Seasons of Love

Well, insomnia is good for one thing... I'm actually posting on here!

So you've noticed my blogging habits are a bit erratic. o well. Sometimes I'm all into it and excited, and others I just don't have the time. Deal! :)

Some interesting news as of late:

Olivia has an imaginary friend. Her name is Erica and she gets in trouble a lot. She's about three inches tall, like Tinkerbell, but no wings. She's on time out a lot for hitting, but she also likes to dance and hang out in the middle of the living room floor - where I stepped on her the other day. I was just walking through the living room when Olivia said "don't step on Erica!!!"

John is SOOOO excited for Christmas. We were looking through a toy magazine this morning and he says "What's that?" (it was some gadget, but before I could answer he continues...) "I want that!"

Emily's eczema is better!!!! YAY!!!! I finally took Chrissy and Becca's advice and took her off gluten (mostly, I'm still learning) and she's doing a lot better. Not all the way... she's still itchy and whiny, but so much less!! We also ALWAYS put her in long sleeves and tape them around the bottom so she can't pull them up to scratch. It has REALLY helped. (Jayme, you're a genius!) We do the same thing with her pj pants if we need to, but the real problem is her arms. We're pursuing more allergy testing, and getting more answers in that department, too. It's so nice to have her better.

Ella is crawling and saying "hi" and "mama". And she's still a moose. She likes to eat.

Jason and I are hanging in there. Barely... but we're still here. I'm enjoying weighing less than I have in 4 1/2 years!! Jasons been having a tough year at school, but that's slowly improving. Life with four kids is tough, but it's nice to have so many smiling faces around here. We've got really good kids. They are awesome!

O yeah, the kids looked great on Halloween, here are some pics...
