Finally got the pictures taken!

Well it's been a long time again since I have posted. Sorry! Last weekend we did have the 12 year old boy that I told you all about and boy was it a busy weekend trying to keep him busy. We did have a lot of fun with him but he definitely has way more energy than any of us! TJ ended up spending the weekend with his mom so he didn't have TJ to hang out with and was really disappointed with that and he also could not quit talking about how bad he wanted to move in with us. I just kept having to remind him that we were going to have a great weekend and enjoy the time he had here. We really didn't go do much the whole weekend and just stayed in and relaxed. Scott has been talking to a friend who helps at a gym in town that does martial arts training and decided he wanted to go and try it out. Tuesday afternoon Scott and Tj went down to this gym and tried it and really liked it. They are trying to convince me to join. Tomorrow they will go again and try it out. I am sure they will end up joining and when they do it will be for our whole family. As of now I am not really sure I will ever go but should probably at least go see what its all about and who knows maybe Haley and I will like it too. Thursday we did finally go to our appointment to get the family pictures taken. It was a long evening but we did get some great pictures! I hate getting pictures and when its all done I am usually happy with the outcome at least. Keely's hair too 4 hours total to do this time but it turned out so cute and lets hope it will last at least a month before I have to redo it. I am sure some of you can't possibly understand how she would let us work on it for 4 hours. We had to do it in 4 hour and fifteen minute sessions and she did so good! She's so tough when it comes to getting her hair done compared to Tate. Tate doesn't even want you to tug a little on her head and Keely can take so much before she even starts to fuss. During hair time we have found it's easiest to sit the girls at the table and let them color or read books to them and that helps a lot. Snacks do wonders too! I have been sick this week with sinus trouble again and had to go back to the doctor to get more antibiotics and steroids for my sinuses. I am feeling 100% better today and can actually breath. They aren't sure why I keep having problems with my sinuses but if I don't get better soon and stay better I will have a scan done on my sinuses. They think there may be polyps in there causing all the trouble. I was just sick with the same thing in August so it wasn't too long ago. At least I am better now and I am so thankful we live in Lincoln where there are urgent care clinics open till 10pm that way I can go to the doctor after the girls have gone to bed. Friday Haley had a friend over after school and so did Tj. We all went out for supper then took Tj and his friend skating like usual on Fridays. Today we got around and went to Walmart to get groceries then I spent the afternoon cooking chili. Tj and his friend went with Tj's mentor to the wildlife safari that is between Lincoln and Omaha and had a good time. When they got back Tj went to spend the evening with his mom. Haley is having a friend over tonight and they are watching movies and eating popcorn and M&M's. Tate and Keely are doing good and actually have stayed healthy over the last week. Tate isn't doing too well eating again. Actually some days she does OK but she has grown taller again and really is so thin again. We go back to our feeding and growth appointment the 29th and she has her 3 year check on the 21st so I am sure someone will have something to say about her weight but lets hope not. At the end of the month Haley and Tj have a week off of school so they are looking forward to that. Tate can't quit talking about her birthday that is coming up and wants Dora everything! Guess that is all I know for now and hope you enjoy the pictures!
