Twins and a Tot

    So we've been passing strep throat around the house for about a week and a half now. Carsen had it first and now Cam has it. I hope Aiden doesn't get it. I have a bad throat this morning so I'm praying that I'm not about to get it. I have not had strep since I was a child. Those darn penicillin shots were enough back then, much less now. All my children are allergic to penicillin so they don't get them. Pray we are all well soon!

    We closed on selling our house last Friday and we now have money in the bank. Praise God! Now we have a lot picked out in North Brandon Estates and we're just trying to make sure that this is what we are supposed to do. It's a beautiful lot! I love it! I am hoping that we will be in our own home by this time next year.

    Aiden and the girls are so funny playing together. Carsen and Aiden get along great, and Camden shakes her finger and just fusses at them both. I guess we know who the bossy butt will be! She's so funny. You can't understand a word of it but you know from the inflection and tone of her voice that she means business. She's so cute! Carsen is a very sensitive child. She gets her feelings hurt if she's not included here lately. She's very protective of her sister. Their teach says that she pushes Cam around, but doesn't let anyone else mess with her. I think that's great and I hope they always take care of each other. Carsen is also really particular about her toys. She used to give up what she was playing with if Aiden wanted it. We would always make him give her something else to see if she'd let him 'take a turn' with what she has. Well, she's caught on and now she is fierce. She will growl and squeal if you try and take things from her. Cam is still pretty easy going when it comes to toys. She will let you do whatever.

    Aiden is truly a little man now. The potty training is going great. He pooped on the potty a good bit this week. The first time he got to go get a toy at Wal-Mart. He is also wearing big boy underwear while at school. He's done this some at home, but not as much. I'm still a little weary about the possibility of him peeing or pooping on the carpet since we are in Mom and Dad's house...not ours. But we are making great strides! I think we'll be completely there by his b'day in December for sure!

    Well, I'm working this weekend. There has to be a social worker on call so here I am. Nothing going on so I'm gonna go look at house plans some more. YEAH! Pray that all goes well for us as we take on this new adventure. Building is just another step in life for us and we're ready to take it. I'll update as we go!

    Love,
    Mandye
