I was updating my info and I realized that you may not know my Gump situation. Nicholas loves the movie. For those of you who may have never seen it before it is not entirely appropriate for a 6 year old, or 4 year old since that is how old he was when he started watching it all the time. But he enjoys it and I can't exactly take it away now. Plus I don't think he understands the full concept of most of it.
Anyway, the funny part of the story is that I bought Nathan a Johnny Jump Up a few weeks ago. Nicholas asked "If this is Johnny, then what do they call the girl one?" I told him the girl one was called Jenny Jump Up. Being an avid Forrest fan, Nicholas has decided that we no longer have a Johnny Jump Up, we have a Forrest Jump Up.
A few months ago a friend of my sister's was giving away a bearded dragon. We already have one, the wonderful Thomas. Of course 1 is not enough for Brad so he took it. Of course there was a catch. The dragon is paralyzed from being fed mealworms and lack of nutrition. He scoots around but can only move one set of legs - I don't remember if its the front or back. We have named him Lt Dan in honor of the Forrest Gump character of course. I guess that's a sign Nicholas is growing up. We had all of our animals named after Thomas the Tank Characters and now we have moved on to Forrest Gump characters.
There is still a large debate in the house as to where Forrest sits in the square in Savannah. I know I am right but the boys will not listen. It makes since though, the cars are going the wrong way around the circle.

It's been a long time!
So, obviously I'm not as determined as Heather to blog every day. I feel like I let you all down, but at the same time, I don't think anything extremely exciting happened over the length of time. Well, maybe a little bit happened. Here is my top 10 list of things that happened since my last blog.
10. Once again I have no glasses. To make a very long story short, the glasses fell down a hole in the bathroom that goes into the wall and never comes out. Now I have to figure out how to get new ones. Luckily I still have the broken ones in pieces. :)
9. I seem to be getting stuck in triage more and more frequently recently. Do I have it tattoed on my forehead. Even when I'm not in triage, everyone thinks I am. I can only deal with those people so long. What makes it worse is that half of them are unemployed and on government insurance but they can afford to smoke 2 packs a day plus drink plus smoke pot, I just want to tell them they aren't sick and go smoke another. At least if they die we don't have to pay for them anymore (sorry that was cruel and some people are really sick unfortunately most are not)
8. Nathan has 6 teeth now. We are venturing into more solids - cereal, pasta, ground up meat, cheese, fries. He does really well with all of that stuff, plus his milk and baby food. He's still not very big, only 19lb today with all of his clothes on.
7. Nicholas got a $2000 video Jeopardy right. It was Monchu Pichu - I didn't know about any of that crap, but his globe taught him.
6. Brad had his reinlistment ceremony at OSU horseshoe. He only added 1 day to his contract (long story). But we got to go on the field and take pictures and stuff. I will post those one day. I even got a video of the ceremony.
5.Brad had his left shoulder surgery. It did not go as well for a couple of reasons. I thought maybe since he already had it once he would not need babied as much, I was wrong. He wanted a caring and compassionate nurse that I was not. Secondly the anesthesiologist put a nerve block in the wrong spot and messed up his collar bone. Who knows what happens next but he is doing well.
4. Nicholas's teacher emailed me last week
Mrs. Edwards,
I just wanted to let you know that Nicholas made me smile yesterday.It was Katie's birthday and she had brought in cupcakes. Her mom hadput flower decorations on all of them and some of the boys were complaining. Nicholas spoke up and said" we can just give theflowers to our moms", which made Katie feel better. Nicholas is so bright and he has such an insight. He can see things outside the box and problem solve. I do appreciate him!
Mrs. Fyffe
3. Nathan says Mama. I don't think there is a comparable sound to your child calling for you,
2. Nicholas got student of the month (or students of the month, there are 3) and he gets to go to lunch with the principal next week to a "local restaurant." I am so happy that we switched schools, I wonder what Mrs. Spetnagle would say about his progress.
1. Nathan learned to crawl! Last Friday 4/17/09, he crawled 2 little bitty "steps" and now he is going all over the place. If you leave the room he follows you. It's unimaginable how mobile he is getting. He crawls to a toy or object and then when he sits back he can't reach it anymore because he sat back, it's very funny.
