I have been such a procrastinator when it has come to finishing the downstairs. What got me in the mood to finally do it was Chris telling me that he was going to finish it on Saturday if I didn't. Needless to say I got my butt in gear and finished it yesterday. I have to say I am very pleased. When I get done putting pictures up on the walls I will take pictures and post them. I don't know how to put pictures on this thing so I will have to leave it in the hands of my hubby.
The kids are all finally well. I am so burned out on illness. When kids are sick it sure puts dampers in your plans to do other things.
Chris has been really busy with work. I hardly see him during the week. I look forward to the weekends.
Sloane (Sloane had to show me how she could type her name and how she has learned finger placement).
We are looking forward to having Kim and Steve here for a little bit this weekend and next. We always love it when company comes to visit.
I have been fighting insomnia lately and sleeping pills do not help. Lately I have been getting up at 3:30am and start cleaning house or other little tasks. From 5-6:30 am I go to the gym come home and shower and then gets kids ready for school and out the door. I try not to take a nap during the day. But when 10pm comes I am dead tired but as soon as I lay down I am wide awake until 11 or so and then I fall asleep again until about 3 or 4 am. Now that Holden pretty much sleeps during the night I have to deal with this now. Any suggestions?
Tevin is doing really well with his guitar lessons. He is embarrassed to play infront of people. He tells me when he gets better he will.
Harrisons birthday is coming up and I can't believe he is going to be 12. ALL he wants for his birthday is a laptop and a base guitar. He doesn't give us much options.
Chandler is doing really well. He has been enjoying hanging out with his friends lately. Every night he likes to go out and play night games and he is so proud to announce that he has now shaved for the first time. He wouldn't let me take pictures. Oh well.
Sloane is pretty much perfect. We don't ever have any problems with her. I wonder if that means she is going to be a very hard teenager. She loves school. She doesn't want summer to come. Unlike her mother who is ready to relax.
OH now for our Holden. He is our demon seed. He is into everything and is very mischievious.
He loves to throw things off our balcony. He actually threw a statue that meant a lot to me off it and broke it into a million pieces. But then there are those moments when he hugs us and tells us he loves me so I guess that makes up for all the bad things and stress he brings to our lives.
Well I better go and watch the cubs with Chris. Hopefully when get pictures on sometime this weekend since Chris will have time. Love to all

Fun to hear an update. Sorry about your insomnia. Have you tried going off caffeine? I have to take Excedrine almost every morning for my headaches. I can't have any type of caffeine after about 3 or 4pm, otherwise I cannot go to sleep at night. Can't wait to see you guys again (sometime!)
See you tomorrow!! Tell Tevin I want to hear him play. Sorry about your insomnia. Luckily I've never had that problem. E&E are SO excited to see Sloane!! And can't wait to see your finished family room.
"Demon Seed"- ha! I completely understand the destructiveness and stress that little boys can bring! It is worth it somehow, isn't it? :) I am excited to see pictures of your family room! I laughed that you did it since Chris threatened to do it. It's the opposite with Dustin and I! He won't let me near a paint brush... I hope you start sleeping better soon! Dustin suffers with insomnia and finally had to start taking sleeping pills. But maybe a half of a pill would be helpful and not so strong. At least you are getting things done while not sleeping! :) Have fun this weekend with Kim and Steve. I hope Harrison has an awesome birthday!
Great to read about the accomplishment of finishing the family room! I bet it is really great and you got it done in time for company.
So sorry that I didn't get to visit down your way. But I was so glad to get home and feel like I was gone a little too long. The house looked great and so did Dad!
So glad that the kids are well. Just hope that you can keep them that way. Sounds like everyone is making good progress - even little Holden (mischief making, that is). We love you all and are glad to hear from you again.
