Well, all is well in the Anderson household :) Boys are getting huge...everyday! I made the boys' specialist appointments for March. I'm sure as the date nears I'll be more and more nervous, but right now, I have no worries. All 3 boys are doing great.
Thomas has gone from the lowest reading level in 2nd grade to the highest reading level in 3rd grade. His teacher told me he has some of the best manners as well (YUP, I'M PRETTY PROUD OF MY BIG BOY). He will also start basketball in January...he does his basketball evaluation in November :)
Samuel has started potty training and is doing pretty good. He is definately not 100% ready, but he's super close. Our mornings seem to go great, and by nap time and through the afternoon he seems to be bored with it, but is still open to trying :)
Jonathan is being a stinker butt. He wants to wear pullups and try to go potty, but we have a no go. At least he wants to sit on the potty and try :) It's a start :) He is also a sports freak. Anytime there is a baseball game or football game on tv, he goes and grabs his appropriate attire, whether it be a football and helmet or a baseball and glove.
Drew said the other day, when he was home with the babies, Samuel had the bat and Jonathan had the baseball and glove. J would pitch, kind of, and S would stand there waiting to hit...in the mean time they would get angry with each other, cuz J wouldn't through the ball straight and S wouldn't hit the ball...Wished I was there to see it :)
Well, as I'm sure you know, I love to talk about the boys and take their pictures. We kinda like them :)
As for Drew and I, we are doing great. We have finally taken that huge step and hired someone to babysit once a month for us. It is our daycare ladies daughter. The boys adore her! Drew and I had our first outting last week on his birthday and went out to supper to this nice mexican bistro (very Americanized food), beautiful ambiance, and was so nice to have a hot meal and an actual conversation, without getting interrupted, cutting food, telling the boys to sit down, etc. Granted, we did talk about the boys the whole night it seemed. In other words, we will be doing this again. I think it's good to "date" your hubby, even when married :)
Well, that's the life of us :) Living in Sioux City Iowa, ready to buy a house, hopefully in the spring (not in a huge hurry, but yet again, kind of are...lol). We are good though. Nice to feel like we are "normal". This last year has been better for us, with no huge surgeries, no huge trips to the hospital, less sickness, and just being us.
