Curtis finished up his soccer season last weekend. The crocodiles had a great last game and a really nice team party at Spring Creek BBQ. The kids on this team were really spectacular and we were all a little sad to see the season end. I have already seen some of the parents since then and am sure we built some lasting friendships. Coach Jason had some really wonderful things to say about our little Curt Burt too. He commented on how he was always there with a cheerful heart ready to listen. I couldn't care less at this point how well he can play soccer but it was sure nice to hear that his character is whats making him shine. He really is a darling little man. It was really neat to see him cheer his friends on at the games and I am so very glad we signed him up. He says he wants to play T-Ball in the spring so we are looking forward to trying something new.
Morning sickness is still in full force for me. I keep thinking its going to let up soon (11 weeks yesterday) but so far its only getting worse. To say its been a challenge to manage the house, kids, school, extracurricular events, and advent while trying to manage the morning sickness would be an understatement. Jacob is going out of town next week on Tuesday and will not be home until the following Monday. I am not quite sure how thats going to work for us. He is really working hard to provide for us and help me in any way he can. Not sure how I can do it without him next week but I guess I will have to figure it out! I did have a wonderful surprize this week though as two of my dear friends popped by with little baskets of love. One brought a delicious pot pie ready for dinner that night and another brought a package full of common remedies for morning sickness. I am so very blessed by the beautiful friends I am surrounded with!
Speaking of beautiful friends I hosted a wonderful feast of St. Nicholas party here on Tuesday. I absolultly didn't think I was going to be able to pull it off this year. Jacob helped me out a ton with the grocery shopping and craft preparation. Jessica came early to help me get it all thrown together. And the house was clean enough to be full of 28 beautiful bustling children :) It was a new record crowd this year! It is something we all look forward to each year and I am so thankful to have had enough help to not have had to cancel it. The kids enjoyed painting St. Nick ornaments, eating brunch, listening to St. Nicholas stories, and watching an adorable St. Nicholas movie. It was a great morning!
I had lots more I wanted to post about but honestly I don't have the energy today. Praying I'm out of the worse of it next week...will write more then :)
