For those of you who live nearby you're familiar with our situation...This post is for the rest of you:
For the past month Our Family has been waiting to hear where and when we will move. The construction of the Medical Center ended in September and it was handed over to the owners. Since then Ryan has been hom and on call, going to the hospital a couple days a week to do some touch ups. We've been told we're going to west virginia next, but as to when we will actually move...we're in limbo.

Super Nanny
I can't vouch that super nany would approve; all I know is that is works. Actually we have a new pet. This is probably a first for our kids, unless you count frogs. Our good friends, the Andersons offered us Oreo - the Bunny. The kids love it. Ryan & I recently gave Oreo a new addition to its house. It went from 3.75 SF to 7.6 SF.

Things I want to remember
It's been a while, and while the task of catching up on things that have happened seems more and more daunting here are a few things I hope I never forget.
The look on T's face when I asked what his friend Annica would say when she found out he was marrying the letter U in his school play...The classic "Uh,oh I'm in trouble" face.
When I switched sides on the bed because Jacob's feet were in my gut and he woke up and said, "Mom, how about we cuddle?"
The way Keith puts my face between his hands to make sure he has my attention when he points out the "baby" near us.
Our frog hunt last night and how the boys (Ryan included) tackled the job of collecting as many frogs as possible in the 30 minutes we were outside. They caught 17. Check it out

Teancum is always coming up with science questions that are beyond his years. Somehow, him and Dad started talking about matter. They learned about solids, liquids, and gases. Teancum has a question for Uncle Trent. Which categories do sunlight and fire fall under.

When we're playing hide and seek with his momo and I hide it under my shirt
J: Momo's in your body!
When I'm putting him in time out for getting out of bed during naptime
M: I'm sorry but you broke the rule
J (frantically): I fix it! I fix it mom!
After his prayers (he names everyone in the family for his prayer)
J: I say everything! That's a good prayer.

Teachers in the south
I never thought much about how a southern education would be different than anywhere else..except maybe the kids learning to say yes ma'am and no ma'am...cute enough.
I never realized that my son might mistake "centers" which they do everyday as "sinners" and there's no convincing him otherwise... when I correct his pronunciation he insists "No, mom we did sinners like when somebody steals something!"

Monday of Firsts
On the way to school...the camera stalled for a while so the kids lost interest
Today was Teancum's first day of Pre-K...the first time I dropped him off at a school for class. The first time it mattered to him what he peers thought about Mom kissing him goodbye. I cried when I got to the van because my little boy isn't little. He loved every minute of school and was bouncing on the way home. He said he made a new friend E... His friend is the only one the got in trouble in class today and tonight was the first time I heard him pray so his friend wouldn't get in trouble tomorrow.
Teancum with his embarassed smile...I love him
Today we celebrated Keith's first birthday...he turns one on Thursday, but it's a busy week for us. It was his first time opening presents and eating his own cupcake. His First time recieving a large toy that was his own...and he loved every minute of it.
Eating his cupcake. it was a moment of hesitation and then he barely took it away from his mouth until it was gone.
Opening presents
Playing with his gifts
