Family Update

Instead of a 3 month post for Daisy, I thought I give a little on everyone.



Daisy is 3 months old. She's awake more often during the day and I don't think she's too happy about that. She really just wants to sleep and makes sure we know she's not happy. But she's a good baby, generally content just laying in the car seat observing everything. She laughed for the first time tonight. It was totally unexpected but super cute. She's "talking" so much. I just wish she would sloooow down.



And sometimes, she has curly hair. ... Meet Ella! lol!



Maddy's personality has been exploding without her sisters around. She is hilarious and definitely the clown of the bunch. She is very exhausting. With her sisters gone, I have a lot more entertaining to do. She still loves being a big sister, just not when I'm holding the baby. Her tempers get quite heated, but thankfully, she has hit the baby in the head with a toy only 2X.



She gets into a lot of trouble when I'm busy. ...



Abby loves school. Though I'm not sure she likes coming home...she's such a grouch and irritates her sisters. She finds great pleasure in making Kaity and Maddy upset. But she draws only happy pictures so I try not to worry. She wants to be an artist who rides horses when she's grows up.





Kaity is doing so well in school. She got 100 on her first spelling quiz, but she spelled and wroted her words in the right hand column backwards. Imagine the concentration that must take!?!? Her front tooth has been hanging by a thread for months. She looks so silly. I hope it falls out before the other grows in!



El is taking the Dutchess Co police officer exam which would be awesome. Half his day (almost 6 hours) is spent traveling to and from the city.

I am exhausted. I miss sleeping. I don't like 3 hours a night....it's just not working for me. It makes me a cranky mom with little patience for the whining and fighting that occurs the second they walk through the door after school. After 2 visits to the ER, one was scheduled, I found out I have gallstones! Actually had gallstones, in Brooklyn, they dismissed it as gas and constipation. So I'm getting ready to schedule surgery. I'm still struggling to make this place home. I miss going for walks...over here, it's walking to nowhere with no one. Well, Maddy comes along and she whines because she wants to walk, but we don't have sidewalks so it's not going to happen!!!!

So that's it ... in a nutshell.

Nice to read the update on your family. Sweet pics! -including the apple picking. We must do this soon. Good luck with the surgery! I'm sure it will all turn out okay.
