Long time no Blog~

Wow! what a couple of weeks. The craziest thing has just been trying to get over the viral colds and coughs that has been lingering and lingering. Of course this has caused many late nights and some all nighters. Combine this with still having to take care of everybody and a household and keeping up on the jobs and you have an exhausted family!



The tooth fairy came but the pictures are not downloaded yet, sorry. But there is another loose tooth now! Austin is doing great. He is loving school and loves going to soccer every Saturday.

We could right a book about all of funny things that come out of Jeffrey's mouth. The last couple weeks it has been:
"Woah! That scared my life!"
"Holy cow! That scared my crap out!"
"Mom, who made us?"
"Mom, what makes us talk?"

Yikes! This boy thinks too much already. :)

Many of you know already but Josh was officially diagnosed with having diabetes. He was going in to have a DOT physical and they found sugar in his urine. So they did a blood test. Well, his sugar was too high for their monitor to read so his blood had to be taken to the hospital to be tested. Three and a half hours later we finally got the results. Yep, diabetes. We have learned a lot in the last few weeks and we are definitely going to have to learn to eat differently. Who knew that Spaghetti wasn't a good meal? Too many carbs. Carbs equal sugar. Ya, we love sweets and comfort food. So we have a lot of learning to do.

I am so proud of you guys for all you do for your family! Josh take care of yourself so those boys have someone to make fun of. Amber, take care of those boys so they can take care of you someday! You've earned it! You guys are without a doubt my best friends.

Man, sorry about the diabetes. I've realized that with being a mom comes a nursing degree too--only problem is you don't get paid for it :) Hang in there. The tough weeks are overwhelming, but the good days make up for it. Say hi to Granny for me ;)
