Still alive

I am so behind on blogging. There are a few sitting in the 'draft' box, waiting to be published and posted. To be honest, I haven't seemed to have much time to post and get some pictures up. This past month and a half has been a blur. Not to mention my computer has had some issues and I am a little panicked as I haven't backed up all of my photos yet (just since Jude was born--very important) and John usually takes his with him (not tonight though). So once I get my computer issues rectified and most importantly my pictures completely backed up, I will be back.

We had Zech's birthday, the stomach flu hit John, Jude and myself and it was ravenous! Zech and Gigi seemed to get the cold. Jude has been beyond fussy and we are now just starting to see our happy, content Jude again. He is such a hungry, gassy baby. We are finally figuring things out.

I just want to get a schedule down, but I realize he is only 7 weeks. Hopefully soon things will start to settle down and become routine. Praying so much for that lately. Genesis stopped napping (great timing) and the terrible two's are upon us. None the less she is such a character lately, it totally cracks me up. Just wait until I share some pictures of her lattest dress-up outfits (picture princess Darth Vader and Princess batman). Oh and yes, she went out in public like this and I was just happy to get her out of the door (picked my battles) to pick Zechariah up.

Zech is loving school and we feel so incredibly blessed that he has such an amazing teacher at a great school. She is terrific and really focuses on the children's hearts---yay! It is fun to hear the stories and see his work and excitement over playtime, an event, a field trip or even a story he picked out in the library.

John is beyond busy and sometimes I feel like I never see him. He is learning so much and it is really incredible to see how God is working!

Moi, well I am past my 6 weeks, so I have started working out again. I feel like the prison sentence has been lifted. I even took all 3 kids to the mall and survived--by myself! I am feeling stronger mentally, and emotionally. The baby blues hit me a little harder this time than expected. I started doing Jillian Michaels videos again as it is such an incredible workout in only 20 min. I am so weak though and I am really hurting. Genesis was quite concerned and wanted me to stop at one point. She is funny! I am still trying to figure out the best time to do it. I am such a morning work out person. I love running, working out in the mornings best, so hopefully I can squeeze it in before i have to pick Zech up from school.

Pictures and more posts soon....I promise. I even took a video of Jude talking and smiling away. He has been so happy and animated lately. It is so stinkin cute!
