Progress Report

Ok, So here is the progress report for Jonah. It really took us by surprise that he didn't know where his neck or hip was. HUm.... He called his neck his throat and he should have know what his hip is because he hurt it this past summer. Oh well! He did great in everything else and his teacher was wondering if he is reading... yup! When I scanned it, you could see the other side, so I quick cleaned it up so you could read it. Sorry it is still messy. I also took the name of his school off. What a little Joy. :)

Today's Thoughts

Good morning all. Good morning fellow coffee drinkers, and if you are not a coffee drinker... That's a shame. You have no idea what you are missing. (LOL!) I did not take the picture if you are wondering...
Well, news since the last post. Jonah got an award for excellence at school. He got a gift certificate to a restaurant and was sooooo excited. He has teacher conferences tomorrow. We will let you know how it goes! He also started reading. It is mostly word recognition, but he does really well and insists on reading his night time devotions. He is so cute! Needless to say that is a long process, but difinatley worth every minute. Ok, now to Abby... she is a crack up! She is now into copying you. She loves blowing raspberries and thinks being scared is funny. She is still into everything and on everything. She is definately our climber. Fun stuff huh?! Everyone has decided that she has a set of lungs and can use them, therefore she will be a singer. :) They are keeping us on our toes.
Our house is slowly being put back together. We still have stuff in the dining room, but our cook top is now fixed!
Oh, Abby is up from her 5 min nap. More later...

Kids

More pictures of the cutest kids in the world!!!

Kitchen Remodel 2

Ok, so here are some kitchen pictures so far. It is a work in progress but at least there is progress!! If it is not your style, oh well! :) The top pictures are the "after" pictures. We still have crown moulding to put on the cabinets, base trim, and door knobs and the pantry to do. But we are excited to have a working sink. :)

Abby

Another day in the life

Ok, so here we are another day in the life of the Castruccio household. James is back from California and he got a few minutes to drop his bag and go to a church business meeting (he has to, he is the moderator). Love me and leave me. :) Ha!! Well he is home now and the kids want to be with him, so that gives me a few mommy minutes. I have been taking pictures, but some I can't put on the blog because they are not of our family. The ones of Abby are SOOO cute, but they too are just for family usage. You don't know who is out there looking at your personal stuff (yes the family is crazy, but I am not talking to you). So... the moral of me even telling that is that I feel like there has not been a picture post in a while, so I apologize to ya'll. There will be soon! Abby and Jonah grow so much, that we need to get some more pictures!!!
My mommy time is up, See you all Later...

Blue Collar Comedy Tour

So.... we went! They were halarious as always. We had a good time and some fresh Mrs Fields cookies. Jeff Foxworthy was giving fashion tips. Need I say more. We had a great time but saw more mullets than on Max-X. I have had my quota for the year. Ron White was the best this tour. He really is halarious. Larry the Cable guy is putting out a movie... be very afraid!!
Watch it, you will laugh your butt off.
My recommentdation- 2 thumbs up!

Nothin to Say

Nice title huh?! I am only writing because it has been a little while since I have written anything. Not that I don't have anything going on... ok don't laugh. We are getting back into normal life which is good and then those cute little ones running around here decide to change things. You get into a good routine and then, CRUD! there we go again. We were back at the Dr.'s office with Jonah because they thought he might be having an allergic reaction to some antibiotics (he is on 20 days of this stuff) so we had to be observed for an hour ...after we went in for the appointment, picked up the medicine, and came back to the office to give it to him and finally wait. He feels great, he has some fluid in his ears still. Grr... Do you know how much fun it is to keep a 3 year old relatively contained and an 8 month old in your lap in a Dr's office for an hour?!!! What a morning. Oh, and at the Dr.'s office Abby blew out of her diaper all over herself... at that point I wanted to go back to bed and start again... ok maybe not at 1:30 am, 5 am, and 6:20am . :) On days like today you wish that life were a musical and you can just burst into song without a care in the world and everyone liked your singing voice and when you were done, the sun breaks over the clouds, handsome men come prancing in there leotards to pick you up and carry you away to goodness knows where. You may possibly get a serenade from one or more of these "Men in tights". Ahhh, the life of a thesbian. Then reality strikes and you are back to Dr's appointments, diapers,school pick ups and drop offs, and a dirty house. And God said it was good! In all fun it is so worth it. It has just been a very long day.
Wow, I had more to say than I thought. Sorry if it is random. ~Cheers!

Tooth

Ok, it is official. Abby cut her first tooth today!! It made for a miserable night, but the deed is done. We are so excited!!
