Since it's been a while, here's an update on how we're all doing.
Matthew--Still handsome. Still nice. And busy. He's been up some late nights preparing for work the next day. He's not overly busy, but he often drives 1 1/2 hrs each way to work (three times a week when he goes to Salt Lake). He's doing well.
Nathan--So ready for kindergarten this year!! He'll turn 5 about a week before school starts! He's full of energy and showing his independence and can be quite a tease. He loves being outside and can entertain himself with hours just with a hose and a few rocks. He can write his name and sound out letters. We are working on putting sounds together, but he hasn't mastered that yet.
Mary--Almost potty trained!! For many intents, she is potty trained, but has an accident once a day often. So we are working and getting her there. She loves girly things, but can play dinosaurs with Nathan really well! Her strawberry-blond hair is finally growing!!
Me--I am nineteen weeks pregnant and look faaaarr more pregnant than that! (like about six months or so probably) I have been feeling excellent the last five weeks after passing the morning sickness. Now I have started to feel a little more tired as these babies growing inside of me are taking a lot of energy, but I am still doing really well! I am trying to get my house organized and ready. We have an apartment and not a lot of room to deal with two more kids, but we are trying to make it work!!
Our life is mostly boring, but sweet and happy. I am realizing that I am destined to be a STAY-AT-HOME Mom, literally!! If it's not one thing, it's another and most of the time we're at home. But it's great :)

Wow! You are busy these days! Glad to hear that things are going well for you and your family. Hopefully you will keep feeling well for the rest of your pregnancy. I am exhausted all the time and I only have one in there, so I can't imagine what it would be like with 2.
Awesome Becky! So happy for you-that you're feeling better and have some energy to organize and get ready for them! What a blessing. Let's hope your energy continues as long as possible at the rate your tummy is growing. Did you ever find out if they're both boys? I can't remember but i'll look around some more on your blog in case I just forgot.
You're a wonderful, beautiful Mommy and all your children are so blessed to have you!
You'll do awesome with twins...wow, four kids, five and under-and a couple of newborns, not just one like me. That's going to take lots of help for the first months.
I cannot get ANYTHING done. Pretty much just meeting basic needs, and paying enough attention to all four kids is plenty to keep me busy. So my house continues to be a mess, and I seriously have not hesitated to call for help because there's pretty much NO WAY one person can do it all. My husband is working at least sixty hours a week and the kids rarely see him. I'm exhausted but just letting everything that I can't control go, and doing my best to enjoy every moment with my little sweeties.
Love ya, and good luck!

It's been a few posts since I last commented. It was fun to see your kids enjoy Easter. I am glad you are feeling well and am I happy for you that you are managing things well right now. I am sure you aren't as big as you say you are though!
I think it's hilarious the tings your kids say. I wish my kids were as quotable as yours!
Hope the new few weeks go well for you!
AND did you or are you finding out the gender of the twins???
I love your posts! They bring a smile to my face! So glad you are feeling better...stay that way!
