Here's the latest with the Richardsons...
Jared is still working with my Dad doing cell tower work and has been putting in applications with water districts in our area. He is still serving his one weekend a month with the National Guard. He goes for his two weeks of drill in August and will unfortunately miss the kids first day of school. We don't really have any updates on his transfer paperwork other than to say it has all been put on hold till 2011.
Logan is growing and finding his personality. He is still a sweet and responsible boy. He loves to talk and tell stories, he still loves legos pretty much more than anything else. Thanks to cousin Doug for reigniting that passion by giving him tubs and tubs full. He is ready for 1st grade this year. We are still waiting to find out who his teacher will be. I have been praying about it since school ended last year and I am sure he will be put in the right class.
Savannah is..... Savannah! Sometimes I think this is her world and we just live in it. But I honestly love it. I think she will always challenge me and make me grow. She is so much like me that I get frustrated with her, but I understand. She has a big personality and if she can reign herself in and become more confidant in crowds she will go so very far. She has matured quite a bit and become much more responsible and helpful. She is growing like a weed and I'm sure will be one of the tallest kids in her class this year. She is so excited that she lost not 1 but 2 teeth recently. She is growing up so quickly and I can hardly believe that she will be in kindergarten in a few short weeks. She is anxious to buy her school uniforms and shocking asked for skirts and dresses and not pants. Is this my daughter? She has been so great with Charlotte. The girls love to play together and Savannah is good at anticipating her needs.
Charlotte warms my heart. I cannot look at her big blue eyes without smiling. She still doesn't talk much. She know a few words and will say them when she feels like it. She is very smart though, she follows directions very well and gets into trouble. She is the first of my kids to climb inside of the cupboards and move chairs to get into stuff. As she gets older she is looking less like a Savannah clone and coming into her own. She is starting to scream and throw tantrums when she doesn't get her way but it doesn't last long. She loves to dress up, play dolls, play barbies, and watch movies with her brother and sister. We moved her out of a crib and she hated it. She would sleep on the floor or make us get out the pack n play. So now the girls have 1 queen sized bed that they love to share!
I am just trying my best to keep up with everything. I am trying to enjoy the summer but I am also looking forward to school this year. I am feeling pretty good and just trying to stay out of the heat when I can. Summer keeps us pretty busy and I am thankful it is winding down. We have been booked with park days, play dates, swim days, field trips, birthdays, dr. apts, and we will finish off our last week before school getting things ready without Daddy. He will leave the week before school starts, so I will have to take lots of pictures.
As most of you know, I am expecting #4. We recently found out that It's a BOY! Jared knew all along as usual and Logan is super excited. (He wants bunk beds) He does not have name yet......waiting on Jared! Everything seems to be going well. I am seeing a specialist just to be safe. They found some fibroids that they will be monitoring. Also, they will keep a close watch to try and prevent another preemie. I have another ultrasound tomorrow. I am hoping to see his face, last time he was laying sideways and was very comfortable that way so we didn't see much.
