Where did the last 6 months go?

I guess I knew it had been 6 months, since I last blogged. Things have been busy here in our little place in the world. We had a good summer and are having a great fall.

James's allergies are finally under control, although they are flared up at the moment. It has been a long process to get them under control, but I love the allergist. He answers every question when I call with the best thing to do for James. We have managed to avoid the pediatrician for the most part other than well-baby visits, height/weight checks, and the flu. Compared to last year we are doing great with the allergies. James is growing like a weed. He has finally gained enough weight to keep us out of the pediatrician's office except when sick or yearly. Thank goodness!! He talks so much and can carry on a wonderful conversation with you. It melts my heart every night when he tells Bethany he loves her. He is quite the big brother. He worries about where she is and what she is doing.

Bethany is beginning to lose that baby look. She is getting taller and almost has all of her teeth. She still has that beautiful red tint to her hair. Her hair is finally long enough to put in pig tails, and she looks absolutely adorable with the pig tails. She still isn't saying a whole lot but is definitely trying to repeat what is being said to her. So, we don't think it will be long before she is talking like James. She loves to play with James's toys. He tries to give her baby dolls to play with, but she wants his stuff.

Barry is still enjoying his job. He gets a long with the guys he works with, and we have been out a couple of times with the group of them for going away parties. We are making lots of lists of projects for the house come this spring.

I am back to school. I have an awesome homeroom this year and am working with 2 great ladies. I am still at Dollywood and enjoying that. It keeps me busy, but we are enjoying paying for Christmas with no debt involved this year.

Well, I should post pictures but don't have any recent ones of the kids downloaded to the computer. I will try to post some pictures again soon and hope that it won't be 6 months between entries.
