Wow I am late getting this out! I usually get this out on the first of the month! Some people even thought I must have been in the hospital having the baby since I didn't send this yet. LOL Well here it is. Better late than never!
Welcome to November. I am already freezing my tush off in Texas. The middle of the day is nice but the mornings and nights are freezing. OK so it is not as bad as NY or anything, but the cold here is different than in AZ. It goes right to your bones! I am going to have to get the kids more winter clothes soon!
This month we won't be going to any events. We are going to try to take it easy until Levi comes, which should be very soon! We plan on having Thanksgiving at our house with Doug's parents. Doug is such a sweetie and has his heart set on making me the perfect turkey since he knows I will be homesick.
Here is how everyone is doing:
Doug- His Crohn's seems to be under control now and he is having less and less stomach pains. He doesn't have to go as often for his IV meds now either, so that is nice. He is absolutely loving his job and the people he teaches love him. He just finished up with one of his seminary classes and only has a few more weeks of Greek left. Please keep him in your prayers because foreign languages are not easy for him and Biblical Greek is extremely difficult.
Logan- Logan is loving preschool and he is finally starting to talk more at school. He is so shy and we are having a hard time getting him to come out of his shell. He is obsessed with figuring out initial letter sounds now and he can understand when you spell some words. Doug and I have started spelling some words backwards so he can't figure it out anymore, i.e. we used to be able to say something like, "Do you want to take the kids to the P A R K" but now we have to say "K R A P" because he knows that one. LOL
Aila- Aila is starting to show signs of her "terrible twos". She is no where near as difficult as Logan was at this stage, but she is more whiney and sensitive about certain things. She HATES having her face or hair washed. She will cry and say "Ow! Ow! Ow!" as if you are hurting her. But mostly she is a sweetheart. She will randomly pray for different people throughout the day now. She stops whatever she is doing and closes her eyes real tight and says "Dear God, Bless (whoever she is praying for) Amen!" She had her 2 year check up today and weighed 26 lbs and was 34.5 inches tall. The doctor estimated her adult height to be 5 ft 6 in, which is crazy to me because I always thought she was my midget child!
Me- I am 38 weeks pregnant this week and am in complete nesting mode. Every day I have projects that I want to tackle. I am having contractions all the time and I feel like I waddle like a penguin.
XOXO,
The Sheppard Bunch
