Updates

We were *ahem* a little busy this weekend ;)


Which leads me to my list of updates:


1) We are trying for Baby #5 this month!! With our very rigid schedules (teaching and tax prep) we are trying to plan for the perfect timing. Of course, God's timing is best, so we'll see what happens.
2) Maggie's first backpack will be:

It will have Maggie embroidered on the front.

Thanks to Nana (Phil's mom) for keeping up the tradition of buying each of our children their first L.L.Bean backpack!

3) Eamon had his speech therapy evaluation and they think he does need a little work with his R's. His language skills are a year ahead of his age, so they are not worried about that, we just want to work on his (oh-so-cute) speech issues while he is young.

4) Comments - I am leaving them on for now. I really appreciate everybody's advice and I agree that they should be used as a way to form relationships, and I shouldn't take anything too personally. I'm working on it :)

5) My friend, Laura (and mom to Maggie's best friend, Robby) is 2 days past her due date...keep her in your prayers!

Now it's time to go read what's going on in your lives. (My favorite part of the morning!)

  10. Love the backpack for Maggie! How are boys easier???? I swear my house is a zoo!!! They are loud, have endless energy and people keep telling me how much they are going to smell when they hit puberty!!! I love them to death but man are they a lot of work!! We joined Healthtrax in N. Dartmouth. Loving it so far.
