update

it's been quite awhile since i wrote anything of consequence. life just kind of got away with me...again.

taylor broke his glasses, again. we went in the last week of school to try and get them replaced, but they didn't have another pair of the frames in the office. that means he took all his final tests without them. even so, he did amazingly well. when report cards came home, he had gotten all A's! his reading level is currently 2.3, and shaun let him borrow the hobbit to start reading.

elizabeth got a tooth knocked out this last week. taylor accidentally kicked her in the mouth while on the neighbors trampoline. it bled, but stayed put. then yesterday he knee-ed her in the mouth, and it finished the job. the dentist wanted to see her, so we took her in the morning to have him look at it. the root is still inside, and we decided to wait until her check up in 2 weeks to get it taken out.

shannon has been easier to handle since we went on this new "diet." it's not really a diet. the morning she ruined a dozen eggs, i'm pretty sure she snuck m&m's out of my display vase. she's not quite as crazy when we are able to keep her off the artificial colors & flavors.

ashley has finally started sleeping through the night. she's no longer nursing, and absolutely loves her milk. she now has her vampire teeth. it's actually really funny, cause she has the 2 front bottom teeth, and then her upper incisors came in and are working their way down.

i accidentally got my neighbors rabbit killed. i let the dog in the house yesterday when it was raining, and forgot to lock the gate at the top of the stairs. the dog got a hold of the rabbit, and the rabbit is no more.

shaun has been quite depressed as we haven't been able to pay the bills, or figure out how to pay rent either.

time will show us how to get things taken care of.
