A Review

Last week:

  • Celebrated Aunt Sarah’s 19th Birthday with the fam.
  • Big Guy, Rachael and I took the cats to the yearly vet appointment on Monday and got their shots updated in time to give the record to our caseworker on Wednesday.
  • Started only blogging when the kids are in bed/asleep.
  • Little Man started rolling from belly to back. (YAY!!!)
  • We focused on sleep training for Little Man and reintroduced sleeping in his bassinet after he had to sleep the past two weeks in a bouncer due to sickness drainage.
  • Almost broke Abi’s new bad habit of getting out of her bed when told to go to sleep. (We’re pretty well there.)
  • Moved Hannah out of Matt and my room (we’re no longer dueling bassinets on either side of the bed. YAY!) into “the girls’ room” where she did AWESOME in the transition and continued her middle-of-the-night feeding (around 4am) without disturbing her sisters.
  • Matt and I had our first date night in weeks (months?) – thanks Grandpa for staying with the masses. =D
  • Hannah had her follow-up Dr. appt for her double ear infection, thus ending antibiotics.
  • Big Guy had his physical done for preschool with shots (boo).
  • Hannah started solid food. (Yay peas!!!)
  • Big Guy toured the preschool that he started today. (YAY!!!!! He likes!!!!)
  • Our foster care caseworker visited and met our new kids. =)
  • The boys’ GAL (court attorney voice) visited and gave me much more info about the case.
  • We had a second outbreak of lice (BOO!!!!!!) and this time my 2 yr old got it. (SO not cool).
  • Began planning for and hunting for tickets for our trip to CA in April. (WOOT!!!)
  • Upward basketball practice for Daddy and a movie night for us.
  • Nit combing, nit combing, nit combing…. hair treating (non-toxic, but still annoying).
  • Matt went to his brother’s Bachelor’s party.
  • Matt’s brother William married his lovely fiance (and now bride), Koutrney, Saturday so we hauled the masses out there to attend and celebrate.
  • I tried to do homeschooling prep so we could start homeschooling this week (goodbye 3.5 week break!!)
  • I cleaned like a beast, rearranged our room a bit (since Hannah moved out), caught up on my Bible Study, got those “twins” back on a feasible post-sickness schedule, treated our cloth diapers and got “the twins” into cloth, got my laundry routine rolling.
  • And we OVERCAME LICE!!!!!!!!!

And I survived to tell it all.

(Deep breath) Feels good to be almost on track! =D

  1. Wow! Sounds like it is balanced though. Everyone seems to be involved, enjoying it and growing. I think I even noticed some quiet time for you too. Way to go Monica! Nicely done.

  2. Wow, amazing what one week can hold. Holy cow! 🙂 YOU MADE IT THROUGH AND NO MORE LICE. HUZZAH!!! 🙂 Let’s see what the new normal looks like now that there are no boiling combs!

  3. Looking forward to seeing you in April and glad we got a little time with you at the wedding. The boys are precious. Let us know if you need any help with planning for while you are in (i.e. hotels, good neighborhoods, things to do)
