Well we are working on our walking!! We are finally taking one step and sometimes two!!! Yeah for us! He's able to stand up by himself now with out holding on. he is playing the stand up and squat down game. over and over and over again!!! It is so much fun!

Hopefully, the one and two steps become much more than that. The smile on his face when we clap and say good job is just priceless!!!!

(yes, i know, a mastercard commercial) Oh well, sometimes I sappy!!!

We also had spagetti for the first time together! And then we had it two days later at my mom's house. He really knew what to do with it then. This pix is the first time at home, as for at mom's add about 3 more gallons of red sauce to his hands, face, and cheeks. :-)

This was our first Halloween together. We did have so much Fun!!!!! Yes, that is with a Capitol F for Fun!!

I almost forgot!! We had a great evening trick or treating. The kids were so cute!! I will get photos on here soon. X was Frankensteit, O was Batman, E was army ranger, A was scary zombie, and C was beautiful Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Of course, if you asked her she said she wasn't Belle she was "sleepin booty"!!!!! It was such a fun night.

We watched the parade and walked thru town and to the grandparents houses. They kids had a blast. We were of course stopped and asked if these were all our kids. We loudly and proudly said YES!!!

We are so happy right now. The kids love their new baby brother, C fights with me over who gets to be Mom, A will sit on the couch with him watching Naruto (yeah, don't ask) O still likes to make him laugh as much as possible.

It's fun!!!

Just some updates

Everything is going well. X's is proving to be a very special little boy. He is very happy and smiley and loves to giggle. We had our first cold- a fever for 4 days and then a lovely rash. A quick trip to the doctor and voila - roseola. I despise that. The other kids have had it many times. Basically, they are sick without being sick. A virus. So there are no medicine for that and once the rash appears then all symptoms are gone within 2 days.

That's over with and now we have a cold. There were 2 days btw the rash and the booger nose/cough. Ah, such a nice set of days. Really.

We also had our first dr's appt this week. The Dr. is worried about his legs and his not walking. We meet again in 1 month but we will probably need to start some physical therapy to get those legs working the way they should.

I have been trying to get caught up in school. I have had papers and tests like you wouldn't imagine and all I want to do is sleep. I am so tired that it is becoming really hard for me to put much effort into my schoolwork. I will though and there's only a few more weeks.

That's it for today. It would be nice and someone actually talked back to me on here. That could make this more fun. I'm just saying.

Also, if there are any mispelled words on here...........well too bad. I'm usually pretty particular about it but I'm lucky to be coherent at this point. Take it or leave it.

Love ya!

OH, just so its out there. We are still looking to adopt again. We would like to add atleast one more to our crazy bunch. We do not know when or where. But be prepared.

Majority rules!!!

Love ya bunches.

Yep! For those of you new to the family brigade, if you count heads, that really is 5 heads that you see. Your eyes are not deceiving you in any way. We love every single minute of it too!!!

We get so many comments..."wow, 5, you must be a saint," "why are you not crazy?" "you must be very organized" "why???" (that one is my fave)

there are SSSSOOOOOOOOO many other comments that we have to deal with about the size of our family. Not all of them are bad in any way. But, I think its funny that after hearing so many people comment on the number of kids in our family that E is now already answering strangers' comments with something like, "yep, 5. We're a BIG family with lots of kids. It's alot and yes we're crazy!"

How can I beat that???
