Moving

Hey all I just thought that I would let all of you know that we are moving. It is still in the city of Riverside. I am excited because it is to a bigger apartment. Kristianne is the most excited because she will finally have her own room. As she calls it "My Girl Cave". I think that now that she is 9 that she is really needing her own space to just explore being a girl without having her brothers always on top of her small space.(her bed on the bunk bed). We won't be moving until the middle of August but it will at least be before school starts for the kids. I now have a 2nd and a 4th grader.
I'm having a hard time being a mother of a nine year old. She is growing up way too fast for me. I still want the sweet innocent little girl that seemed to need me more. I am glad that she is growing up because now we can do more girly things. Nails, pedicures, clothes and shoe shopping and even getting our ears pierced. I am trying to convince her that it is fun and that the pain doesn't last all that long.

Well Noah has learned to ride his bike all by himself now. He just likes to have someone be down by the street to watch him but you don't need to help him at all. As is mentioned in the previous blog that Noah had 9 stitches in his forehead. He had them removed the following Wednesday. Now the scar is so minimal that as he grows we will probably not really be able to see it. So just to keep his mother on her toes...he was riding his bike on the 10th of July and came in Grandma Rogers house crying and bleeding. I was actually calm but he was about to pass out. He had fallen off his bike and somehow gotten his finger caught in the chain. It gave him a blood blister and then it ripped open. It made him go completely pale and clamy. We were just a little bit worried about him. All is well now but he has another bandaid and is swollen and sore on his left baby finger.

Jonah...Jonah...The only thing that comes to mind is Dennis the Menance. He found the circuit box in our apartment and shut the entire house down. That was the worst rolling black out that I have ever heard of because it was just in our little apartment. I told both my husband and father and they laughed. They said it was okay for them to laugh because they weren't there to get after him. Thanks...

Tom is doing well in work and is looking forward to another year in school. Maybe looking forward was too strong of an emotion. I am looking more forward to having the school years behind us. WAY BEHIND US!
We are doing well just melting in the hot of California.
