Long overdue!!

WOW this update is long over due.

Fast forward 19 months down the line....


Finley is now an active, very active 19 month old who very much likes to test his mommy all day every day. We have had a much harder time with him then we ever did with Eli. I know they say no two children are alike but man this two are polar opposites!! We just had some sensitivity testing for foods and found out gluten may be a problem so we have eliminated that from our diets in hopes that that might be part of the problem. He has pretty much been an unhappy child his whole life crying most days. I am really hoping when he gets more words it will be better.

I never imagined two children would be this hard. Needless to say we will space the next one out a little further in hopes it will not be as hard!!

I cannot believe Eli is almost 4 years old, where has the time gone. We are struggling with his behavior right now and I know it is only a phase but I am at a loss as to what to do to get him to listen and be nice to his brother. He starts back to preschool in a few weeks and he is really excited about that.

In other news our basement is being finished. I cannot wait for it to be done and finally have a complete house!!!We do not necessarily need the extra space but it will be nice when it is all done and so much cooler down there.

I cannot believe how fast this summer has gone by. We have enjoyed some camping trips in our new camper. I am loving being about to take the boys camping. This past week we headed up to the Tetons and Yellowstone and while it was a long time in the car I think the boys had a great time. We didn't get to see any animals which was sad but it was an adventurous trip to say the least. We ran out of gas on the way up there had to wait on a tow truck to bring us some gas. Then Eli got bitten by something and ended up in the ER and had to be put on antibiotics.

Simon has been full time at apple for over a year now and had a chance for a promotion but for one reason or another he was turned down so he has been looking at other openings and is hopefully going to move to another spot within the store soon we just have to pray that this time he gets it!!

I am also looking at a new business adventure and I am really hoping it goes through as I think it will be perfect for me. I will update more once something happens.

Cant think of much else for now but will definitely keep the blog more up to date soon about our adventurous life with two small children. It is definitely very tough right now and most nights I end up going to bed feeling completely deflated and am hoping soon I can find the right way to encourage and love on the boys to mold them into children that have a heart for God.
