Announcing....

By
Well it has been quite some time since I last updated. I guess the biggest change withi n that time is the fact that we are expecting a third little blessing in January! We are really excited, and I would be lying if I said I am not at all anxious about what life with three little ones is going to look like. Me and Ian were playing with the kids last night. Ian was wrestling with Anthony while Luke was picking on me (stealing my glasses, trying to put his hat on my head, climbing all over me, etc). All of a sudden we both had the same though at the same time. "Where is #3 going to be in this mix?" I think it will be impossible to get my mind around until after he/she (probably he though. Just a feeling) is here. So I am 12 weeks and this pregnancy is nearly identicle to my other two. I think it is more similar to my first pregnancy though. I am probably going to gain a lot of weight. Expecting 35ish lbs again which I am ok with.(I only gained 18lbs with Luke) I am pregnant! I am not crazy about my weight when I am not pregnant, so I can't expect myself to be crazy about it now. As long as I am eating balanced meals, and not overdoing it on junk,then I am fine with whatever happens. I am dealing with a lot of headaches and aversion to smells. Very similar to my first. Anyway, I ask Anthony all the time if he thinks the baby is a boy or girl, and what we should name it. He always says boy, and his names include Fourty-Six, Goy, baby mommy, and my personal favorite, Pork Chop.

Spring is Finally Here!

By
Finally! I feel like Spring has finally come to stay. My allergies are killing me, and my skin is reacting to sunlight in true Jess fashion. I'm pretty sure I have solar urticaria. WebMD told me so, so it must be legit. Seriously though, I do have all the symptoms and it seems to be getting worse with age. It's kind of awful but the fresh air is so nice, I can't stand to stay inside. I likely am going to have to get some sun protective clothing. If I was worried about being cool before, wearing a long-sleeve swimsuit really will seal my fate as a very, uncool mom. hahaha! Last week was so nice out that we took the whole week off from school and focused on enjoying the weather and preparing for Easter. The homeschooling community likes to say that instead of taking off for snow-days, we take off for sun-days. I do love that flexibility.  Today, we started back up with school again but the boys still spent most of the day outside in the fresh city air, and our day was pre...

Autumn fun!

By
     Last week, to celebrate the official start of Autumn we took a little nature walk at a nearby park. I just love this park because there is so much space, that I don't worry about the kids running too far ahead of me.   My little Luke especially loves that I am not constantly asking him to 'wait' or 'come back'. He is ever the explorer.        Our mission was to observe nature in the beginning of Autumn, and collect things we find on the ground.       We had a really fun time exploring. Anthony spotted some lilypads, but to his mild disappointment, no frogs. We saw a squirrel in a tree making a really weird noise that I had no idea squirrels were even capable of making. We came to the conclusion that he may have been sick, or singing us a song. Lukie made friends with a couple of ducks. We observed the very dark gray skies, and predicted that it would begin raining some...

Learning

By
I just love teaching Anthony. I am sure I will enjoy teaching Luke as well, but Anthony is at an age where he can communicate well enough that you can measure what he is learning. I think the most important thing to do is to instill a love for learning. We read books all the time, and I try to allow Anthony to explore his surroundings, and (safely) follow through with his curiosities. Discovering and learning new things can be so much fun, even when it is messy, loud, and repetitive. A lot of times when I feel myself getting uptight about him making a mess, or getting dirty, or banging pots and pans together, I remember that he is really discovering this stuff for the first time. It is all brand new to him, so I should relax and let him have some fun. Safe fun, but fun nonetheless. Anyway, Anthony counts to ten, - actually he does 1-12 and 16-20. hahaha. And recites some of his ABCs and can recogize some of the letters and numbers as well. And he does this ALL. DAY. LONG. Talk abou...
