a little catch up on these four!

My blogging has really taken a backseat these days...sorry for the lack of posts. I'm still trying to get into a groove (if it's even possible) to having four kids! Life is great for us, here's a few pictures to show what we've been up to!
Sam is 3 months old already! I love the pictures Jessica Greenfield (one of my preschool mom's) took. She did a great job of capturing little man's personality!
Sam's had a really bad cold for about 2 weeks, his cough has been horrible! I've taken him in twice to the dr, he's had a chest x-ray, RSV swab as well as thorough exams and it's just a virus. He's now sleeping a nice 5-6 hour stretch at night, nursing well, and weighed in at 12 lbs 9 oz... hard to believe Maddie was almost 5 months old by the time she weighed this and she'd undergone 2 heart surgeries already. He's smiling lots now and loves to chat with us. He cries more than I remember the other's crying...but has figured out he gets what he wants this way! Spoiled possibly?Jace had his pine wood derby last week for Scouts...his Greenbay Packer car won "The Sportiest" award but that's about it... he won one race. He's been playing basketball on Saturdays and during a couple of half-time Varsity games. That's been fun to watch!Cade celebrated his 100th day of Kindergarten last week! Yep, he's 100 days smarter! I loved going into his classroom to help with the fun centers. Kindergartners are so dang cute and Cade is a great little student!Maddie is loving preschool...our field trip to the fire station last week was lots of fun. Maddie is a social girl and enjoys having all of the kids come to her basement for preschool. She's made tons of progress and I love having the opportunity to teach her. This week begins CHD Awareness Week and I'm planning on posting something new each day to celebrate CHD and promote awareness. Stay tuned for more posts...

I was just thinking today that it's been since before Sam was born that we've talked. Wow! But, as you've already said, life is busy with 4. Thanks for the update. Take care. Maddie looks really big and she's being such a little mamma! Take care.
