New Adventure of Life

So I have attempted to write several times, but then I get interrupted. Anyways we had a good time in Michigan and Illinois visiting our family in August. We're so sorry that we didn't get to see everyone. Especially the family and friend in Illinois. We were only there for about 3 days and had to sort though our belongings in my husbands aunts house that has been there for the last 4 years. We are hoping to be able to visit longer in May/ June when we come down for my youngest sister graduation at the beginning of June. What new for us is that we have a crawler. Emma is crawling everywhere. She has been following Payton around the house. They love to make each other laugh.  Emma also got finish her physical therapy that she was in. She was actually measuring ahead for her age. When we first started this she was measuring about 3 months behind in some things. I saw that is a big improvement. Another thing is James is going to be traveling for work for two weeks in October.

Less than a month until we leave to go to Michigan. One of my younger sister is getting married in August so we're traveling down for the wedding.  I'm so excited. I just want to pack now, but I can't. I want to buy some stuff, but I can't because I want to buy stuff in Michigan.  I am just happy that we get to go on a small vacation. We also will stop in Illinois and see some family there quickly. We will spend some more time there next June when we come back down for my youngest sister high school graduation. Now for some updates on the family. James has been working overtime for the last few weeks. Tuesday will be the last day of overtime and then he goes back on his normal schedule. I have grand jury every Thursday this month. Payton is just growing. Not just in weight or height, but also in knowledge. His vocabulary is get big. He is starting to make long sentences. It's amazing watching him grow. When we sit down at the table to eat a meal, he'll stick o

So let me start out that I love my kids. But I am ready to go crazy. Emma for some reason has decided to start waking up in the middle of the night multiple times. This has been going on since the end of February and the beginning of March. At first I thought she was going through a growth spurt. It is the end of May and she is still getting up multiple times. I have a feeling it's because she doesn't get enough to eat. She is still eating every two hours and she is almost 7 months old. I have tried giving her baby food since she was 4 months old. She won't eat it. After awhile I kinda just quit because baby food is so expensive here and she was acting like it was hurting her stomach. Well I  decided to start trying again and she still won't eat. I have no idea what else to do. I have to something figured out by July since I have grand jury every Thursday for that month and I need to be able to give her some other things to eat besides breast milk. Payton has back tra

It has been awhile since I last wrote. I mean I have attempted to write, but  I seem to just lose my train of thought or one of my kids need my attention. Sometimes I feel that I have so much to say, but when I come to write it out I can't get it in the words that I want it to. If that makes any since. I also have been losing sleep most nights. I'm not purposely trying to give excuses, but it's true. I am at a stage in motherhood where my two year wakes up in the middle of the night and joins James and I in bed. My almost 6 months old wakes up in the middle of the night still if she goes to bed before 9:30. It's worse on the nights that James has to be up early the next morning for work. There are days that I am barely awake until the afternoon. Sometimes I set an alarm on my ipod just to make sure I'm awake just in case I start drifting off to sleep in the morning. That mostly happens when Emma is taking her nap and Payton is watching Curious George. The last week

Well this is another attempt at starting a post. My life feels crazy tight now. The last time I posted I was still pregnant.  November 1, 2014 I had little miss Emma. It's been fun and exhausting so far having two kids. Payton is getting a lot better with her than at the beginning. Emma has been teething that last month or so, but know teeth yet. I don't expect them anytime soon though. She has been waking up screaming like she is in pain and if you rub her gums she calms down so at least we know her issue. Her first 3 months she was colicky. That has gotten a lot better. Payton just celebrated his second birthday this month. It's hard to believe that James and I have a two year old. He has been a big helper with some things. He loves to try helping me burp Emma. I personally think he likes "hitting" her with out getting into trouble. He does it gently by the way. Anyways we have been trying to figure out how to help him sleep at night. He won't sleep throug
