I'm not going to lie, January was a LONG month! We survived it, but just barely!
The kids are all doing great and staying relatively healthy.
The babies are still loving school and changing so much every day! Tins is still the boss and Conner is still happy-go-lucky. He is starting to talk a lot more which is a blessing...and a curse! They have both entered the "Why?" phase...so that's super fun!
Thomas is great too. Still loves school, only wears athletic wear and can't understand why he is not in kindergarten yet.
Sullivan is hanging in there! To start off January, she slightly fractured the growth plate in her wrist (left hand luckily) and has been in a brace for about 2.5 weeks. The doctor said she could keep playing sports as long as she keeps the brace on. It hasn't much effected her soccer but has made basketball a bit difficult. She can't quite catch or hang on to the ball as strong as she normally can...but fingers crossed, we get to take off the brace this week and she will be pain free! She also came down with the flu last week! Luckily it was mild and she was back to school after a few days at home!
Hudson is doing great! She is really getting better and better at soccer every day and her team recently won an Indoor Tournament they played in!
She is also in full swing with her new volleyball team and she LOVES it! She improves every time she steps on the court! The first week I don't think she got one of her serves in....and last week, she got ALL but one over the net! Trust me...that is huge! She is really loving it, has a very sweet coach who plays at Belmont and is having a great time!
We were lucky enough to enjoy a quick visit from SueSue and BooBoo to celebrate my birthday which was exhausting, but fun! They managed to come to town for 2 days and see, both girls play soccer, Sullivan play basketball and Hudson play volleyball! It was a jam packed weekend!
Sadly, our January did not end on a great note. We very unexpectedly had to put our sweet pup, Makers, down last week. It was very sudden and very devastating! We are heartbroken but with time I know we will recover....we will never forget her...but we will move on eventually. She was the sweetest, goofiest, pup I knew. She loved boat rides, chasing tennis balls, chewing on fences (and doors and trim and really anything made of wood) and eating everything...but really she loved her people. She always just wanted to be close to us...in the same room, sitting in the yard watching us, in the car with us wherever we went. She had a serious case of FOMO! As sad as we are, I know that she is in a better place now and has been reunited with her best friend Maysie and I can only imagine how much fun they are having up there!
Losing Makers was gut-wrenching but in the sweet words of our 2 year old Conner, when asked where Makers is, he responds with:
"Out of town with Jesus"
And I don't think there is a better way to put it than that!
Here are a few other pictures from our Very long month of January:
