Monday Update A Day Late

I know I usually post on Monday mornings, but I was gone all morning for blood work and then a doctor visit. I was out the door at 6:00am, off to curves to workout and then to Groton for the rest of the morning. Dave stayed home with the trio and I got home right before nap. I was exhausted and took a nap myself! Turns out that I am fighting off something as today my throat is killing me and my voice is awful. I have a couple things to tell you so I'll get to it!

YOU ARE INVITED ----
I hope you noticed the March for Babies widget on the side of the blog. We are planning on walking in Groton in April and would love for you join our team: Got Triplets? and walk with us! If you are not local we would love to have you sponsor us! Just click the link and you can help! This is a cause that is very near to us since the trio arrived almost 7 weeks early. Remember this - I think it says it all!






I have other HUGE news! We are going to look at 4 bedroom houses near base on Thursday! Dave finally got the letter we needed to accept housing! WOOHOO!!!! He still does not have his final set of orders, but we can move into housing with the letter. I am soo excited and nervous. It seems like this will all happen very quickly and there is a ton to do! (as if I was not already busy with 3 toddlers!LOL)I will take photos of the new place and update you all on Thursday!

Lucas' New Haircut

We decided to let Lucas choose his new haircut as a reward for the great report card. I usually make him get a "normal" regular boy haircut, but he has wanted a Mohawk for quite some time. I was thinking about this summer, but since he did so well, Dave and I decided that if he wanted the haircut he could get it now. I think it will need to grow on me, but it is actually kinda cool. What do you think?



He really loves it and can't wait to show it off at school on Monday! We also told him that if his grades keep improving, I need to see A's and B's, he can get the new pet lizard that he really, really wants! He has been researching bearded dragons and is very excited. (What was I thinking?) LOL

Just had to Share!

Logan fell asleep eating lunch, so afterwards Will had to go make sure he was OK! LOL

What else can I report -

Will is getting his 4TH molar in and is extra cranky and clingy - hope it doesn't last too much longer. That brings him to 12 teeth! Jess has 8 and poor Logan has 6.

We had to take everyone's cribs down to the lowest level. They look funny, but I feel better that everyone can not reach over the edge anymore. I have a funny feeling that crib tents are in our very near future!

Dave finished our taxes and is filing them today. We are getting a nice chunk of change back so I am looking forward to buying a choo choo wagon and picnic table for the trio, some new clothes for Lucas that he really needs and then paying off some bills. I am also still hopeful that our move to Groton will be very soon, so I will keep some tucked away for moving expenses!

I am having more blood work done on Monday along with a quick procedure to rule out any major issues, so Dave got the day off work to take care of the trio. Most people take a day off work to relax, but poor Dave is going to be very busy! LOL The doc I talked with seemed to think I have a problem with insulin resistance. I hope to know more at the end of the month as all the lab work comes back and I meet with her to discuss what the next step should be.

It is finally supposed to get a little warmer here so maybe we will venture out of the house soon! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Lucas and School

Lucas and school have had a rough relationship the last few years. We really noticed him having more and more trouble as he got into tougher grades. We almost kept him back after 4Th grade and discussed it again in 5Th grade, but along with his teachers decided it was better to keep him advancing. Homework has been a major issue. He hates doing it, and at times assignments that should take 30 minutes were taking over and hour to complete. Homework has counted for more of his grades and his grades have been getting lower because of it. There have been many fights over homework both missed assignments and lost ones and many tears shed by both him and me over the years. This year was no different. He started off strong, but with the
1st progress report trouble was brewing. His report card came - A's in electives like band and gym, but a B-, C and 2 D's in the major classes. I was wondering what we were going to do, feeling helpless and lost and thinking that we made a huge mistake in letting him advance again. Then we got the ADD diagnosis and started medication. He also started staying after for extra help. We got his report card for the second term and there has been HUGE improvements! He received A+ in band and gym, A in Tech Ed, B- in Science, Social Studies, and Language Arts, and a C- in Math! There were no D's and the C- was very close to a C and one B- was only 0.10 away from a solid B. We are so proud of him! I thought that both the medication and the extra help were really paying off and this proves it! Way to Go Lucas!

Monday Morning Photo Frenzy!

Since I really don't have much to update, I thought I would share photos since that is what everyone really wants anyway! These are all taken last week - bath time, visit from Mackenzie, hanging around the house, and 1st trip to Chuck E Cheese. Enjoy!
