5 on Friday

 
Linking up with April, Christina, Natasha and Darci this afternoon for 5 on Friday! No rules, just pick 5 things and share them!
1. Lent. I'm thinking about this season in two ways. The first by sacrifice or discipline, and to that end I am giving up my snooze button and sweets. The second way I am thinking about the season is by enriching my Spiritual life (also part of my yearly/monthly goals). To that end, I am doing the Naptime Diaries 40 days with Jesus devotional as well as a 40 day reading plan through the book of Concord with two friends from my church. I am hopeful for the growth that can happen in 40 days!


2. Avett Brothers Pandora. I've recently gotten back into the habit of listening to music while cooking and this station has been one the whole family enjoys. Variety includes Of Monsters and Men, Mumford & Sons and Fleet Foxes. 


3. Giving up the Pull-Ups. I don't think I posted about it, but we did the 3-day Potty Training boot camp with Canon back in July, 2 months before he turned 3. He easily got it during the day, but I wasn't ready to trade the diapers for sheet laundry every morning, so we went to pull-ups. We haven't talked much about it and honestly, I didn't see them ending any time soon. I don't regulate his liquid intake before bedtime and he definitely wasn't waking up dry. However, the most recent pack we bought were too tight, so this past Wednesday I gave him the choice to give up his storytime cup for no pull-up and he chose no pull-up! Now, he did not wake up dry the next morning, BUT this morning he did! I heard him at 6:10am go to the bathroom, then back into his room to lay down until his clock turned green at 6:45am. He excitedly came out and said he was dry! Hooray! This still means I need to watch what he drinks at night, but I'm so proud of him!!! 


4. Superbowl Winners! This cute picture of my little Broncos fans. Canon was born in Denver the year that Peyton started with them, so it makes sense that is where our allegiance lies. 

Making his Valentine's Day box
5. Preschool Valentine's Day. Love it SO much! All the fun of Christmas parties, but without the added pressure of amazing teacher gifts! We got some chocolates for the teachers, some Avenger Valentine's for class and I ordered Papa John's Pizza for the party. Success! 


Bonus: Canon had his "interview" for Jr-Kindergarten at Immanuel last week and it went super well! He'll be in a class with these two sweet boys who got to play a lot at our Annual Chili Cook-Off last weekend!

Baby Boy #3!

We are expecting baby boy #3 and since I documented a good amount of my pregnancies with the older two, I want to at least start off giving this one the same treatment! I am due May 25th, though he'll probably come around the 18th by c-section. We found out in my 18 week appointment that we were having a boy and I can honestly say I've been super excited since. With two older brothers already ruining, I mean running, the house, I'm happy to bring another boy into our crazy. This pregnancy will always be remembered by having to have my gall bladder removed at week 11. As soon as I hit 6 weeks I started having intense gall bladder pain. I've dealt with gall stones since Canon was born, but they were always singular events that would pass in about 4 hours, and this pain was consistent and all day/night long. The doctors I saw encouraged me to manage it with diet and hope to get to 16 weeks before discussing surgery. I tried everything, which pretty much meant eating noth...

His and Hers

Aaron has officially started his second year of seminary! To commemorate, I thought I'd paste the answers to some questions we were both recently asked. A way to get an idea of both sides of our life right now. My answers: How did you spend your summer?  We had the best summer! Aaron took Hebrew in June and July, and I had my first summer as a stay at home mom. We went to the beach, pool, the library, visited Chicago and came to Alexandria twice!!  What are you most looking forward to (in your 2nd year at Seminary)?  The “cloud” over the 2nd year is getting ready for our vicarage. We’ll meet with the placement director in October and will find out the location in April! So there will be lots of hypothetical conversations, wishlists and prayers leading up to that!  Otherwise, I’m excited that we’ll be just minutes away from our church and school. I hope to get our whole family to matins more weekdays than not and Canon will begin a first communion class this ...

Fort Wayne Fun!

To be honest, when Aaron told me we were likely moving to Fort Wayne, Indiana....I wasn't thrilled at the geographical part of that statement. I didn't know much about the midwest and thought that Fort Wayne was a tiny town with lots of cows, corn and not much else. Thankfully, I was wrong! Fort Wayne is actually awesome. There are TWO Chick-fil-a's, lots of parks and playgrounds, rivers that run through, an awesome Children's zoo and much more. Here just a quick snapshot of some of the fun we've had this summer in Indiana. Camping - friends invited Aaron and the big boys on their first overnight tent camping experience! This state park was just 45 minutes from our house. I came up with the littles, then left way late to sleep in our own beds! The next morning they got to canoe! Hiking - we had a goal of hiking each Saturday morning that was free this summer, and we succeeded twice! Once in town, and once just about an hour away. So fun to be in the ...
