Life is good.

Ahhh. The kids are in bed. The dishes are done. I am about to watch a Monk episode from Netflix. Life is so good.

I just wanted to update y'all on what we're doing. Maybe you don't care, and that's okay. But in case you do, here's what we're up to:

Jonathan: Jonathan just found out that he passed a big test and he's really happy. I'm happy for him. He takes so many tests that I can't keep them all straight. This last test cost more than our house payment and he had to fly to PA to take it. He takes his third year medical boards in two weeks. He studies for it every night. I know he'll do great.

Chrissy: I am just getting over a little cold. It's weird to think that you can get a cold when it's 116 degrees outside. Weird, but true. I love being a mom. But sometimes I get bored and I go to the library looking for some good books. I love books, they have always been my friends. At night, I read while Jonathan studies. I definitely got the better deal.

Sami: Samantha is my little fireball. Always ready to play and sing and saying new words all the time. She also loves to read and really enjoys helping me bake in the kitchen. She also loves to play in the kitchen sink which really helps me when I need those little helping hands out of the way. She has great manners and says "peas" (please) and some form of "thank you" all of the time. She also loves to pick up with the hope of a "teat" (treat), her favorite treat is chocolate chips. The treats seem to be paying off because a few weeks ago in nursery she followed all the kids and picked up their books. I love that.


Janie: Jane's favorite thing is drinking water from a cup. Nice, cheap thrills. She loves rolling all around the floor and nothing makes her happier than when big sister comes around. She is still taking great naps (yippee!) but sleeps on her side so her head is not so flat anymore :). She is teething and drools like crazy. She has the cutest little giggle.
