Sooooo, last weekend we finally made it up to Ohio to see my brand new nephew! And oh my gosh is he a cutie! The first time I held him, I started to think about wanting another. Ok, I'll be honest, the day he was born I started thinking that I wanted another one, holding him just made it a stronger feeling. I've been trying to convince my husband that we need another baby. His answer is absolutely a no, which has been the same feeling I've had since we had Zander. I love my boys...more than anything.....but my pregnancies and deliveries were VERY difficult. It's just not something Adam and I want to go through again. By the end of the weekend, I realized why we were certain we were done having children. Two is just a good number for us. Don't get me wrong, I feel the number of children a family decides to have it a personal choice and I think large families are amazing and wonderful. My best friend has four kids, which is large by some standards, small by others....and I L-O-V-E the Duggars!!! But for us, two is good. I still hold out some hope that Adam will have a change of heart in a few years and we can adopt, but I'm not sure my body can handle another baby and I'm fairly certain that Adam and I don't want to take that chance.

But my nephews are so very precious! :) I'm such a lucky aunt!!

This week has been a pretty average week. Nothing much going on. It's been cold here in Kintuck so we haven't been out much. Adisson's been enjoying a fun week of school. His reading is getting better and better. He still sometimes forgets what he's supposed to do when he gets to the end of a sentence....like a period....he doesn't always stop long enough before moving on to the next sentence so they kind of run on. Don't know where he gets that.... :) but we're working on it. School is usually pretty light for us most days. Technically Adisson is supposed to be in Kindergarten, though he's definitely on a first grade level in nearly everything, and he can read at a third grade level, but we still say Kindergarten. Sometimes I feel like I should push him harder, other times I feel like we should just take it easy and enjoy being a little kid....he'll have plenty of time to learn more when he's a little older....but I'm not sure what path I should be following. So in the meantime, we take it easy. :)

Today we're going to be doing a few science expirements, because Adisson loves science. I don't really because I don't understand it usually (not that bright when it comes to science). He got some really neat science kits for Christmas and I'd like to do some of those expirements today, hopefully every Friday.

This week I also decided to kick my Mt. Dew habit. Cold turkey. I don't mean I'll never drink Mt. Dew again, but I was drinking it all day, everyday. Seriously. That's all I had. So now I'm having juice and tea. I'm on Day Three of No Dew. :) It's going fine. Yesterday I was pretty exhausted. Mt. Dew has like more caffieine than any other regular soft drink so the crash coming down off of that was a big one! :) Last night the boys were being a handful as they were going to bed so I was getting a little short with them, all the while thinking...."Oh, I want a soda!!" :) But so far so good. :) Besides, Iced Tea is yummy! And still has caffeine! :)

I've gotta fold clothes and get the table set up for science. Later!
