It's a new year and a lot has happened since the last time I got a chance to post. I don't think I will be able to remember everything that we did so I will just do recent stuff. First though the reason behind the big hiatus was our computer was busted and with the Geek Squad for over a month then life just got too busy for blogging.
First I am a proud new Auntie again!!!! Ms. Alivia Elaine Bronleewe was born Dec 29, 2011. Mom, the kids and I had just gotten to Texas that day and lil Livi decided to make her debut earlier than her scheduled time which was supposed to be the next day. She is gorgeous and I couldn't be happier to have that little girl have my middle name.This was the first time I was able to be there for the birth of any of my nieces and it was really special. I was incredibly excited and I am so glad I was able to be there when Heidi got back from the hospital. Those new born snuggles are priceless!! It was so much fun getting to spend time with my nieces!!! Anna is a star and rules Texas with a sparkly mircophone and a crown atop her head and Brielle is little dancing queen that adores tutus and baby dolls (don't let that angel face full you though she isn't a push over she has enough of her Auntie in her to stand on her own two feet). If you add my two to the mix you have quite the combo!!! Bug and Anna I think had to adjust a little to sharing the spot light since frankly Bug rules Florida with sparkly dancing shoes and a crown firmly in place but they were thick as theives and put on some hilarious shows. Caden is a go with the flow kinda kid and of course the only available Prince Charming so was in very high demand. There was many tears when it came time to leave and the count down has already started for when they will all see eachother again. <3
While we were in TX my lil man got a cold. That turned into a sinus infection. That didn't go away after two rounds of antibiotics. Which then after that turned into pneumonia. That final diagnosis was a week and a half ago and he is doing better now thankfully. The good thing is that he was in good mood through all of this and never really lost much energy. Actually the pneumonia kinda took me by surprise except that his cough had turned funky sounding he hadn't really slowed down much. He was still not taking a nap but was going to bed at 6p.m. which is very early but when he is not feeling well not uncommon for him.
While we were in Texas Caden asked Jesus to be his Lord and Savior. It was a huge moment. He was so excited and couldn't wait to come home and tell everyone. We ended up having to miss church though because he was sick for a while and finally he got to go one sunday and he told Pastor Hixon. I was so proud of Caden because usually Caden is very shy and it is like pulling teeth to get him to talk to people. Pastor Hixon likes to speak to the kids before they walk forward and get baptized to make sure they really understand what they prayed and what it means to have a relationship with Jesus so Caden and us went into his office 2 weeks ago and Caden was a little chatter box! I was a little shocked. My little boy is getting so grown up. Anyway Caden wanted to get baptized right away so we set it up for the following sunday. That was the week we found out about the pneumonia though and we had to reschedule...twice. Now that he is doing better it is back on and will be this Sunday!! Caden is super super excited about it.
I am now in my last year of my twenties! I don't know why but my birthday is still just like it was when I was a kid. I count down to it. I wake up several times the night before and the morning of is super exciting. People call to sing Happy Birthday, the facebook messages, the fun texts and cards. I mean really it is so much fun!!!! When you have kids it is even more awesome because you get to see on their little faces how much they want to help you have a good birthday. We went to IHop for breakfast, Red Robin for lunch and then Il Primo for dinner and shopped in between. According to Caden it was the best birthday ever and he wants to do the exact same thing for his. I guess my food choices were right there with a 5 year olds hehehe. My hubby had to work A LOT! so he is going to take me out some time soon for a great date night when his work load gets lighter. I told him that is fine it is like stretching my birthday out over into March which is when his birthday is so I get to keep celebrating with him : ) We also get to go out thanks to Aunt Jan and Doug still for Valentines day at Cheese Cake Factory because we saved our giftcard from christmas like we always do. So thank you guys!!!!
About Joe working so much please pray for him. His one supervisor is having to work in ft myers the past few weeks and it looks like he will be there for quite a while. While this supervisor is in ft myers that means that Joe is carrying the load of a full time super on his part time schedule. He worked about 39 hours last week and he is supposed to only work 20 to 25. He is tired but doing well and he actually enjoys the job. A lot of big wigs are watching him right now seeing if he can handle the job for possible promotions in the future. So please just remember to pray for him that he would remember to seek Gods will, not lose his cool under the pressure, make wise decisions and have energy. Also pray for me so I would have a good attitude as I want to support him and not be snippy when he tells me he won't be getting home till 11 or will be working on a day he was supposed to have off. I may have done that this last week (insert red shame face here) He told me I didn't but I felt like I did.
