Wow...

...another week has gone by and I am sorry for not updating at all. Our computer is dead. Well...hopefully not dead dead but we'll see. We haven't had time this week to work on it at all. Hopefully today we can get it up and running once again. So needless to say, I'm borrowing my parents laptop for a bit.
We have all the drywall hung in our basement. I will post pictures later. We worked all day last Saturday on it and then James worked on it Wed with Andrew and Thur with my dad and got it finished. It's all ready to mud and sand. Hopefully within the next week or two that will get done. Sure will be nice to have that finished. Sure took long enough!
Faith is doing well. She is one busy little girl. She's always on the move. She just loves books and wants to read all the time. I should get her more books as the books are kinda getting boring for me. I have a couple of them memorized already. But as long as Faith is enjoying it, that's the main thing! She had an appointment yesterday and got weighed and she weighs 18 pounds 4 ounces! She's getting bigger! Poor thing is still in her infant car seat. She still fits in it and she can't face forward yet as she's not 20 pounds. She's 15 months old!!! Hopefully soon we can get her a new car seat.
James is at a Cadet campout this weekend. They left last night and should return at some point today. Not sure when but that's ok. Faith and I have errands that we need to run and also have to take a nap!
Well, I should get going. I will post pictures once our computer is working again. Hope that everyone is doing well.

It's Already Friday

Not much has been happening at our household this past week. James has been busy with work and also Cadets. Faith and I have been busy hanging out and getting on each others nerves. She's been cranky and I've been suffering from a migraine all week. Such a great combo! I was hoping to take Faith to the zoo yesterday but I did not feel up to going. I felt bad as I know that Faith would've enjoyed going and seeing the animals but I just had no energy or ambition to go. So we'll go another time.
Tomorrow we are planning on hanging drywall in our basement. It's finally getting done! Only started working on it about 2 years ago! LOL It will be nice to have that finished. Then on to bigger and better things.
So yeah...that's about it. Nothing real exciting happening over here. We're just kinda boring this week. Sorry!

Busy Busy Busy

We have been really busy this past week and poor little Faith has not been feeling well. She's decided she doesn't want to sleep thru the night anymore and the other day she had a fever. I'm pretty sure this is all due to her teething. I can't wait until she's done teething.
This past weekend James had a softball tournament. Did they win? you might ask...and I'd have to say....ummmm...NO! They did not play well at all. It was kinda sad to see. Oh well. All the guys had fun anyways and the team walked away without any major injuries. A few minor ones though. Nothing a little TLC can't handle!
Even though Faith isn't feeling well, she's still pretty happy and is on the go. It doesn't take her long to fill the house with toys and evidence of where she's been. She loves her books and if you don't read them to her, she gets mad and lets you know it! It's kinda cute. I have a lot of her books memorized now. Especially since she always brings the same ones to me to read to her. It's funny.
Faith is needing speech therapy and will be getting it once a month. Not sure when it will start. Probably within the next week or two. She was evaluated by 2 people and both agreed that speech therapy would be good for her. They don't think it will take her long to catch up. Hopefully within a few months. She is doing just fine otherwise. They evaluated her as a 12 month old and they said her comprehension is at the 17 month level! How cool is that?!?! We have a genius on our hands!!! LOL They were happy with how she is doing otherwise. And her speech is only a few months behind and mostly due to the fact that she had a cleft palatte. So we are thankful for programs that can help her at this age so hopefully in the future she won't need speech therapy. We are praying that by the time she is 2 years old she will be caught up!

Enjoying Our 4-Day Weekend

We had a GREAT weekend! James didn't have to work Friday or Monday so we enjoyed a nice 4-day weekend. Was so nice to be able to have nice solid family time. On Friday we just hung low. Didn't do much of anything. Saturday we cleaned out the gutters, cut down some more of the tree that got stuck by lightening back in July, and also cleaned out the garage. Faith slept thru most of that but once she was up, she enjoyed being outside with us. She just loves the outdoors! Sunday we went to my parents house for lunch as my brother was in town. We spent all afternoon and evening there. We arrived home just in time to put Faith to bed. We were also able to visit with some friends that were in town. Was so great to see them and meet their new addition to the family!! Monday we went to my parents house again for lunch and then we went out to my aunt's house to spend time with the horses. That was wonderful! I brought out my saddle and tried it on one of the horses and then we sat Faith up on the horse. She enjoyed it. I have big plans for her and horses. She's going to be my barrel racing gal! One just never knows! In the evening we had a nice visit with James's parents. Faith was getting cranky a little bit so I felt bad that she cried occasionally but I think I know why. Not only was she tired last night, but also not feeling well. She woke up all stuffed up and snot running down her face. So my poor precious peanut has a bad cold! We had a rough night. She kept on waking up as she couldn't breath. No temp though so that's good.
Overall our weekend was good. Went by too quickly though. Which always happens! We hope that everyone had a good weekend as well.
