Well, last week my parents graciously drove up to see us so that Robert and I could go to a Parenting conference at the seminary on Saturday. So they had the kids all day on Saturday and were able to be here for Wild Man and Hulk's birthdays! A few days before they came we were able to get family photos done! Phew! That was exciting and hot! Here is a link to see the pictures: hannahreevesphotography.pixieset.com/coffmanfam/

Well, since I last posted we celebrated Jasper's 6th birthday. Hurricane organized her 3rd annual Fun Run. Which just consists of the children old enough running a certain amount of distance as a race. This year it was just the loop around the neighborhood. Hurricane gets certificates for those who are involved and medals for the top two winners. And we had dirt cupcakes to celebrate Jasper's birthday.
We have been trying to go to our church's Tuesday play dates at different parks. We have been having different families over for dinner. We've scheduled an open swim at our pool every Friday from 2-4pm for any of our friends that want to drop in and swim with us. And I was planning on starting our formal learning Monday but the kids started passing around an illness. Bug is really needy when he's sick and doesn't barely sleep so I haven't slept much either. So we are postponing the start of our "school" year for another week. When it appeared that the illness had passed a rash showed up on Wild Man's feet. It spread to his hands and legs and we finally realized that what the kids were passing around was Hand Foot and Mouth disease. Wild Man is covered with the rash and blisters. He didn't walk for a couple of days because it hurt his feet so bad. But Bug only has a few blisters on his toes and fingers. The Boy was the last to get ill so we are still waiting to see if he will have the rash very bad. Last year when I was around 38 weeks pregnant with Bug I went to a women's retreat with our church and won a free mini session with a photographer. So I've been hoarding it until I lost a bit of baby weight and Bug got to a cuter age. So we are scheduling a family photo session soon hopefully! We really need a good family picture. Robert and I have been having a really hard time with our phones. Robert's speaker has been broken for about a year. And it broke the rest of the way (so that it wouldn't even ring) a couple weeks ago. But then, it just started ringing again. So his speaker is still messed up but not as bad. My phone started just shutting off at random times recently. Robert thinks its something to do with the battery because my phone thinks its dead when it isn't actually. This morning it turned off and we still haven't been able to get it back on. So if you need to contact me you will have to do so through Robert or my email. [email protected] They are both really old phones. Our anniversary is the 17th and we are considering using some of the money we have budgeted for that to get a used (newer) phone for me and then Robert would get my phone, assuming he can fix the battery problem. We will see! Oh, shoot! I just realized I can't upload anymore pictures from my phone because it won't turn on. Oh well, these below aren't that old anyway. |
