Well, I haven't posted for a while and I don't have any earth shattering news to report, but we've been pretty busy.
Nick's crew at work is wrapping up their current job- the Ft Dodge hospital. He's been working strange hours (6am-10pm once!) but is none the less more than ready to be done with that job. His next jobsite is in Belmond, which, is just as far away, but he tends to like the beginning of a job more than the end so it will be a good change of scenery.
Christian continues to juggle school, football practice, and confirmation. I'm very proud of how he's done so far this year. Next week he has his first football game which I am very excited for as football is my favorite sport to watch. Christian believe he's going to be playing center which is very cool. I think he feels good to have a certain position assigned to him.
Bella is still very tired when she gets home from a busy day of kindergarten. As social as she is, I think it completely wears her out. I asked her if she was able to sleep a little during their "nap" time, but her response was "I can't sleep mommy, they have Reading Rainbow on." On Wednesdays she also has dance class which she loves. Followed by dinner at our church- another social event she wouldn't miss for the world. The product of her busy Wednesdays is a very tired little girl that doesn't know just how tired she is and cannot stop crying from the moment we step into the house after dinner. There's a lot of tears at bedtime, but she wakes up a happy camper ready to do it all again.
And our little man continues to grow and learn things everyday. Zach hasn't been one for talking- heck, who needs to when big sister is a motor mouth?- but just this week he's started parroting a lot. "Do you want an apple?" "App-po" with a nod yes. "Do you like the turtles?" "Turt-to" with a nod yes. Previously his response to everything was no whether he meant yes or not. He also continues to amaze me with the number of bad ideas his little head can hold, but that's a toddler boy trait. Everything needs climbed, jumped on, and touched, it's just how it is.
As for me, I keep busy coordinating all of the above. Work has slowed down a bit now that school has started and everyone in a 20 mile radius of Huxley has had their sports physicals. It's the calm before the storm... flu season. But none the less, the break is nice. I am also preparing to go on a trip to Telluride, Colorado. As of today it's 8 days away. My dear friend Megan is celebrating her 40th birthday with a trip and I was lucky enough to be invited!
The last bit of news I can think of is... Our washer broke last night. It's about the last appliance I want to break with 3 kids in the house. Anyone know a good repair man???
