New Blog Beginning

So.... I haven't blogged in forever. I want this blog to be a positive one that details my children's lives so that it can be a digital scrapbook. So, I am starting anew. I can't possibly detail all that has happened since my last blog. We are still ill from the chronic carbon monoxide poisoning from our old house. It is quite depressing actually, but I don't like to talk about it, so I am not going to detail our health problems here. I just ask that all of you pray for healing for me and my family. That being said- I will focus on the POSITIVE> we lived through it, ongoing health problems and all. There are days where our symptoms are just similar to sinus pressure, then there are days where we literally cannot function normally and all we do is just the basics to get through the day. We try our best to push ourselves despite feeling bad/sick to do whatever we can to raise our children and still enjoy activities that all children should enjoy.

This Fall has been super. Breathing fresh air, making fall crafts, teaching Cutie Pants about Fall, enjoying God's beautiful creation with His beautiful colors that He created and just enjoying simplicity. Sassy and Sweetie are playing soccer again this Fall and Smarty is playing hockey once again. Cutie WAS potty trained for about a week, but he regressed and we are working on it once again. We now have a sweet puppy (an Australian Silky- a cross between a Yorkie and Australian Terrier) named MacDuffie- we call him Duffie. He is the best dog. Love him so much!

Sassy loves her new school and first grade so much and has a sweet, sweet friend that we have had over for sleepovers twice now and we have had a blast with them at the zoo for Halloween, dinner, etc...Sassy's report card was perfecto and she is really excelling. She reads on almost a second grade level and we are so proud of her!

Sweetie is doing well in school as well with a great report card and a responsibility award at school! She definitely is our most responsible child. She is our mother hen! She has grown so much! She looks like a fifth grader!

Smarty is so smart, yet like most boys his age (11)- he is a little spacy at times, so his grades could be a little better, but he is sooo smart. He is still a phenomenal goalie and he can carry on a conversation with an adult for hours on end. It is amazing the knowledge that he has.

Cutie has started Mothers' Day Out two times a week and he loves his "coolll". I have sooo many "cutie-isms" that he says. I will start to blog them on another blog post, because I am writing them down so as not to forget. We are sooo close to having him out of pull-ups and I HOPE that we can get it done soon!

Funny Pants is working harder than ever and I am proud, proud wife! He is a wonderful husband and we are about to celebrate our fourth wedding anniversary next week. He has really been helpful around the house as I...

have launched my PR firm and am amazed at the number of clients that have contacted me to help them launch products, promote events and handle press inquiries. I am trying to find that balance that all working mothers try to find. I pray daily that God will lead me in this venture.

We are learning to ride a real big-girl bike, learning to swing a bat at a ball, learning ABC's, playing with all of the neighbor kids (love, love, love the neighbors) and Funny and I try to make time for each other. We recently went to Chateau Elan for our anniversary and Super Nanny stayed with Cutie pants for a few days.

So, stay tuned and follow us to learn more about the Napier Bunch...
