**this is my journal so this is for my memory...especially since I can't remember anything any more.
Needless to say we have been busy. I have found either I don't have enough time or enough energy in the day to get everything done.
Soon I will get on the desktop and update the last 3 (or 4) months. But I thought I would jot down a few things about the boys before I forget.
Yesterday while at Sam's Club with the 5 boys alone, I had 2 different couples tell me how great it was that I had 5 BOYS (that was after checking to make sure they were all mine) and "God bless you" and "they are so well behaved" and then I had a lady tell me how handsome my 3 younger ones were (she LOVED Luke) while we were waiting for the 2 big boys to come out of the bathroom.
Adam: is a great oldest brother. I love that he (usually) is so willing to help with whatever I ask...depending on the task it may take a few reminders but usually it gets done. Personality wise, he is a great mix of Bryan and me. He loves the "with friends" games; like Words with Friends, Gems with Friends and Matching with Friends. He is really good to go out and play with Lola even when it is freezing (to me) outside.
Austin: really has so much of my personality it is frustrating. But he is so sweet and LOVES to be the only one to do something; for example to be the only one to help unload the car or to pick up dinner or toys. And he plays so well with Benjamin and Luke...does school have to start back up again on Tuesday?
Isaac: oh, my Isaac. He loves to talk but doesn't enunciate very well. We are working on it. He loves to stay up late, cuz he's an adult. He loves to watch Wheel of Fortune with me, especially if he gets to stay up a little while longer. He loves to tell me stories; last night it was about "Bryan coming up to bed and he would say "who is in my spot?" And then he would see that it is Isaac and he would have to find a new place to sleep."
Benjamin: has given me a new perspective on 2 year-olds. Since he is my fourth and I LOVE Nursery, I thought I knew 2yo. I was wrong. My dad gave Isaac the nickname Tornado. I think he would give Benjamin the nickname Taunami. But he is so sweet and loving when he isn't throwing a tantrum or climbing on kitchen counters or getting into treats when he has been told no. And he talks and talks and talks, way more than my other boys. He also loves soccer; it is going to be a long year until he can play on a real team too.
Luke: my blue-eyed baby. If he wasn't as wonderful as he is, I would wonder where he came from. I am hoping he is teething right now and that is the reason for him waking up in the middle of the night and feeling that my bed is his bed. Luke has also changed what I thought I knew about my babies. I have never had a baby put things in their mouth (I know, lucky right?). Luke can find anything on the floor, even if it is on the other side of the room, roll or army crawl or scoot to get to it, and stick it in his mouth. He loves going to church because so many people talk to him and want to hold him.
Bryan: aside from work, church, house projects and boys, he got his dog. I am amazed at how balanced he is with everything. And how balanced he keeps me.
Next post: update with photos.
