Updates

Paul: Is currently working his 11th week (of 12 total) for his internal medicine rotation. He is really liking the doctor that he is working with, although he has later hours than a lot of the other doctors he worked with. He wakes up and studies for about an hour (prepping for the step 2 exam he wants to take in the spring), eats breakfast and leaves for the hospital, sometimes before we get up, sometimes after. He rides his bike still (thank you perfect Miami weather!), and comes home at 6pm at the earliest. Some nights he isn't home until 9 or 10pm, no thank you. In news other than school (can you believe he does things outside of it?), he found a guy on craigslist giving away his kid's backyard playset (I guess they are too big for it now). Right now it is strapped to our car... Hopefully it will remain there until we get our Uhaul trailer in a week and a half. :)

Jessie: I finally figuring out how to do the 2 immobile kid thing. How do people with multiples do it when they are babies?! Having Hawken casted up is soooo challenging. He wants so badly to be able to run and jump like he used to do, but now I have to carry him most places. To the bathroom, so he can make it there before having an accident. To the car so he won't step in puddles. Into the car because he can't manipulate his ankle to climb in himself... the list goes on. Meanwhile I have a little baby who needs even more from me. But I am grateful that we have health insurance that took care of my little guy when he needed it, even if it makes more work for me now.

Matix: Is becoming such a big boy right before my eyes. I can't believe all the things he can do and say and help with. He has his own little personality and can be quite feisty. :) I love him to pieces and am soooo happy he is mine.

Hawken: Has been doing little silly things, then laughing this fake laugh, and saying, "I'm really funny mom!" He cracks me up. He will repeat this little mantra until everyone else joins in and laughs too and agrees that, yes, Hawken is really funny.

Lullaby: Is almost 3 months old! Ahh! She is still the world's most perfect baby. (Well, Hawken was really good too). She cries only when she needs something and she is very predictable. She naps when the boys nap and makes my life a dream. I love these kiddos so much.

That's it for updates really. We are packing and will be in our new HOUSE (yes, a real house, with a yard even!!) in Georgia in less than 2 weeks! Hooray! Can't wait to get a tree and really feel like it's Christmas, so far we haven't really done many Christmas-y things and Paul and I are both missing that! :)

Wow! Sounds like there is a lot going on for you guys! I don't know how you can move so much and not be sick of it yet! I get the 2 non mobile kid thing... and I'm still trying to figure it out. Tanner doesn't walk, he uses a wheelchair (but its still quite new), and now we have Connor.
Definitely takes longer to get to places and takes pre-planning as well.

It sounds as if you are very, very busy. I wish I was closer to you to help, at least with the kids. You have such a cute family.
Would you be able to e-mail us your new address, we will just send Christmas to Georgia.
Love, Grandma

I can't believe you will be in Georgia so soon! How exciting!!! Happy birthday Hawken, and way to go Jessie for doing everything you do, I don't know how you do it!

Sounds like you are keeping busy (but having fun too)! Good luck with the move!

The broken leg really is a big glitch! Came at the worst possible time too! (Well, maybe during last year's bed rest would have been worse.) I like Grandma Berg's idea of mailing the Christmas things to GA. Let me know. Love to all!
