I have a broken camera so I haven't posted in a LONG time...
Anyway...
We're all doing very well and I feel amazing, I sometimes forget that I'm even pregnant because I feel that great. I'm 27 weeks now and can't believe the little bit of time I have left...yay!! I really do want to cherish these days and just remember what it's like to be pregnant because we're pretty sure this will be the last (as most of you heard me say all the time during my very ill days)
Danny is traveling right now, he'll be in Ethiopia until the beginning of May and we REALLY miss him. I know we've done this a handful of times before, but we extra-miss him this time.
Even though it's been a few short weeks he's going to be shocked at how much the kids have grown...
Lula is such a big-little girl now. Her hair is amazingly long (still full of ringlets), her legs are sooooo long and she knows sooooo much. She is incredibly smart, genuinely kind, and pretty darn funny...I love her sooooooo much!
Kobe is really truly turning into a young man. He is abruptly approaching teen-hood. It's funny because I always thought that as the kids get into a more independent stage I will have to supervise less of the time than more. I found that this is not the case. Actually I have been so challenged by this next stage of supervision than ever! It's not as easy as putting safety plugs in the electrical outlets, removing objects that are small enough to fit inside a toilet paper roll, setting up block towers just for demolition, or even playing the roll of princess Leia ALL DAY LONG.
No, it's different.
It's watching my boy make mistakes that I can't stop him from making because it's a learning process. Things that I know are making him suffer, but he couldn't possibly understand unless he's suffered through them. I love him and I need to keep him closer than ever.
I am always amazed at how Mia is so incredibly peaceful, loving, caring, and just so well balanced at such a young age. She really understands more than you could ever imagine a 6 year old understanding. What really impresses me is how caring she is. I mean extra extra extra caring. She is genuinely concerned about every ones well being and strives to be the best person she can be. As a matter of fact I heard her downstairs this morning coaching Lula on some good healthy eating tips. She even reminded Lula very kindly that she should only have a half a piece of cheese because she has a tendency to get constipated easily...I love her sooooo much...
Ha-ha...When Lula is Kobe's age she is going to be super mad that you told the whole world about her constipation!
