You're Kidding!

It's almost Thanksgiving! I just can't believe how quickly this year has passed us by! Isn't it just awful? I have a baby who's almost 5 months, a 2 1/2 year old and a 5 year old. Geeze, I'm going to sneeze and I'll have a 32 year old, a 30 year old and a 28 year old. Gag me!

We have really been enjoying all of the Christmas Movies on ABC Family and listening to some beautiful Christmas music! I know it's early for all that stuff, but I'm excited! Hopefully we'll get our tree up this weekend!! Our neighbors have already started putting up their decorations and the girls just adore it!

We are LOVING our new house! If I forget something, I can just swing back by the house and grab it. I'm 5 minutes to two Kroger Stores and 5 minutes to two Publix Stores! Our trash gets picked up every Tuesday Morning. I can run by the post office when I need to! Maddy's school is 8 minutes down the road, Church is 8 minutes down the road. Mama and Daddy are 8 minutes away, My mother-in-law and father-in-law and also sister-in-law and brother-in-law are 15 minutes away. It's just wonderful!! Just wonderful!!

We will be submitting applications for the magnent schools here in Murfreesboro for Maddy soon. The testing will begin in January, I believe. There are two elementary schools here, we are 99% sure she'll get into at least one (one takes city kids first and the other takes county kids first, since we live in the city, we aren't sure we'll make the county school's list). We are excited for Madelyn, we know no matter which school she gets into, she's going to enjoy the snot out of it!!

It has really hit me how big Izzy is getting. She is talking so clearly and is SO funny! She loves to make us laugh, she's so super silly!! But she's a mess, she keeps us on our toes, but she's getting so big. Her hair is getting longer and her face is loosing the baby shape. Why do they have to grow up so fast!?!?

Baby Katy is doing amazing. She has a cough, and she has for a couple of weeks. But it seems to be clearing up. The peditrician has assured us it wasn't croup, that it was probably just the way her allergies were manafesting themselves. So, hopefully, we will get her 110% again. She's so cute!

That's all I've got for now!

Maddy and Katy uptdate

I know, I'm a bad blogger! Life has been extremely wonderful but very busy!! We moved into our new house, which we just LOVE, but we are still not unpacked! We all started school, which is going well, and we are loving life and feeling very blessed!!

Maddy had her 5 year old appointment today. She weighed in at 43 lbs and is growing great! She is on track to be about 135 lbs and 5'6" or 5'7" as a grown 'woman'!!! So she is going to be super tall and thin! Can we say Super Model?!?! She got two shots and a finger prick and did it all by herself. She was very brave and I am so proud of her!! Not even a tear!! She goes back to the doctor in two years.

Katy also had her check-up today, her 4 month check-up. She is developing great!! Her motor skills are those of a 5-6 month old!! She's doing awesome! She's been given the clear to try fruits and veggies. But I'm not too anxious to start them. We've tried all juices and she HATES juice. She almost gags herself on it. So I'm a little apprehensive with fruits...she might like veggies. But she seems to not like sweets....and you know to think of it, when I was in my first 6 months of her pregnancy, I couldn't eat too many sweets. She got two shots and did awesome!

Izzy also got two shots and did awesome! Just a couple of tears! I'm so proud of my babies!!

Well that's it! We are doing great!!
