So, I just realized that it has been over a month now since I last gave ya’ll an update on the kidlets. Where shall I begin? Lets start with the bean. Bean is doing well. Getting fatter as each day goes on. He has gone through rice cereal, oatmeal, and now he is on the mixed cereal. He goes back to the doctor next week for his 4 month check up and those dreaded shots. I’ve heard lots of controversy over the whole shot thing and have yet to make a decision against not vaccinating my children. The way I am looking at it right now is that I got vaccinated when I was a child and turned out fine. I hope that I won’t be eating those words later but as of right now that is how I feel about the whole situation. The bean a couple weeks ago started to roll over. He has rolled from tummy to back and then back to front. I leave the room and he has done a complete circle on his play mate and eventually isn’t even on it at all. I think he has been struggling with an earache for the majority of this week. He has been pulling at his left ear and has been very sleepy. His left eye also has had some discharge coming from it. I remember with pnut that the doctor usually recommended that his body just learn to fight it so I didn’t bother taking him to the doctor. I’ve been monitoring him closely to see if he got any worse but he has been getting better each day and now has no discharge from his eye so he is learning to fight it. No use in pumping him full of drugs he doesn’t need.

Now on to the pnut. A couple weeks ago I found a mommy group online for my area. I was so ecstatic to find this group since I’ve been searching for one in my area ever since I moved here. The majority of the moms in the group live in my area but then there are some that are in the bigger cities around me. Of course the bigger cities have their own meetups but I was on a mission to find one that was specifically in my area. Anyways. A good handful of the women and children meet at the Library every wednesday for storytime. I have met some really great women so far. We have been to story time at least 3 times now and absolutely love it. Pnut can’t wait till wednesdays now. He loves meeting his friends. We have also started, since the weather is cooling off, to go to the park after storytime for a nice picnic lunch and playtime. This delights the pnut even more. He keeps asking when we get to see “the kids” again. It is good to see my pnut making friends and I love the mommy time. There was a dessert date planned for tonight but because it was supposed to be a moms night out type of deal I was unable to attend because I had no one to keep the kidlets. Its fine, I’ll just catch up next time they have it.

Another activity we have started to do as a family is going to church on Sunday mornings. Pnut loves the kindergarten class and this past Sunday they made some crafts. They are so cute and the first crafts that pnut has ever made me since I’m the one usually keeping him. They are very special to me. I made a bulletin board for him out of some leftover elmo fabric that I had so we could display all of his wonderful sunday school creations. I’m glad to have found a church that I feel comfortable in. It is a non-denominational church with all kinds of races so our family fits right in. The preacher is funny and really speaks to your soul which is something we all need. The bean typically eats before we go so everytime I pick him up from the nursery he is passed out. All the ladies love him and his squishy parts. They say he is so purty that he should have been a girl. This week I talked with another lady that attends that church and I hope to meet her soon. She is in my mommy group so we will have something in common. Like the library pnut can’t wait to go to church so he can play with “the kids”. I look forward to the time my husband and I can spend alone in the word.

The 2 newest members of our family are such a delight. Pnut is so excited about finally having a cat, well 2 cats. He loves running around the house and having them chase after him. They are slowly warming up to us. Right now as I type this they are sleeping at the bottom of pnuts bed, watching over him. How sweet?

We are doing well. I am sorry for the lack of update. We have had a tough month if you read blog you would have known that but we are doing better than we were a month ago. I am glad that I have joined these groups and are getting out there with the kids for some fun. It has made us better as a family. I’ve taken some videos over the past month that I need to upload so ya’ll can see for yourself first hand what fun we have been having. So, until next time…
