Knudsonville Happenings

I really have no pictures to post, but I thought I would let you all know what we've been up to lately. I have been cleaning the house and weeding through kids' clothes to take out the too small ones....ones that need to be passed down to the next kid or ones that need to be given away. It feels like spring is right around the corner, well at least here in Texas! I have recently purchased some studio lighting and I am working on some pictures for my photo blog. John has been applying to jobs and thinking about our future. It feels like some changes lie waiting for us this year. Sam has been dealing with anger...he is always getting upset over small things and now he has started to do it at school. I am looking for help for him, possibly a counselor. It seems like anything John and I are doing aren't really making it better. Brooklyn is doing great at school. She comes home singing songs and is always in a happy mood that most 4 year olds are blessed with. Madelyn is still potty training and lately is reminding me why I detest potty training! She was so easy at the beginning and now she is proving to be more difficult. Ah, life! Always something to take care of. ;) I read a really cool quote on a blog the other day that gave me perspective: We are not humans on a spiritual journey, we are spiritual beings on a human journey.

ah. the weeding. Do you ever wonder why things are so worn out? Wish I had some good tips for you about getting boys frustrations out or potty training... I'd love to hear more about the studio lighting! Where did you get it?

I have a 5 year old boy that has some issues right now. Heis so sneaky and disobedient. I keep thinking it is a phase and to just do all I can do, and have a million family home evenings about making good choices and cosequences of our choices. On the potty training note. Chase did the same exact thing. He was so easy. He went potty for so long. Then he got sick and now it is a gigantic fight. I am at a loss again, but I am not quiting.
