Already May!

Ryan's brother's family bird...Drew absolutely loves it!

Yes, it has been crazy here in our house and very stressful. I hope to never have to sell another house again for a very long time. This past week was a time of reflection for me also. With all the stress and anxiety in selling, I feel like I haven't been the best mom and that makes me sad. Everything happens for a reason and I just have to keep telling myself that. As a friend told me today, timing is everything and it is not always the timing we want but when you look back you will understand why things happened the way they did. Thank you for those comments, you know who you are. I needed that reminder!

Drew saying cheese..he's so fast I have a hard time getting good pics!

ANYWAYS, my kids are growing up so fast, I can't believe it. I am just so grateful to be home with them and not having to work. I had to go back to work with Drew when he was 2 months and it was nice having to enjoy Kylee all to myself..no offense Amy (Drew's babysitter/2nd Mom while I was working). Drew is a little rascal but oh life would be so boring without him. He is so excited it is hot, I think the only one in our house who is excited for these 100 degree days, because he loves playing in the water. I am going to take him to the splash pad next week. He loves to take a nap (3 hours if I let him) but it is getting him into his room and falling asleep that is tricky. One day he pulled off everything on his bookshelf and was laying inside on the top shelf. Little stinker! I was too mad to take a picture. He loves to talk and says all kinds of phrases. Like this morning, there was a fly in the kitchen and he says, "Shoo Fly!" Where the heck did he learn that. He is completely potty trained and loves sitting on the toilet. We just need to work on his picky eating habits but he is getting better. I will post more pics of him later this weekend. He's a hard one to capture on camera, as you can tell.

Ready for bed...with a cute smile!

Kylee finally got her breathing treatments...YEAH! I have been trying since her 6 month appointment but the doctor has to hear her wheeze and her wheeze went away 2 days before her appointment. How annoying. She got 2 more colds but no wheeze. I was crossing my fingers hoping maybe the colds were slowly going away, no. She got a real nasty one 2 weeks ago. I got her into the doctor and she had tons of mucus in her lungs. She is doing so much better but still has a little cold. I might have to take her in again next week, we'll have to see. This time she will get a chest x-ray! We keep praying for her immune system to finally start kicking in. But she is still a happy smiling little girl. She has 1 tooth now with a second one probably breaking through tonight. She finally can handle fruit and can scoot! She loves to roll more than scoot so we'll see how long it takes for her to crawl. She's in no hurry. What a blessing it is to be a mom! It is hard work and I am sleep deprived but I wouldn't trade my job for anything.
