We spent February and March running to Upward Basketball and Cheerleading for Foster and Katie. They had a really great time but EVERY game was at 8am on Saturday, that’s just not right. With Theodore and Parker and the cold weather it wasn’t very fun getting there but watching them play and cheer was well worth it.

Katie was intimidated at first but warmed up by the end of the season. She finally started using her REAL voice by the last couple of games!

Theodore is still a wild man but is much better behaved than he was just 6 monthes ago. His vocabulary is still very limited but he understands complex directions and can use signs and other means of communication to get us to understand what he wants or needs.

Parker is 8 1/2 monthes old now. He’s still a sweet, happy little baby. He’s almost sitting up unassisted. He would roll all over the house if we let him. I don’t know if he’ll crawl or just roll his way around until he starts walking.

And then on March 22nd, Chris and I celebrated our 8th anniversary. Well, we actually are going to celebrate this weekend with a short, no kids allowed trip. (Thanks to Grammy and Grandad for the free babysitting!)

So hopefully, now that I am up to date I will keep posting regularly. Although, much of my hindrance is time, honestly a lot of it is frustration at not knowing how to upload pics and put in links and all that cool stuff that Sarah and my other friends can do on their blogs. But I am doing my best to learn…that’s what I always ask my kids to do – “just do the best you can”. I wish I could be that easy on myself in all areas of life.

And for all the stressing out that I do about how to be a better wife, mother, homeschool teacher, etc. I really just need to be focused on how to “Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 3:18 If I did that, when I do that, God gets all the pieces in the right place for me.

I hope all my blog friends and family are doing well. And if anyone can tell me how to get my picture to upload that would be great… (=
