Hands on House!





We went to the hands on house again with the girls. They never seem to get bored with it and ask to come whenever it rains. They were great and tired when we left. Pictures are very difficult as both of the girls are never still for and entire minute!

Thinking.....

Thinking of all of the bad things that have happened recently. I am realizing how good my life is. Chris's hours at work changed and he is now working 7 -7 Monday thru Thursday at his trucking job. He is also working in a single axle day cab on the road. He was frightened at first by this with the thought of icy roads and winter. Then when we were at Reeds Gap Vietnam Vet motorcycle rally his very pretty motorcycle was backed into and there was some damage and an insurance claim. Then he had cellulitis and was in the hospital for several days. Now, he is still taking antibiotics and cannot take his medicine for his RA.
Despite all of this Chris is doing great. His leg is healing. The motorcycle is fixed. His work is well... working out. He is adjusting nicely to the hours and his knees are not as sore as we expected them to be.
The girls are both amazing creatures. Ahleah is talking up a storm and so very cute. She loves playing with her babies and is such a sweet heart! She has a spot of ringwork on her nose of all the crazy places. It doesn't seem to bother her but it really is an eye sore.
Andrea is well crazy as always. She is such a dream girl...her eyes enchant me every time I look at her. She has become a pro at swinging and pumping her legs to keep herself going. Andrea has been acting out at school. I am not sure why though. She has not been listening to her teacher Miss Rae. She listens to me at home as well as she always has and really misses her Daddy in the evenings.
As for me. I am great! School is in session and flowing as well as expected and I am not for once taking a PSU class so I feel like I have tons of time to do the necessities like for example clean my house and relax once the kiddos are in bed with Chris. I still stay up too late and worry about everything. I have been having trouble sleeping and find myslef waking in a panic several times througout the night and needing to check on the girls. Who are always sound asleep in their rooms. I'm sure it will pass.

Happy Labor Day!

We had a great saturday and sunday with my parents. They came to visit us for the holiday so that we wouldn't have try and drive with Chris and his very sore leg. On saturday they were kids enough to help me take the girls to have their pictures taken. The girls were great for the pictures and they were so hard to choose from. Today, sunday they helped me to unload and take all the way up to the attic all of our camping gear from our trip to Reeds Gap.
I love watching my parents interact and play with my girls! My dad and Ahleah flirt back and forth all through dinner and she even says "Pappy's Girl" and Andrea is loving playing with her nana. She constantly is asking her nana to go to her room and play.
They left this afternoon and it seemed like the minute they left I was instantly bored. Chris and i took the girls for a slushy walk and the girls and I played in the backyard for the remainder of the evening. Andrea and I played soccer with a beach ball and Ahleah loves to be pushed in the swing higher than any child I have ever seen. She shouts "higher" when ever she begins to slow down.
I forgot to take pictures!! Blah!
