We're Back!

Well, it's been awhile, sorry to all of our loyal readers out there. But, we are back now and that is what matters! We are adjusting to being a family of 4 and dealing with all the joys of divorce. Some days are harder than others, but overall we are making it through as a family. The kids are all in Baltimore right now, but many pictures will come when they get home! For now I will give you a little update on each of my beautiful babies

Andrew has become such a little man. He has really stepped up to the plate with this divorce and become such a good little helper to me. He is crazy excited to go to kindergarten in the fall. He still loves anything to do with sports. This summer was his first year playing tball and he does very well, just like every sport he plays. He really enjoys it, but keeps asking when soccer starts as that is his favorite. He absolutely loves his video games and loves if I sit and watch him play. He has struggled with the divorce. It has been hard to watch. He gets very angry sometimes and doesn't really know how to deal with it. I am doing everything I can to help him. I think that we will probably have to start counseling for him in the near future.

Joseph, my dear sweet Mo, has taken this very hard. He tells me he doesn't want to be with his dad and makes comments to Andrew that they don't have a daddy anymore. It breaks my heart. Joseph is crazy smart, and realizes a lot more than most people give him credit for. I think he knows a lot more about what is going on than anyone thinks. He is such a sweet boy. Joseph is my lover. He wants to sit and cuddle and be loved all the time. He would be completely content to sit on my lap all day long. he is getting into video games a little, but nothing like Andrew. He still loves Thomas the Tank Engine and is not a fan of sports. He played tball with Andrew this summer and tells me that he doesn't really like it, but he does it anyway b/c he is part of the team. He has said that he wants to play soccer again, so we will see in the fall. He is excited to go back to preschool this year and asks me frequently when he gets to go back.

Noodle has become the diva of all divas. She has such a strong personality already. She knows what she wants, and she gets it. She has absolutely no fear and I truly believe she thinks she is a boy. She wants to do anything her brothers do. She has formed a special bond with Mo. Many times they are inseparable. She is such a momma's girl too. The only effect I see that the divorce has had on her is that she is much more clingy to me and Lexie. She becomes very anxious if one of us is not within her sight. I think she will fare the best through it all just because she is so young. She will never remember life with her father so it won't be too much of an adjustment for her after this initial change.

Hope this is enough to keep you all going till they get back! I will post pictures as soon as I can. I have lots of old ones to get up here from the last year and I promise I will get them up as soon as I can!
Love Ya!
The Mom
