Quick Update

So I have to get to bed soon since E has 3 month shots in the morning (we use the Dr. Bob schedule) but I wanted to update pretty quickly.

Our prayers have been answered in that C was so much better today. All the snottiness was gone and she acted like there was no issues ever. Also thus far J and E have no signs of any issue. We had the humidifier on in C and J's room last night so I think that helped C but I also think it may have just been allergies after all. I'm still keeping a close eye on this but I'm so thankful for this blessing of healing.

We spent a lot of today working on Christmas gifts and crafts again. I have even more ornaments to add to the tree and we now have several wrapped presents under it too. I don't have any pics right now because I haven't had time to clear out space on my cameras (yep two cameras' large memory sticks are maxed out and I need to back them up). Hopefully I will be able to catch yall up on craft pics tomorrow, though yall will have to wait on a couple till after Christmas to not ruin any surprise.

This afternoon E and I went to Hobby Lobby and Home Depot. Home Depot is one of hubby's favorite stores (I was getting his Christmas gift), and Hobby Lobby is now mine. When we first moved here I wasn't as excited about it being nearby but now I've officially been spoiled in each and every random craft need I could imagine. They have everything! Loads of yarn, decor, wooden items, paper mache everything, a full aisle dedicated to models (both sides), baking gear, kids science projects (you can make a potato clock from a kit), bow making supplies, clothes to decorate, fabric, and even freeze dried astronaut food! Also if I ever get more serious in hat making I know where I can go for Styrofoam heads lol. E had a nice nap in the Moby as I had way too much fun getting some final gifts and craft goods I needed to pick up for Christmas and some new projects I'm working on. Having this and a School Box store near by are definitely too major pluses for our rental house.

On the potty training front all is still great though I don't want to jinx it and say we're fully there yet. No accidents today and everything in the pot. I'm honestly a little sad at the prospect of only having one baby in diapers for a change but excited at the potential for not having to deal with toddler poop again for awhile (newborn poop is so much easier and less foul).

Another new development, E's squeals of delight and "talking" has now become accompanied by even louder squeals almost screams of delight. She is so excited she's found the ability to do this and to get the attention of all of us instantly that she often proceeds to giggle at us immediately after. She has amazingly officially become my loudest child at 3 months (even with big sis and big bro at 3 and 2 years to compete with lol). It's amazing and sure to be a very interesting development.

All is going well as we get closer to the holidays and I pray it continues to do so. Hope to find time to do a more thoughtful post tomorrow lol. Good night and God bless!
