I don't really have any sort of news on the baby-making front. I feel like we are at a standstill and now my body just isn't wanting to cooperate this month. I'm trying not to stress over it and and just let it go. Easier said than done, for sure. But I just wanted to write today and talk about the children I do have. The ones I can hug and kiss anytime I want (well at least most of the time).
My step-daughter, Lexie, has been with us all week this week. It's amazing the feeling I get knowing our whole family is together for a whole week. Complete. That's the best word to describe it. And I love it. She's about to finish up 3rd grade this year and will enter into 4th in the Fall. I can't believe she is 9-years old (eek!). She gets smarter and smarter every day. Math gives her a hard time and sometimes spelling does as well but she's overcoming them both slowly and doing amazing in school now. I couldn't be more proud. I wish we had more time with this girl. She seems to flourish when she's at our house and I love that. She's growing so fast and her dad and I know we will have to start fighting boys off much too soon. She's already such a beautiful girl. I dread the day when a boy comes to pick her up. Not so much for Lexie, but for the boy that is coming to get her. =)
And Ethan, what do I say about him? He challenges me daily. In many ways. Some days I find myself yelling at him one minute because he's driving me up the wall but the next minute, he's turning around and hugging me. He's so cuddly and affectionate. I guess as cuddly and affectionate as a 6-year old little boy can be but goodness...he's my snuggle bug. And yes, Bug is what I call him. And he answers to it. I've been calling him that since before he was born I think. He's rounding out his year in kindergarten and I'm amazed at the things he has learned and accomplished this year. He's one smart cookie! Sometimes I think he might be a little too smart but I'll take it. I'm pretty hard on him because his behavior can be less than stellar on most occasions but I love him more than I ever thought was possible. Soccer has started back up for the Spring and he's loving it still. He's on an amazing team this season and he's learned so much already from his new coaches. Exciting games to come, I'm sure!
There really isn't too much else going on with me right now. I honestly wanted to just brag about my two kiddos =) Love them both oh so much!
