Weekly Update

Crazy is our new Normal!!!
Well this week was pretty uneventful. I decided to make Christmas gifts this year, and am busy getting them made. I don't want to give away what they are, but I will put pictures up when they open them, and send me the pictures.

Katie is busy making me crazy. She will be three in a month, and she is already going on 13. She calls me "mom" now, and can even get the annoyed teenager sound when she says it. "Mooom, I want it now." I don't know where she even picked up the "Mom" over "Mommy" but I have taken to calling her Kate because of it. It makes her laugh.

Rick worked swing shift this week, which means he left the house at 2pm and got home at 2am. We see him in the mornings, but he is gone when we get home from school. I think this is my least favorite shift. Although graves is rough since we have to be quiet. Difficult for a tantrum throwing 2 year old.

Katie is getting ready for her visit with Grammie, and maybe Auntie Dee. She can't wait for Auntie Dee to bring Grammie in a van. See Reno Trip post. I keep telling her that we are picking them up in Salt Lake City, and she says ok, and remembers for all of 3 seconds, then repeats how she thinks Grammie will get here. UGH, the cycle starts again!

Katie had a preschool assessment a couple of weeks ago and I had a conference with her teacher (I am the assistant in K's class). Katie did really well. She knows most of her letters, numbers, shapes, colors, etc. She is ahead of the game, which makes me feel relieved.

We are still looking for a house, and are hoping to see some when my mom comes next weekend. We are looking at everything, some are on lots, some have a bit of acreage. Ok 2 acres, but saying acreage sounds more land barronish.

I hope you all are doing well, and please comment below or email me when you get a chance. I like to know how everyone is doing!
Love
Amy
