Where did my child learn that word...oh yeah...from me.

So, I'm gonna try and be better about blogging. I always say that. I knew it had been a while since I blogged, but three months! Wow! Life with two kids has been a rollercoaster, but I've learned so much and I realize now that I wouldn't trade one minute of the last 3yrs and 9 months for the world. I may have been a little crazy at times, but this time has made me a stronger mother, wife, and christian. Now, someone remind me of this later, when I'm going ballistic over Little People and Batman co-exsisting in the same storage container(Anyone else believe as firmly as I do, that this throws off the natural chemistry of the toy box?). But I'm grateful for my life experiences so far.
I'm starting a new bible study this Wednesday. It's by Beth Moore, and is based on the book of Esther. I never realized God is not once mentioned in the book of Esther. Although He isn't mentioned by name; God's grace, love, and POWER are shown throughout the story. I'm so ready to dive into this study! Also, Justin REALLY wanted to start the Financial Freedom University by Dave Ramsey. The class costs $90... a class on financial freedom costs $90... Anyway I'll be doing that to. I'm praying God will open my heart and mind to what HE wants me to learn. I'm really bad about not doing the homework for these classes. Don't get me wrong, I love doing the studies, and I love that I am always closer to God and His will for me, but I have trouble with making time for everything that the study requires. I'll give you my reveiw on both studies later. I feel like I'm boring, so i'll move on.
Adeline is almost six months. *sigh* She is getting so big! Addy ate her first meal with solid food yesterday! Rice Cereal with apples... she wasn't really impressed. I shouldn't really say she ATE the food. We were allowed to spoon food into her mouth while she did anything and everything to eject her food onto her clothes. She seemed quite pleased with herself.
Coen has started mimicking everything we do and say. We have to be extremely careful about what we say, do, and watch on tv. Yeah, I came home the other night and the tv was on King of the Hill. Cartoon network had switched to adult scheduling. And no, I don't allow Coen to watch cartoon network, but he knows how to change the channel, and takes advantage of that on occasion. I've restricted his tv time drasticly. He can watch about an hour in the morning, and then the tv stays off until he's in bed. But like I said he takes advantage of his tv skills occassionally. But,yeah, he repeats the most random thing! Okay this is TMI but i had mentioned the word diarrhea a few days ago, and yesterday Coen had shut himself in the closet and was quietly saying to himself:"Oh, I have diarrhea. Yep!...ect."
He is such a little boy though! Oh! The attitude has arrived. He will casually tell me no, or IGNORE ME! I can not stand it when he just choses not to respond to a question or request(which really was not a request at all). I have difficulty having patience with my 3 year old. Trust me, he tries my patience on a regular basis.
So, Justin is giving me weird looks. He thinks I'm talking about him. Well all I have to say is, he is a sweet husband and father! I woke up 5am on Friday with a stomach virus, and felt like I was dying for about 12 hours, before I started to feel human again. Yes,this is where Coen got his d word. All day Friday, Justin took care of the kids for me, and let me sleep. I am very grateful! I don't know how I would've handle Coen and Adeline... I don't even want to imagine!
