Has it really been since June?!

As usual, I'm waaaaayy behind updating my blog. Sorry about that. I promise, I will try to do better!

It's been a busy few months. After all our vacationing back in May and again in June, James injured his back and has been home from work since August 1. We have SO enjoyed him being here but glad that he is finally on the mend. He had surgery on Monday, the 15th and is home recovering. The procedure he had done was a microdiscetomy by the amazing Dr. Ledlie at ETMC.

Nelson is doing great at school.. despite is inability to control his talking. Great grades as usual but bless his heart, he talks more than I do! For those that didn't know me in my youth, that is what I got in trouble for too. :) So he gets it honest!

Henry is LOVING his first year of school. He's only gotten one folder mark so far and it nearly broke his heart. He is a perfectionist if you didn't know. He is mastering every thing at school so far and is doing an amazing job reading. He did tell me that he shouldn't have to keep going because he isn't learning anything new now... that it is just "re-learning" LOL. :)

Jack is a whirlwind... constantly on the go. Emptying kitchen cabinets. Using the stepstool to clean off the kitchen counters. Sneaking into his brothers room for forbidden toys every chance he gets. His vocabulary is growing leaps and bounds although I don't quite know what all his words are yet. :) But he does say eat, up, no, shhh, mama, dada, and has his own version of bite, cup and a few other words. And lots more noise that I don't understand!

I'm doing great. Expecting baby #4 in May...or June. I'm due May 31st but you know how the Suggs kids like to arrive at least 5 days late. The morning sickness is getting less frequent and my energy level is moving back up so that's good. We are really excited about this 4th and final installment. :)

We are still doing the Dave Ramsey thing. Maybe not so strict with it as we were in the beginning ... not EVERY dollar spent is planned but we are still debt free with the exception of the house and are paying extra on it. Thank God we were turned onto this way before James got hurt at work or we'd be in a world of trouble trying to make ends meet on his reduced salary!

Well here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure. That's all for now!
