For those of you who missed me, I have returned. I went without the Internet since December in order to save money. I have since had the new baby, Brooklyn Rose, on January 18. She is doing great, and she is the most quiet baby I have ever seen. If I didn't know that we had added another to the brood, I would almost forget she was here!
Henry was very jealous at first, but now "kiss the baby" is his favorite activity. He is getting very big, very fast. He is saying a few words, walking well, and learning his body parts. He is still very clingy and needy, though. If anyone has any ideas on how to make him more independent, I'd love to hear them. Some days, he cries all day unless someone is holding him. I've never seen anything like it.
Jamie is BORED!!! He is so looking forward to school. I tried to find some sort of sport for him to play, but apparently, he will have to be a year or 2 older. He goes to AWANAS at church on Wednesdays, but I still think he may need more contact with children his own age. He is, however, hilarious and is always saying really off the wall things that make me laugh so hard that I'm about an inch away from needing Depends.
Mykaela is still making straight A's, and she has just started playing softball. We are trying to get her to be more physically active because she wants to spend most of her time reading, writing, and drawing. I don't think this is healthy to be inside all the time. She is being very helpful around the house and with the younger kids, and I am thankful for that.
Barry has been really great lately. He is helping with the kids a lot more. We have not had as much issue with who's getting up in the middle of the night this go round. We've been trying to share equally. He's even been doing laundry and dishes! His job has cut him down to 32 hours a week, which, isn't good, but it's better than being laid off like most of his co workers.
Well, I guess that's about it for now. I will try to post as often as possible, but lately I've been having trouble finding time to breathe. I will say, that even though my house is chaos, it's happy chaos. I feel blessed every day, even on the bad days. Hope everyone has a great Sunday and a nice week ahead.

Welcome Back! And Congratulations! I was wondering where you went :) How far exactly are you from me? I have playgroups from time to time. You can e-mail me if you'd rather not put that info on here.
