The TIME has come!!!!

Becki Francy has been bugging me to "get with the program", so the TIME has come!!!! I figured that if I want everyone to know what is going on with the Wagenblatt CREW that I better figure out how to "BLOG". It will take me awhile to get creative and actually make postings a regular occurrence, but I am trying and that is all that matters....

It is currently 2:00 am in the morning and I am at work. For those of you who do not know, I am a RN in the NICU at Saint Francis Hospital. I would love to be home with my boys full time, but since I have to work, this is the JOB for me.

So here is the update on the "FAM"....

Andy, the husband, is currently working as a carpenter full-time through the local Tulsa Carpenter's Union. He loves his job and always has an interesting story to tell about what he did all day. Most days are spent supervising, but I get the feeling that he'd rather be getting his hands dirty. After many threats of retiring from soccer, I think the decision was forced upon him this year. I keep telling him that his body is getting older and can't take all of the abuse.

Drew is 4 going on 14.... He is in Pre-Kindergarten this year at Lake Hills Montessori and loves every minute. When I picked him up at school today, his teacher informed me that he had spent all morning writing. He is a true Montessori child. He is so focused and will not give up until he is successful at whatever he is doing. Independence can get a little frustrating sometimes, for him and the rest of us. He wants to everything himself. Not only is he focused but quite witty. Several weeks ago when the Olympics were still on he heard a classical song playing during one of the events. He proceed to say, "mom, that is Johann Sebastian Bach". In amazement, I replied by saying, "what did you say!" He repeated himself then added on the comment, "he is a classical artist, you know"!

Eason is 14 months now and quite a handful. He is a great mixture of sweet and sour!!!! His personality cannot be explained with words. He already has a great sense of humor and is so sweet, most of the time. When the "tude" comes out it does it with a vengeance. Anytime Drew is watching cartoons in the playroom, it is Eason favorite task to run into the playroom, turn off the TV, laugh, and run out. It would be funny, but the ritual goes on and on, until Drew is either in tears or until Eason has convinced him that is is time for a friendly game of "what can big brother teach me to jump off of?"

Parenting boys is full of action and I would not trade it for the world. It is the best joy ever.... I absolutely love every minute. The best is at the end of the day after we have said our goodnight prayers, my day is ended with a slobbery kiss from Eason and Drew saying, "Mom, I love you infinity and bigger than a beanstalk!"
