4 months

So, Mr. Ramsey went to the doctor on Monday for his 4 month check-up. The little porker weighs in at 20 lbs 4 oz. He is in the 100% ile for weight, 90th % for head circumference and 50th % for his height! So that means he is short and chubby! Just the way we like little babies! He continues to be a shining star. His smiles are contagious! We are thankful for his health and personality!

Here are the rules as per Jennifer K:
1.Post the rules on your blog
2.Write 6 random things about yourself
3.Tag 6 people at the end of your post
4.If you are tagged, just do it, and pass the tag along!

1. I am a terrible housekeeper (cleaner)! My husband would agree! It is just not a high priority of mine!!

2. I too think about going back to school, sometimes I get minor burnout working with the same kids everyday for 4 years at a time!

3. It is hard to believe my baby is 6 years old. I look at her and who she is becoming and it brings tears to my eyes. Where did my spunky baby girl go? Watching her learn to read, add and subtract and develop friendships is amazing beyond words. Man alive do I love my children!

4. I wish I could hire someone to come in and re-decorate my house from top to bottom.

5. I have not been out with my husband on a date since before Ramsey was born which was in June... I can remember pumping in every bathroom in the surrounding counties with both girls...however I have not even bought batteries for my pump yet because the possibility of going out is so slim! Isn't that sad?? That also means no "real" alone mom time!!

6. Fall makes me think of putting my horse Belle to sleep. It has been about 5 years since she died, and it is crazy to me how much I still think about her. I wish the girls' father would allow them to get a horse so they could develop the love for an animal other than a dog! :)

I tag Becky, Tammy, Jamie... and ??

Memories

Well, after spending MEA weekend in the cities with Tan Tan an Habte (Grethe and Habtamu)... Kalleigh's cough is still not better... so we are spending the day at home... only we are not home...?? The "guy" who is installing our gas insert for our fireplace is at our house today and Weston thought it was best that we vacate the house...So we are at Mom's hanging out.

I thought I would take a walk down memory lane and check out what she has on her computer for pictures of the girls... ENJOY!

Mixed up pictures

Not sure how it happened, but I tried to change the background on the blog, and it mixed up all of our pictures..... so if you want to see the pictures I posted, you will have to scroll down... Sorry!!

Family Routines

Of recently, our family time has consisted of routine and routine. Nothing exciting to report. Lots of time has been spent playing babies, coloring at the kitchen table, playing with play-doh, spending time outside. No matter what the daily activities entail, the girls usually end up in the bathtub, making original creations with bathtub crayons, drawing on the walls with shaving cream, splashing, giggling and having fun. After the bath comes story time. Kalleigh has grown into quite the little reader. She is so into the DICK and JANE books. They are her favorites to read right now. Kalleigh has spent a lot of time recently attending bday parties for her friends. The last 2 Friday nights, she has been out and about. Swimming at the Y, pizza parties and bowling. Ah, to be young again!!
Abigail is enjoying school. This week she has the MYSTERY BOX. When Kalleigh had the sharing tin for school, she put a bird nest and 2 snake skins in the box. I am sure her teacher was impressed!! It will be interesting to see what Abigail will choose to be her mystery item...

Ramsey continues to grow like a weed. He has started to laugh at the girls when they tickle him. Just this week he has decided that he LOVES his voice. Two mornings I have woken up to him singing in his bed. The girls NEVER did that. They always awoke in tears ready to eat, be held or changed. Ramsey is calm...and such a little honey to be around. Sometimes it seems like things are too good to be true! The girls are wild and happy, Ramsey is content and continues to grow, and after 8 years, Weston and I continue to love eachother!! After being voted the oddest couple in high school who would have guessed??!
