Quick Updates

Well it was pretty chaotic at our house Christmas through New Year's. Justin is still doing an AWESOME job with the potty training. We have had a few accidents, but just on separate occasions, and they are during the day. No accidents at night!! He has been wearing big boy undies now for a week. So we are keeping our fingers crossed that it continues...
Nicholas is still on his firetruck kick. Although he has showed alot of interest in the Air Force. Jeff, one of Ben's cousins, is currently in the Air Force, and well Nicholas looks up to him and well you know where it goes from there. Jeff even got him his own uniform that looks just like his. Nicholas is on cloud nine! Yeah, can you imagine an Air Force trainee on a firetruck with a truckie belt :) What an imagination!
Now Alissa, she is in a world ALL her own, a very fast and LOUD world. She is always running back and forth from room to room and giving the others a reason why they DON'T want her in their room. She is amazing and growing so fast. She is trying to say words that of course only we understand what she really wants. Sometimes I even have to ask Nicholas what she wants.
Alexis is just fitting in like she has been with us since day one. We have had some issues but nothing out of the ordinary. Her and Nicholas bicker just like brother and sister. The second semester will be starting when they go back to school. Her grades are betting better every six weeks. We are so proud of her!
Last but not least, there's US...Ben has been a little under the weather. Well not so little because he got put in the hospital this evening. The doctor thinks that his gallbladder isn't "working" they way it's supposed to. He doesn't have gallstones so in the morning he will be having a HIDA scan (I know how to say it, not spell it). There is a possibility that he might have his gallbladder removed Saturday. I will try to keep you posted. As for me, well....let's just say that this is my way of keeping my marbles straight :)!!! It gets a little overwhelming but we wouldn't have it any other way. The kids are the light of my life. Everyday that I wake up I love them that much more. The hugs, the kisses, the fights, the timeouts, everything always seems to fall into place. God truly blessed us with 4 beautiful children. I can't thank Him enough for all that he has done in our lives. God is Great!
