updates

I'm starting to feel a little better thankfully. I ended up going to school on Tuesday because I just don't have enough days left in my sick bank to take off and still be able to take the rest of the year off when I have our next baby. So, I feel like I need to go pretty much everyday. Plus, I knew that Chad and I had already scheduled to take a personal day off today (Wednesday) to do some Christmas shopping and take the girls to see Santa. Tuesday morning I woke up not feeling good at all, but went ahead anyways. Thankfully as the day went on, it got a little better. The Dr. had told me to gargle with salt water to help my throat, but I thought that one of these would taste better. ;) So I gave it a shot. And I think I was right. It did taste pretty good.

Haven't posted on Chad in awhile and I think it's about time. Chad's team is now 5 - 2. He is pretty happy with how his team is playing together. They have even come back and beat a team that they lost to the first time around. He has about 3 more games left before the final tournament. They are having lots of fun. As soon as the boys are done (actually a little before they are done) he starts with the girls. They actually overlap for about 1 week. He really enjoys working with the girls too. Plus, that season is shorter and he gets paid the same. I'm sure that helps too.

Presley - Let's see what she's up to... She is singing in church for the first time on Sunday. I'm not sure how that's going to go. We weren't sure if it was for her class or not when we saw the Preschool choir was singing in the newsletter a couple of weeks ago. But when I picked her up from her class on Sunday there was a note saying she needed to be there a little early to line up. I'm wondering how she will do. Chad and I agreed that everyone she knows will probably have to hide so she can't see them or she will start crying. I'm hoping she stands up there with the rest of the kids and doesn't cry. I'm not too optimistic that she will actually sing. But, hopefully she will prove me wrong. We've been working on singing the songs she will be performing all week, and she only wants to practice one of them, This Little Light of Mind. She likes the part where we sing, "Hide it under a bushel, NO!" We have to sing that chorus over and over and over. They are also planning on singing Go Tell it on the Mountain and Away in the Manger. I think there may be a 4th song too, but I can't remember it. Anyone who wants to come and watch is invited. They are singing in the 11:00 service. Let me know.

Addison - She is working on her 9th tooth. 5 on top and 4 on the bottom. She had one pop through a couple of weeks ago and then last week I noticed she had one of her molars in too that I didn't even know was coming. She is also Miss Independent, that's for sure. She wants to do everything that Presley can do by herself. If Presley is walking in a store, then Addison thinks she can walk too. If Presley is pushing her baby around in the stroller, then Addy wants her stroller too. I love this age she is at, where she is finally old enough to play with Presley. I know I have mentioned how they seem to be fighting lately, but it's not all the time. They really do play together really good most of the time. They entertain themselves a lot. And you can tell that they love each other.
