Time Flies!

Wow I can't believe how long it's been since I last wrote.  So let's catch up.  First Leah is so big now, she is growing up so fast.  She is already 9 months old.  She can get into anything. Nothing keeps her attention long. She can walk along anything as long as she is touching something. She can stand alone, she has two front bottom teeth, has official walking shoes, loves to throw a fit, and loves to LAUGH!  She is so cute she will squinch up her eyes and just smile so big, I love her!  We finally have a routine going for her sleeping and eating.  Oh and she is completely bottle fed now.  I was ready to be done nursing (well not nursing, pumping)  I hated pumping it was so hard to fit into my work schedule.  I love the bond of nursing and hopefully on the next child if I can stay home full time I can nurse even longer. 
Let see...Leah started eating "table"food. The doc said she was skinny and wouldn't hurt to gain some weight. So I have introduced table food with her baby foods.  So far she loves it!
Recently Kevin's two sister's, Jenni and Cindi came for a visit. I love them.  They are so fun and yes again I wished they lived here.  They brought there children as well. It was fun to visit since all the children are close in age.  Jenni's child ( Brooke just three days younger than Leah) then Cindi's little boy (Jack is two months younger than Leah).  Sadly the entire time they were here I was deadly sick. Sucky timing.  I tried to not get anyone sick so I skipped out on some of the festivities.  Then after they left I was sick for another week and I am still slowly recovering.  I had a combination of illnesses at once.  It is so hard to be sick and take care of a child.  Thank goodness my loving family are so very wonderful. My Mom and Dad took care of me and Leah so I could rest.  They also came and spring cleaned my house.  Also my sister, Katie, came to clean and help me take care of Leah so I could be sick and rest. Then my sister who is going through Chemo, Holly, also offered to help.  Seriously my family is the best and most selfless.  I love that we are always there for each other through trials.  I hope that Leah recognizes that trait in our family as she gets older.
Kevin is still working so hard in school, poor thing always has papers to do. I forgot what it was like to be in school, and yea I am glad that chapter in my life is complete. But I am proud of him for working so hard at school and not being a procrastinator like me.
 I am still working all the time, work is so busy right now! I blame the stress of work for making me sick. I still love my primary calling. But new boundaries.....no sick kids in class!
