Dave started class on Tuesday when we got home from vacation... He has Anatomy & Phisiology II this semester (Summer Semester) and he will be going every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30 - 8:30. I really hate that we will not be able to see him for those two days every week, but he is working toward a goal, and sacrifices have to be made :). I'm still so proud of him for what he is doing for himself and our family. Please keep him in your prayers as he works and goes to school long hours this semester.

Cadence is doing great... she comes up with new stuff every day that makes me laugh. I can't make the kid take a nap anymore, so around 5-6 o'clock every day she starts getting giggly and half-crazed to try to stay awake. She will crack you up with what she does then... it's like her own little Twilight Zone time. We are still not making much progress in the potty training area... she just refuses to do it and I haven't been pushing her. I guess I keep telling myself that she'll do it when she gets ready......... Mentally, she is at the top of her game. She counted to 12 the other day before going straight to 15 :) and she can now tell you what city and state we live in. And I can't fool her with anything - My mom was getting on to her in the car this weekend and told her she could either straighten up or we could turn around and go home, so she said "Yes, my want to go home, take me home Nana!" We were both laughing at that one for a while.

Tatum is doing really well besides the teeth thing. She is still doing her "Army Crawl" on her arms and belly. She is babbling and is still just as loving and smiley as ever. She is a huge flirt with men too ♥. She has also started giving me "Baby Kisses"... you know the ones - big, open-mouthed, slobbery - basically the best kisses ever :). I can't get enough of them! And she is still a Momma's girl which makes me happy too.

Me... I'm peachy keen as always. Still living the slogan "I love my life as a Mommy and wife". I'm amazed every single day at the blessings God has given me. I am SO undeserving, and find it so hard to forgive myself of things even though I know that He has forgiven me. God is good ALL the time, and I'm so glad that he loves and blesses me.
