Girls!!!

So here I am 27 weeks along and trying to still do it all! Emily came home from school yesterday with a letter for adam or I to sign to let the school help her with her reading. ( Now mind you all emily does is read! Her normal reading min for the week is usually 240-380, the required is 160!) All i could think is what am I doing wrong that they think she needs help. I sat with her and we read for 30 min and i listened i mean I really listened to her. And to me she sounds like a 7 yr old. I mean you can tell she has a hard time with a couple things but come on she is 7. So I worked her hard yesterday trying to make up for anything I might have done wrong. Not realizing that maybe mom hasn't done anything wrong. I went and talked with her teacher just to find out. ( adam and i are not opposed to extra help we want her to excel, this one just confused us) With speaking with her teacher I found out that she has a hard time making letter sounds when they are with other letters like the word imp she would say I'm p. And i have heard that with her but I try to work it out with her. Well the teacher said that she is not in the bottom of her reading class but in the middle bubble (not above average). So her hope is to get her the extra help to raise her up a bit further. ok i can handle that. So now it is up to me to work a little harder on what we know is the problem. I have decided that frustrations with your children never end. On those bad days I look in the mirror and say I love my children I love my children!!! And off i go to help a little bit more.

Aubrie is of course Aubrie. She is loving preschool and cannot wait to be at the big school with her sister. I don't think she still fully understands about maddie coming as yesterday she took a flying leap with both knees into my belly( OUCH!!!!!) And that is all i said and i got the you don't love me, I'm not pretty, I'm not a big girls speech from her. That was a fun one to defuse before school started for the day! But with a little cuddling it all got worked out.

Maddie...... Ohhhhh she makes her self known when she wants to! Lets hope she can be this quiet in Dec. As for now the dr and I have decided if she has not come be Dec 27th they will induce me that morning. That way we make sure she is a Dec baby!

almost

With baby Maddie well on her way we decided it was time to almost finish the new office so that Emily could be put in her new room on the third level. As you can see all we have left to do really is put up the crown molding when we can afford it! The next step is getting Emily's new rom painted so that we can start moving her down and then get Maddies room painted! Yeah I just love to paint!(ugh)

Aubrie started preschool today!!

Here we are leaving the house for school!!!
This is in front of her new school for the year! She was so excited we went in and she said bye mom and turned around to ignore me the teacher had to remind her to give me a little kiss!!! My baby is alll grown up!!
