Okay Okay

I know it has been a long time, but we have been really busy...And I feel like I don't have a minute to myself some days. And if I do....blogging is not top on my list:)

So here's whats been going on...

Isaiah was not napping for about 2-3 weeks and then we went to Cincinnati for a funeral (I will talk about that later). We went out of the house without telling him we were leaving for fear of crying and not letting us go, but it completely backfired. For the rest of the trip I could not leave the room without him crying and running after me. He also would not take naps and he was so overtired all the time. Now that we are home and things are getting back to normal, he is getting better. I told him every time I leave I will tell him, but that doesn't mean he can come with me all the time. I also am back to driving him around to fall asleep, but right now he needs some sleep.

Hope....she is cute and sweet BUT WILL NOT EAT ANYTHING!!! She is so picky and I don't have many options to give her. Since her bother has peanut allergies...she has a possibility of having them too, so I can't give her any peanut products until she is skin tested at age 2. She also cannot eat any cheese....every time I try...she ends up with a horrible diaper rash:( She eats pasta, hot dogs, turkey, applesauce, a lot of fruit, and some veggies. Any ideas on food you think she would eat would be helpful:)
Our weeks are pretty busy. We now take swim lessons, music class, and gymnastics every week. The kids love it and it gives up something to do and practice at home too. Isaiah learns songs pretty fast and loves to sing them all the time. When we were in Cincinnati he had everyone singing the ABC's at sushi! He is a riot. Hope is so eager to talk! I can't wait until she can....I think she is going to just come out with sentences...ha ha!

Last week we went to Cincinnati for a funeral. I didn't have time to post our prayer request...so I am posting it now because prayers are always needed. Please keep the Fiore family in your prayers. We had a great time spending time with them. They are an amazing family. Isaiah LOVES Mia...seriously...she is the only person he shares with!!

Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,

I am sending you this e-mail for our dear family friends the Fiore's.

You have probably heard me talk about them in the past...they have 9 kids.
Their oldest child Mikayla had a baby 5 months ago. The father of the baby
committed suicide on Saturday. Needless to say, Mikayla is devastated. She
has many questions about this including where this man will spend eternity.
This is tough stuff...

I ask that you lift their family in prayer, and that they could be there for
each other during this stressful time.

It is hard to comprehend Romans 8:28 during this time..but, we need to
believe in God's Word.

Thank-you for your support through prayer.

Wonderful blog and yes, I have been checking for an update but knew you must be busy. I think your explanation to Isaiah about leaving the room is great. Hopes' diet is good in the fact that it includes carbs, protein, fruits and veggies. Can she eat eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese with canned fruit (Breakstone's is tasty brand and I say canned fruit because it has juice which goes well with the cottage cheese) or cream cheese with a bagel or english muffin? Also, not sure if potatoes or sweet potatoes are part of the veggies she likes. Lastly, when Autumn and Spencer were young since he wasn't a big sandwich eater (not sure if Hope does sandwiches) and Autumn had a good appetite I would give them a half of a Michelina's entree with their lunch and they loved it. Good luck! See you soon...can't wait.

I forgot to say earlier that I will keep the Fiore family in my prayers. They have been on my heart and mind all day.

Your weeks are busy and sound like so much fun!
