Keeping Busy Again

Even though I am a stay-at-home mom and Shane has this "time off", time is still flying by for me. I can't believe I am two days away from being 30 weeks pregnant. I can't believe Dylan is two days away from a week until his 7th birthday. I can't believe that Lincoln continues to find new forms of destruction in our home. I can't believe that Danielle is talking about college and her future. Where in the world has the time gone? 
Spring break is coming up for Dylan next month (which happens to be the same week Shane is in Reno for the big panel meeting) so we are trying to figure out what kind of stuff we want to do while Daddy is gone. I've been nesting quite a bit which is nice to get some projects done but I also keep wearing myself out, or the combination of two already active boys adds as well. Lincoln is officially moved into the "Big Boys Room" meaning Shane and I will have a room to ourselves for about two months. 
We also have decided on the name Warner for baby boy #3. We are still working on the middle name and have it down to four contenders but I figure I won't push it right now since Shane finally agreed that the middle name Shane just wasn't going to fly again. Now to continue to pray for a healthy baby and stop obsessing over getting everything organized and stock piled.
 Dylan drew on his face the other day when he was pretending to be a football player and a few hours later Lincoln came out of somewhere with his forehead nice and decorated too. Oh man at least it wasn't the fridge with a sharpie again.

 Enjoying a nice snack of raw veggies and ranch in front of the tv. Why yes my belly does make a nice shelf for holding things. I do believe that is cowboy Lincoln eating a raw orange pepper. Luckily he is a good eater.

 Shane decided it was finally time to get rid of our old rickity coat tree that Baby Destructor kept pulling over and custom built two coat racks on the wall the other day. Luckily he had a great helper the whole time.

 Picture taken about two weeks ago. Man I just keep growing. Luckily this has been a really mild pregnancy compared to what it could be, my only complaints are back aches and heartburn.

 As mentioned above Lincoln loves to help and be involved in whatever we are doing. Here he is just lounging in his old baby car seat. I still can not believe he has grown so much in the last year and a half!

Wow so obviously I am not great a catching everyone at their best but I love this picture. Dylan rides the bus to school and here the boys are waiting for me to walk them out. Lincoln likes to go out and wave to the bus on days when it is not below freezing (still!) or when we aren't rushing to get there at the right time. Luckily we just have to walk down our driveway to get to the bus stop. They have gotten really close now that Lincoln can actually play better and that they are sharing a room. Even with a five year difference I love seeing them play together. It will be so great when there are three together!

Keeping up with the Sadlers

Lincoln favorite new past time, listen closely for "Dada"  Dylan had cowboy day at school and could dress up and meet "real cowboys". We live in a hick town and his school was having an assembly about the cowboy way , or having character. Yes, Lincoln's bib is purplish, but it says I Love my Sister so it's ok :)  Cute big boy outfit Auntie Jackie got Lincoln, while sticking out his tongue. I think it looks like a little pickle. Weird, another tongue shot, he does it a lot. While playing with a plush orange (like the fruit) it sort of landed like this and I thought it looked a little like a bikini top and snapped a pic. Hey you have to have fun with life right?

Soaking it all In

Because I have a bad habit of zoning out when the tv is on, I've turned it off and told myself it can't come on until a rerun of a show I wanted to see comes on at 11. I can't stay up late so I'm trying to watch shows that will rerun, which is most of them outside of the basic cable channels. So obviously instead of working on my homework about Intercultural Crossings in Indian Music while Lincoln is taking a nap, I'm on here updating you on the trivial matters of my day. A friend told me an interesting revelation the other day. "When you have a child that is an infant you are the most physically exhausted. When you have a child that is just entering school aged you are the most mentally exhausted. When you have a teenager you are the most emotionally exhausted." So the way I see it, since I have one in each category I'm basically the most exhausted I'm going to get and since I'm seeming to do ok, it's only going to get easier from here. Y...

New Moves

So I officially started feeling the baby moving around this week, Tuesday to be exact, and now I feel dancing all the time. It's pretty weird because it has been so long since I've housed a fetus and I know no one else can feel it from the outside, but it's really real. The picture I took on the left shows me holding a photo of a 17week baby to scale. It's hard to imagine something that big is fitting inside of me already :) We had the "Mom" talk today inside the Dollar Store. Danielle asked me if it was ok if she could call me Mom. She says I treat her the way a mom should treat her daughter and that made me so proud. I am so glad that even though we have our daily and weekly ups and downs that our family unit is really coming together.
