Pictures and a short update
So we finally got our proofs back and they are adorable. So many family members say Grace looks just like me! It is kinda crazy but she does! Chloe was such a model she even in one picture she is sticking out her bottom and had her hands on her hips. Not sure who she gets that from! I am so excited to order but think that it will be so difficult. Anyways, enough about pictures, a little about what is happening in our neck of the woods!
Dave is having his staff appreciation at work and worked very hard on the slide show and I was pretty impressed with what a great job he did! I usually don't get to see what he does except for hear about it so seeing the pictures really helped give me an idea. I think that both he and I are ready for a little break from work, and will soon get it when we visit his family this weekend for his Thanksgiving family dinner. It will be nice to be away but will definitely just like sometime at home not doing anything (those are his words more than mine).
Grace is loving preschool. I think she is becoming more of a drama queen day by day. She has a friend who she just adores and talks about all the time. She even makes her pictures and gets pictures from her. She came home on Monday and was very upset because she wasn't able to play with her. She said this was because "she got a new best friend, a boy." Of course the mommy in me and teacher in me asked if she did something to her. She said she didn't, and then Dave and I had to go into a long list of how she can have more than one friend. She did tell me though the boy told her she couldn't play because there wasn't enough room. Which makes me sad for her but she makes me laugh because today I came home and asked her if she had a good day. Grace's response: "yes mom! ___'s friend was gone today so I got her all to myself!" Yes as you can see Grace obviously didn't get that she can play with more than one friend and didn't even get our talk! Oh my what will the high school days bring us!!!!
Chloe well Chloe what should I tell. She is definitely getting this talking thing down. Her new favorite phrase: "O Hey! I can do it!" "O Hey" is actually Okay! Oh my how many times I hear it! She is picking up so many things that Grace is doing. Such as we were working on a letter to Santa and Grace was asking how to spell things (yes and writing them down--she is learning so much), and Chloe of course trying to make the letters too! She almost has her name, only missing her h and l, definitely has her c o and e which is about the only things she remembers when she is spelling it! I think she will definitely have it soon!
I have 28 wonderful kids in my class and just found out that I get another student back and will lose one for he is moving away again. This brings both a bunch of fears and joys. It is truly a wonder how I make it some days meeting with them and being able to build more of a relationship. I also feel at times I don't get as much as I really want too (one on one time that is) with them. I thank God I just get to go to work and be able to enjoy something I love.
I have a friend who seemed to drift away and lose touch with me, but has happen to drift back into my life. However, she was pregnant with twins. She went into labor at 24 weeks and had them a week ago. They are doing well but of course any prayers are always needed. I am shocked at how people come into your life when things are needed, and I can lend a little even if it is a prayer or two. :)
My mom was put into the nursing home about a month ago (after a week in the hospital). It kills me but the girls more than me to not be able to see her at home. She however gets to come home next month but holy wow! Chloe and Grace has to call her every night to say they love her and tell her what she missed at their house (papa and nene's). She was put in there because she got pneumonia and more water around her heart (her congestive heart failure acting out again). She is still gaining and losing weight like crazy which is what they are working on managing. She was currently diagnosed with Parkinson. It's scary how much you get as age comes upon you. I am amazed at how well my dad is taking everything and still makes sure to tell my mom to be strong and she'll be home soon. She does get to come home on her birthday, Thanksgiving, and spend the day at home. She will be excited to have her surprised birthday party! Yay!
Wow, feels like I wrote a book! But as time passes you forget to stop and write it down. I like to think that it's the little things that happen that makes it a day to smile upon! I loved to share those little smiles with you today!
