Updates (finally!)

Once again, it's been an entire month since I've posted anything here!! Time just gets away from me ;) That and I was busy with teaching classes... Finals week was last week, so now I may have a little more time for blogging...

Updates on the kids:

Maria is doing great, getting good grades as usual :) She scored well on the Wisconsin tests, so she gets a day off of school, but as usual she decided to go that day anyway because there will be food and a party or something :) She's starting to get pretty excited about going to camp this summer!

Duncan is doing good too, potty training is going pretty well. And Maria and I have been working with him on his ABC's, counting, shapes and colors and he's getting pretty good! Here's a video clip of him singing his ABC's ;)

Here's another one where Beatrice joins in a little at the beginning. I was going to cut the video because then Duncan starts pretending like he doesn't know the alphabet song, but I'm not too skilled with the videos yet --- something to work on.

Every morning when Duncan gets up and says he has to go potty, Beatrice will jump out of bed and race him to the potty chair. We got her a potty chair of her own and she has been joining him in the mornings anyway. They may end up being potty trained around the same time!

It's just amazing how fast they grow! Beatrice started climbing up the slide on her own the other day, and she just loves it! She's starting to say a little more, but then she has her little interpreter, so she's been a little slower in talking.

And we only have about 5 weeks to go before my due date now! With the gestational diabetes I have to go in weekly for non-stress tests, ultrasounds and Dr appointments... 3 hour extravaganzas! We had our first one yesterday and everything is looking good! Baby weighs about 5lbs 11oz right now (completel average), so it looks like baby won't be huge ;) Probably somewhere around the high 7s or 8lbs?

The weather is finally turning here! Last Sat and Sun it frosted and it actually flurried Sunday morning!! But then it got up to almost 90 degrees a few days ago! Crazy weather! But it seems like the next week or so should be in the 70s! :)

Other than that, we are just looking forward to all the visitors that will be up here within the next couple/few weeks!
