I've been lazy

I've either been too lazy, too busy, or just plain unmotivated to write in my blog.  I know it's important to me, because I read back 3 years ago and just laugh at the things that happened and know that I wouldn't remember it except it got written down.  Just a few things going on now... I'm not babysitting anymore.  Pips and her family moved.  We've started into a new set of fencing classes, which I'm super stoked about because the two little boys watch their dad fence so they know what I'm talking about most of the time.  I LOVE volunteering in Ada's classroom every week and I LOVE that they let me take in Sam and Evelyn too.  They help me switch out the book readers and hand them out to send home for the day.  Sam knows exactly what to do, and Evelyn knows what she sees and copies it... if she could read she'd be set.  Recently, Sam will sit there and read the books as we're switching them out.  He's caught on to reading very quickly... Ada has too... she's the top ranking reader in her class (which is awesome, but I don't want to point it out to her in case she gets a big head... she and I tend to do that sort of thing.)  We got to go to James Arrington's last ever "Farley Family Reunion" before he retires.  I always loved watching and acting out that one growing up and was glad that we could take our kids once... even if they were little stinkers half the time.  And... most importantly, we found out that our baby is a BOY!  Sammy's going to have a brother!  Ada said, "Darn, I wanted a sister."  Sam gave me a high five, and Evelyn said, "Baby brother!"   He looks healthy, is measuring normally.  He was crossing his legs and didn't want to show us his gender, but the tech bounced him around enough to get him moving.  He's got a sweet little profile and none of us can quite agree on a name for him.  He's pretty chill most of the time.  He's most active when it's quiet... ie: kids nap times, after kids are in bed, etc... I thought maybe it was just that I was less distracted at those times, but nope... I paid more attention the last week or so and he holds really still when everyone is busy and loud... and wiggles when they're not.  He also kicks a lot if we talk directly to him.  Fun.
