The dead blog

Wow, it was November last time I posted anything on here. I am a terrible blogger, especially since I am on Facebook now.

Not sure what to update on. I guess I'll start with the kiddos. Cailin and Katie turned 5 in January. They had their 5 year old check ups this week and all went well. I also took them to the eye doctor this week. Unfortunately, Cailin has a slight lazy eye, and now my little girl needs glasses. I'm worried about this for two reasons. First, I feel bad that Cailin has to get glasses at such a young age because I feel like that's going to be a reason for other kids to tease her. The other reason I'm worried is because Cailin is the least coordinated one in our family, and I know it will probably be only a matter of days before she breaks her glasses (once she gets them).

Cole had his 9 month check up (a month late) on the same day I took the girls in for their 5 year check up. He is doing okay. He only weighs 15.6 pounds, which sticks him in the bottom .5% of baby boys his age. He used to be in the 2nd percentile, but now he's even lower. I'm not too worried about this because both of the girls did the same thing about this age. But, I will still do what the doctor says and fortify Cole's solid foods with more calories.

Elijah is doing well. He's talking like a crazy kid now, and is my little helper around the house. He loves to help me do the dishes and put away the folded laundry. He also has his "two year old" moments, but he's a great kid.

Now for an update on the house hunting. This past week, we finally went under contract. I say finally because it was our 7th offer we have put in on a house. Yay! Well, we thought yay, until we had the inspection. The inspector found way too many code issues, and some pretty serious structural issues with the house, so we pulled out of the contract :-( Now we'll see if we can find something else.

So that's us in a nutshell. Maybe I'll get around to putting some pictures on here today too.
