Life in General

It’s been awhile since I did a bullet point post (and actually I’ve been pretty bad at posting much at all recently) so here we go!

• Chloe & Josiah are SO excited about our upcoming trip to Michigan City that they have already started lists of things they want to bring.
• Maddie is finally getting over her cold (that I feel like she’s had for a month).
• Levi is still waking up 1-2 times a night.
• Its supposed to snow here tomorrow, so we need to make sure we pick up the toys outside before everything is covered!
• Tim had his last day of work today.  Hooray!
• We are all still enjoying the Thankful Jar.
• I actually ordered my Christmas cards already.  Look at me.  I’m so on the ball.  At least I was able to get one thing done… Now just to make sure that I address them and actually get them mailed before Christmas…
• Maddie is saying new words daily.  This week she started saying: Hi Levi, Buckle and One more.  Although you should know that they don’t always sound exactly like the words.  🙂
• I dropped the ball on getting my students started on contest music this year, so I’m not going to have many students able to be in it.
• Tim is taking Levi to his 2 month well-child check up as I write this.
• Chloe was placed in a H.P. math class at school.
• I started Josiah in his own Christmas book and he loves it.
• I feel like there is so much “stuff” swirling in my head lately that I keep forgetting (I blame residual pregnancy brain and lack of solid sleep).  So I finally took a pen and wrote down everything that I could think of to remember to do.  There were 43 things.  No wonder I was feeling overwhelmed!  I’ve crossed off 20 things already.
• I’ve been able to play piano again.  I couldn’t when I was pregnant b/c it hurt my back too much.
• Levi is smiling so much these days, it’s wonderful.
• Chloe can read 107 words (outloud) per minute.
• Josiah continues to adore Levi.
• We’ll be just about to Michigan City by this time next week!
