Busy, Busy, Busy

Preston is asleep and Ammon and Ella aren't fighting at the moment so here's a really quick update on life. Having a fourth child has really blown my world out of whack. I feel like I am always behind and running to catch up. Preston is now three months old and I am finally feeling like I'm getting a handle on things, most days that is. For the first 2 1/2 months of his life Preston wanted to be held non-stop and since he's so cute, how could I refuse? Unfortunately, it meant little to no sleep for me and my house in utter chaos. It is a good thing I love my kids so much.
Isaac is loving the 1st grade and doing really well. They tested his reading and they can't test him as high as he can actually read (whatever that means), but I'm glad he's doing well. He has been much more social and gets mad when he can't play with friends everyday for hours.
Ella is still our little blond princess. She is actually very smart and can write almost all of her letters and she recognizes them all, but boy does she play the "dumb blond" part to a tee. Where does she get that? Hee Hee.
Ammon is so full of life it's infectious. He is the most boisterous kid I have ever met. He loves his baby brother and Preston just loves him back. I just need to teach Ammon that squeezing Preston till he squawks is not a good thing.
Preston is such a happy kid. He loves to smile and laugh and does it whenever anyone gives him attention. He has been rolling over from his back to his stomach, but not on a regular basis. I want to slow him down, but I know I'm going to blink one day and he'll be walking. Why does it happen so quick?!
Glen is still teaching an MI course at Camp Williams and he's great at it. He misses jumping out of planes with the 19th, but I don't miss him doing it.
I have recently started running on a treadmill to get rid of this baby weight and I actually enjoy it. I'm crazy I know, but it has given me more energy during the day to chase after kids.
Well, there's the quick update on us. I would have loved to put pictures, but we recently realized our 4 year old computer only has 80 gigs of storage and we were running out, so Glen took all the pictures off.
Uh-oh, Preston is awake so I'm off.
