Now that the cruise story is done, I can get on with what has been going on around the house. Lots!

Austin
~~~~~~~~
Austin is doing good in school. We just had an open house to attend at his school. Went ok, the teacher says he excels in math, and is doing better and better at reading. Though she did bring up a concern about his hyperness, and getting distracted easily. But, we will work on this at home too. They had hat day at school and Austin wanted to where his Nassau, Bahamas bucket hat. It was a "must" to wear he said. Haa! Crazy kid. Now the only major problem we are having is trying to get him to clean his room. He knows how to do it, he just doesn't want to. So I am off to walmart this weekend to buy rubbermaid storage containers to start boxing up stuff. He was told that if he doesn't take care of his things they would be put away, and no new toys will be bought. Sounds too tuff? Well, if you could see this room you would understand. He is almost 7 and needs to take care of the things he has. In a way I think he has too much junk in that room, and we are going to down size. Same goes with Noah's stuff. It is a yearly thing right before birthdays. If we didn't downsize the bedroom would be running over with toys.

Noah
~~~~~~
Yeah, well he keeps us on our toes. The potty training thing, is a on again off again situation. I just can't get the nerve to let him run naked in the house. I would have to buy stock in steam cleaner solutions. But he wants to run naked just for the pure enjoyment of it, I think. Thank God for the steam cleaner though, or my house would have poo stains and smells in it this past week. UGH!

His favorite sayings are:
"HI Honey!" "oh crap!" "I hungry" "please, thank you" and much more. But those are some of the ones I can think of right now. The oh crap has only happened a couple times. Not my favorite one, but that is mine and Don's fault. I guess it could be worse. We bought him the CUTEST sketchers shoes the other day. They are so dang cute!

STRESS IN THE HOUSE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don's heart situation is no better. He has been having major chest pains, we went to the ER this week, and after many tests, they have found nothing yet. We were told to contact his cardio doctor the next day, yesterday. And we did, but after 3 calls to the dr. office no one ever called back. I am pissed about this! So next Monday we are getting a new cardio doctor.

Because of the hectic life right now, I don't know how much I will be updating. It will all depend on how hectic things get around here.
