breathing treatments and Morgan has her puffer. Both are on Singular daily at night. I really feel for them. San Antonio is not a good place for people with allergies. I just hope they get through this allergy season pretty quick. We are low on tissues again! ugg.. :)
Garrett is playing basketball for a team here in Schertz. He had his first practice last friday. He is so cute. He has never ever played with other boys..only mom and Dad and Pop Pop and Na Na...he had some issues with dribbling the ball. He would take it and run. I wish I had a video cam. I think the coach was getting annoyed but I don't really care. He was having so much fun. Na Na got him a Basketball goal and a basketball to practice with. Morgan well...she did okay at the practice for about the first 30 mins. Then she was ready to leave and let the whole gym know about it. Why oh Why did God bless me with such a independent child. I love her...but she really tests my patience on a daily basis. I have read all kinds of books to keep my sanity. Other than the daily tantrums and the bossiness and the yelling at her brother...she is very very bright. She recogonizes her colors, and letters and numbers up to 10. She hasn't even turned 3 yet. I am so proud of her. She is slowly learning to play Candy Land. She still forgets that you have to go to the next color...not all over the board...but hey...at least she's getting on the right color right? It frustrates Garrett so much when she doesn't play by the rules. It is so funny. Garrett is so by the book. He tries so hard to be perfect. I have to tell him that it is okay to let things slide from time to time. I worry about him. But, I know what it is like to be the oldest. He plays well with Morgan when he wants to play with her. The older he gets the better he gets. He still is so impulsive and emotional. I hope that is because of his age still. But, sometimes he gets so upset when things don't go the way he expects them to.
Well, Dad is still in Bagram. He is suppose to be there until April. And maybe even longer...maybe even until July or back to Quwait..who knows. We miss him. Also, we just had our house painted. It looks awesome. I'm so impressed with my color choice and the outside color choice I made. Next, we are going to landscape our front yard. Last year we did the back yard. I am really enjoying living here in Schertz. I wasn't crazy about the SA school district but Schertz seems to be okay. I'm also looking at maybe putting Garrett in a private school. We have a Catholic private school right next to our house that I've looked into.
He was in a Christian private school for Pre-school for 2 years and really exceled. When I switched jobs, I had to put him in a regular day care that has not Christian teaching and I am very disappointed in my decesion. I'm looking for another Christian school close by to move him to. He had no behavior problems at that other school and I think it was because they incorporated the teachings of God into the curriculm. I guess this is why I'm worried about public school. Well...
I would love to get anyone's suggestion on this...I don't think anyone even reads this any more. Well, have a Great Turkey day!!!

Update

Well, I know it's been a long time since I posted. My life is crazy and well I just don't have time to sit on here and post every day or every other day. I'm also have a MYspace that I keep more current pictures on. But, again, I don't update the blog portion on there. We have been so busy. Kirtus is gone again and well...we are busy doing home type stuff. I'm painting the house...or having the house painted and then more Landscaping and then gutters are going to be put up. I took a bunch of clothes to the consignment store about a month ago and sold the baby bed. I feel so much better. I'm about to donate a ton of my old clothes to the Goodwill in our neighborhood. We did the toys thing already. Making room for X-mas. I'm going to purchase some new furniture very very soon. I'm thinking I need to put up my X-mas tree before Thanksgiving. I know I know...it's too early...but I want to have it up for two months instead of 1. We went to NASA before Kirtus left. Here are some recent pics of the kids. No one really reads this anyway...but incase you do. Here you go.
I probably won't be posting for a long time again...so Have a great Thanksgiving and a wonderful Christmas and New years.
