So much has gone on here in the last 7 weeks. I guess I'll update about everyone cause its been a while. You could call it our christmas newsletter without the cost of stamps to send it out.
We've had a lot of big events this year. It took us long enough but we finally found a house. Its been 3 months since we got all moved in and we're still moving things around and getting situated.
Then 7 weeks ago today our sweet Bentlee was born. I was induced 6 days after my due date. I arrived at the hospital at 1pm and when hooked up to the monitors was told that I was already contracting. Well at 4:11pm she was born. Very quick labor and thank goodness because there was no medicine involved. Bentlee and I stayed at the hospital until the 6th and came home in time for dinner with the family.
She is such a joy to have in our home. She is such a wonderful baby, has already been smiling so much, "talking" a little and even letting mommy sleep for up to 6 hours at a time at night. Cyrus and Gabi love to talk to her and tell her stories and on occasion hold her. Bentlee is going to be the one who has daddy wrapped around her little finger. He's so enthralled with her.
Gabrielle is 2 and is our little trouble maker. She's the instigator. When the kids are separated she is an absolute angel but gets in to trouble when they are together ( which is pretty much most of the time). She loves anything girly; Pink, dolls, jewelry. you name it. She loves hanging out with kids her age and absolutely adores her Grandma Spears. She's incredibly shy when shes around someone she doesnt know or hasnt seen in a while but warms up after being with them for a bit.
Cyrus is our big 4 year old! I dont feel like I should have a four year old but I guess thats just part of getting older. And I say big 4 yr old because he's been trying to get away with a lot of things because he "doesn't know how" when he turned 4 I told him he was big and can do it all. Now when he complains that he cant put his shoes on or do something I remind him that he's 4 and a big boy and he does it right away without a problem. He loves Monster Trucks, Transformers, action figures, Anything Boy! He is a big helper around the house and has been a big help since Bentlee was born.
Victor and I are doing our best to raise our kids, Victor works long and hard so I am able to stay at home with them and for that I am extremely grateful.
Hope all is well with you and your families and Merry Christmas to you all!
