We're BAAAACK!
Huh, talk about MIA. I just realized that I haven't posted since October. Well that's just crazy so hang on...here's the updated news!
The Boys: They are growing like crazy!
Kyle is out of cross country and now into track season. He's also in football training too since he's going to play football next year instead of running cross country. Amidst all the athletics he is still taking a HUGE load of classes...this is by far his hardest year. We've been making the college inquiries - he's decided that he'd like to attend the US Naval Academy or maybe Virginia Military Institute and get his degree in engineering then join the Navy and build things around the world. We are in full support! Of course he is also considering attending SNU here in Bethany (Southern Nazarene U) to get his degree then moving into the Navy after. Either way, he'd like to become an officer.
Camdyn is doing awesome in school and loves his teachers and his friends. He is such a smarty! He's getting anxious for T-ball to come...signups are on the 31st. He is looking forward to the baby coming and likes to feel him wiggle around in my tummy.
Jacob is talking more and more all the time...including in his sleep. We can't believe how much he has to say for one so little. We're working on the potty training...it goes day by day! His newest love is dress up - spiderman, star wars, batman...doesn't matter as long as he can be in a costume and play superhero.
Baby Cardwell is a boy. Yep, another boy to add to the clan. Ron says he now has a full basketball team. We are still deciding a name but think we finally have decided on Evan David. I am still recovering from the shock of being pregnant AND him being a boy. Familiar territory for me though so that's a relief!
Now the rest of the news:
We added another member to the four legged children - our pup, Geoffrey. He's a cutie - a red heeler mix who is very smart and loves to play with Hendrix. They are always together wrestling or snuggling up to sleep. They keep the 2 legged boys busy too!
Ron's work is going well. He's been travelling a lot to the Tulsa area during the week to manage the CVS pharmacy projects that Jacobs is in charge of. He goes to Ft Worth every couple of weeks for the projects too. Those are usually overnight trips so he can make the most of the required meetings and get them all done at once.
The house is in the process of repainting. I've decided to finally put my signature on it by painting the living room/kitchen a soft yellow and the dining room a dark barn red. I've painted stripes and one color wall in the baby's room and will soon move on to painting Cam and Jake's room. We are looking forward to the weather warming up more so we can get started on some outside projects. Ron designed an awesome fort for the kids that they are anxious to help Daddy build and we will soon get the concrete done around the house and in the back so we have nice sidewalk for the kids to ride bikes on and so we have more room for the table, bbq and such outside. This fall we hope to start in on the addition of rooms and a bath upstairs. The impending arrival of Cardwell child #4 makes it necessary to gain a bit more room for kids and visiting guests.
As for me, well I am busy being pregnant, chasing around the boys, keeping up with the family schedule and trying to find time to scrapbook. It's no wonder that the blog fell behind lately...I was horribly sick with morning sickness for 3 months but am feeling much better now so back to updating everyone I go!!!
Blessings to you all...we miss and love you!
