well this is a good start for me actually posting 2x in one month. yay for me!. Well this week was productive, we had Niko's 2 yr appt at the Dr's and of course for his height and weight he's at the top of the chart!! He's a big boy that is for sure. Then we had his party on Sat. My brother didn't make it and of course Nixon's dad didn't make it... There is a surprise... anyway he always has some excuse and Nixon just really doesn't want to talk to him and even invite him... he says he grew up with out him and really he doesn't care if he's here or not.. me of course I get VERY upset by this, and actually got pretty emotional over the whole ordeal... in the end we always just end up not caring about him, but still for me it's hard!  Niko had a good party lots of cake left! it was just my aunt and uncle and then my dad. my grandma didn't make it. She wasn't feeling very well. She is going through Chemo right now. and she has about 4 months left. She is taking March off, but I still understand.  THey are actually leaving tomorrow to go down to MO to see Mary and Steve and go to graceland, which should be really fun  for my grandma. So I'm excited for them. But here all is the same nothing besides that. oh I did call the school system for Niko to get tested for his speech, he's pretty slow just like Meeka and I would much rather start sooner with him than later like we did with Meeka, I want him to be able to communicate and talk with other kids and with us, and by this point 2yrs he should be able to do so. So I hope that he will be able to get help, like Meeka. Tomorrow I'm really excited to go get my haircut and colored!! YAY for me for having some ME time! It is much needed (along with our vacation in 3 weeks) so I'm slowly getting ready for the Dells, finding swim-suits, seeing what still fits. I had to buy Meeka a new suit actually 2 and NIko a rashguard and a new suit too... They just grow and grow! I know they will get plenty of use out of them this summer so I"m pretty excited!! I've had my heart set on getting a water-slide so I told Nixon THIS year we are... I was so close last year but decided not too.. NOT this year!!! so I"m excited the kids will LOVE it!! So that was that, and nothing else is new... still working on No#3 it's our 2nd month, while Nixon is loving the practice... I'm doing better with the emotional part of it, and understanding that everything is in the Lord's hands and timing... and that he is the one that truly understands when it's best for us, but it's still hard I do have my hands full with these two so they do keep me busy. I just signed them both up for a TON of art classes for this summer so that should keep us busy and I'm wondering if I should sign Meeka up for dance this summer too :) I'll look into prices and everything . I want her to take it all year around! It's something she enjoys and loves so it's great to see her have fun. Anyway that's all for now.
