Doing well

Thank you everyone for your kind, encouraging words. We made it through the first week of school, and hopefully my worst week of pregnancy sickness. Jackson is loving his classes at the college. Thomas had a great time at kindergarten, and especially gets excited about riding the bus!

These pictures are from a few weeks ago. This is my Essie...hair flying everywhere and face messy. It probably says more about me than it does about her :)

Cheers!

Some news...

...we are expecting a baby again! I can't believe we will actually have 4 children. That seems like a LOT of kids! The baby is due March 24th. Pregnancy is hard on me...not as hard as it is on many, I know, but it is still hard for me. This is why I haven't posted anything for so long. I am struggling just to do the essential things like meals, groceries, and laundry. Any spare moment I have is spent sleeping...trying to overcome the exhaustion.

Jackson starts classes tomorrow morning. He is going back to school full time to get his Master's in Business Administration. He will still also be working full time, so he will be a busy guy. It will be hard to not see him as much, but we feel like this is the right course to take, so here we go!

Thomas starts Kindergarten on Wednesday! I am having such mixed feelings.

And...because I can't do a post without pictures, here are a few from a trip to the park last week. Nicholas found this caterpillar. He let it crawl on him and thought that was really cool until it started getting close to his skin. Then he started saying, "Get it off, get it off, get it off!"
