The Olsen Crew

Ok, so I know that I do not write. Mostly it is because I am trying to catch my kids, or catch up on the housework, or sleep. I have felt the worst during this pregnancy than any other and it doesn't allow a lot of time to do blogs. Plus, I sometimes am a perfectionist and don't want to do something, unless I know I can contribute a lot of time to and make it exactly as I want it, but oh well.

I will write just for you Merilee!

Things have been going great for the baby despite the awful feelings I have had. He (we think maybe John Ross will be his name) was breech for awhile, but has turned around now. So once again, a textbook pregnancy is about to end in a couple of weeks.

I have tried not to get to anxious this last month, but I think that happens no matter what, so I am feeling like I need to go in a week (ha!).

Eryn is doing really great in school and still loves it. She is continuing to learn how to read and loves her teacher Mrs. Mendoza. I think any thoughts I ever had about homeschooling the kids, she has dispelled that thought (at least for her), because I think others would do a better job of teaching her. I think she would not be happy at home learning. She needs to be able to be social at the same time.

Rachel is excited about her brother coming and always asks about him. She loves to give him hugs and kisses all the time. She is also learning how to read and actually enjoys learning. I think she may become "the cutest nerd". She really does love to explore and learn.

Grant is still Grant! Boys really are a different breed from girls, but so much fun! I love watching him play and explore and grow. I am a little concerned for when little brother comes because I think that there may be some jealous feelings there, but I am sure we will make it through.

See....really boring around our household. Well....at least Danny can make things seem interesting and fun. Love ya babe!

Oh, and I would have to say that Danny would be the best superhero of all time. No explanation needed.....
