Well, better late than never, I say. It appears, as always, time has gotten away from me. It has been almost 5 months since my last post and I must say, much has changed.
We'll start with Raegan. She is now walking, no, I should say, running on her own. She started out hesitantly, but is now at full speed with Amelia, the almost 3 year old I watch. Rae also has a mouth full of teeth; at my last count (when I can get my finger in her mouth to check), she had 11 teeth! She is still a good eater, and her favorite food would have to be apples, which she can now say. She has somewhere around 2 dozen words between sign language and words that I can figure out, it amazes me every day how quickly she picks things up. I think it helps having Amelia around as an example, whether that's good or bad, I've still yet to figure out! The latest thing that I am loving is she will do the motions to The Wheel on the Bus and Twinkle Twinkle when I sing them with her at group time; it makes me smile so much at how smart she is!
On to me, Jenn. I am now watching a third little girl; yes, all girls and for now, I am thankful, cause a houseful of boys would not be as quiet as my house can be some times. I thoroughly enjoyed the spring and summer months that Were spent outside with the girls. We enjoyed walks to the park, swimming in our baby pool, running through the sprinkler, and so much more. I am getting slightly depressed with the weather we've had in the last week...rain and cold; not something I'm looking forward to, but I'm sure we'll get through. Other than that, I'm back singing every week, or as often as I can. I enjoy singing and do miss it over the summer.
Mike is, of course, back in school. Cross country season is halfway over. It seems his team is doing well, as he talks about them all the time. It's great to know he's passionate about it! I am however, looking forward to when the season is over, cause then Rae and I get our guy back! Beside cc, he is also the new yearbook teacher. This, hopefully, will keep him going through the year.
Our summer was spent with family, friends and most importantly, each other. Mike and I got to have a week to ourselves in Disney World while Rae got to stay at my parents house. We most certainly enjoyed ourselves, even if It was hotter than the sun! I think Rae had fun too! Our next trip will be in a week to Wisconsin Dells, for our annual family trip. I am so looking forward to it as it will be my first days off since Disney...much needed! I will try to get some pictures updated and to keep up with posting.
