October 13th
SOOO the past few months have been so busy, once we feel like we are getting into routine something else comes up.
Kaylee’s first day of school was September 10th. She is busy with school and doing great. She has been getting up early getting herself ready and really turning into suck a big kid. This year she has homework and we have been trying to get into a system to get her homework done along with anything else that might be going on that night. Kaylee attended her first musical play “Marry Poppins” my mom and I took her. It was wonderful; Kaylee had so much fun and really enjoyed it. I think we will be seeing more as they come. Last night we went to look at Halloween costumes and Kaylee decided to be hermione from Harry Potter, she is really into Harry Potter lately, we have only allowed her to watch the first 3 movies, Eric proofed them first.
Mya has had a really busy September. We had her tested for her speech and she qualified for special Ed services. Mya is now attending preschool 4 mornings a week, she rides the big yellow bus and is loving it. We opted to send her there with so many days to hopefully give her that big boost, and then next year she might go to a community based preschool. Mya is also doing gymnastics every Monday night to help with her gross motor skills. As a baby she was a few months behind. She is doing great and loves her tumbling tots.
Ethan is so big, he is 9months old today and tomorrow we will have his well baby check but as of last week he was 23 pounds 14oz with clothes on. He is starting to eat a little more toddler food like the Gerber graduates little crunchies, bitter biscuits and yogurt smoothies. Ethan also is learning to drink from a straw sippy cup, we skipped the different sippy cups and went straight for the straw since learning from Mya that using a straw helps strengthen the muscles in the mouth to help with speaking and forming words. Ethan also got 2 teeth at the end of September; both bottom teeth came in at the same time.
For Eric and I we both have been busy with work. I have been trying to increase my number of daycare kids with little luck and I also have taken on a second job. I am working for Harry Meyering Center in Mankato. I work with people with disabilities in their home. I am really enjoying getting back to work in my field and meeting new people. The house I work at has great staff and a wonderful supervisor. I spent a month getting all my training done. It was hard being gone almost every night at work but now that I am trained in I work Thursday nights and every other weekend. I also spent a well needed and deserved weekend out with my sister in DC, It was short but sweet. Eric has been working hard, some changes and layoffs at work but he has made it through. He is done with softball but is starting pool league soon. Eric’s grandparents came out for a visit; which was really nice to see them. Tragedy struck for my family on October 5th my 6 month old nephew Kaden past away from SIDS, Kaden, Elizabeth (sister in law) and Dawson (6 yr old nephew) moved up to Minnesota a month ago and have been living with my mom and step dad Len, Andy (step brother) is still living in Alabama finishing up work and finalizing the move of all their stuff. It has been really difficult and hard on all my family. We are all trying to stay strong and remember the joy that Kaden brought to all of our lives. With his big eyes, giggle and excitement to see you we will never forget.

August 24th
It has been a busy month: Kaylee and Mya had swimming lessons which was a lot of fun. Kaylee is able to move to the next level and has become even more of a fish actually swimming under water. Mya's swimming lessons really helped her she is more confident and has more fun in the water. All in all it was great for both and what an improvement!! Ethan starting eating solids which at first he really did not like but now a month later he is loving it. He is still on just stage 2 baby food. It will be a while until he get real food. Ethan also loves his "jump a roo" toy so much he jumps himself to sleep sometimes. Mya has big news, she is a big girl now with big girl panties we are potty trained. Great on this end no more diapers to change for her. Kaylee also has big news she is sporting glasses now. She is doing a great job with them and we are hoping that they will improve her headaches and reading. We all enjoyed a day at the Como Zoo, we had a great time perfect weather and good fun!! School is about to start for Kaylee. Mya won't start school until October, she is going to have an assessment done to check her speech before starting school. Otherwise all is well at the Moreau house

July 21st
This past week was busy, fun and sleepless. Ethan had his 6 month well baby check on Thursday, he is 18.6 pounds 76%, 26 inches 36%, and head 18 inches 97%, the boy has lots of brains, the doctor said that his ear was a little red and had some fluid but thought that it could be left over from the last ear infection. Eric went cat fishing on Friday night with friends and he took his dad too. They didn't get home until about 2am. I know this because Ethan woke up screaming at 1am and didn't quit till about 4am then was up again at 6am. We started to have the feeling that the little red ear might be another ear infection. We went to the Tator Days parade Saturday early afternoon and then I headed to the doctor with Ethan, and yes another ear infection, we then all went to a wedding reception for a softball buddy of Eric's. The girls danced their hearts out, we all had a great time. Ethan is not doing very well with this ear infection, up every night, and he is now been sleeping in his bouncy seat upright. Sunday we had our friends son Jace's birthday party. It was a pool party and everyone had a great time. The party was at Jace's grandparents, they heated the pool and it felt like a bathtub, even the babies enjoyed it. We got home Sunday night and all went to bed early. It will be another busy week with swimming lessons, and softball.

The past few months
SO it has been a long time since I blogged, It is amazing how busy it is having 3 kids. Just trying to get through the day is tough but then throw in work and the normal housework it is crazy there is never enough time in the day.
Eric is going strong at work. He has been able to take time off this summer. Last summer he worked every weekend and we never saw him. Eric has been busy with softball every Wednesday night. We try to go and watch on early game nights but those have been far and few. He went on a fishing trip with the softball boys in June for a week and had a couple of bachelor parties. He has been able to get a few golf games in also.
Me, well I have been working on trying to keep things moving. Between doctor appointments, activities and all the daily living things I have been super busy. Last week I had the week off of daycare and spent all week repainting the living room, dinning room, kitchen, hallway and the stairway. I had help from my sister who flew in to help organize and paint. We got a lot done. Eric took a couple days off to help too. It is amazing how fast time sure goes. This week is back to daycare and routine as much as possible
Kaylee has been busy with t-ball. Grandma Mary has been taking her every Tuesday and Thursday morning. Kaylee has had 2 games and her final game is tonight if weather permits. She also have started swimming lessons last night, they are every night for the next two weeks. She is a busy 6 years old girl we celebrated her birthday about 6 times in the past few months.
Mya has also started swimming lessons; she is not as excited to get her face wet as Kaylee is. Mya is the mother hen when it comes to baby Ethan she is always worried about her and trying to take care of him. Mya is also potty training, it is slow going but we are hoping she can master it by middle of August so she can go to preschool in the fall. We are keeping our fingers crossed.
Ethan has had a busy few months with his RSV in March and then a month later with having acid reflex, switching doctors, a double ear infection and another ear infection he has been a busy boy in and out of the doctors. For the past month we have been struggling with formula since I was not able to keep nursing, we think we have settled with soy, which Kaylee was on also so it wasn’t a big surprise. He finally seems to be progressing and a happy baby. Soon we will be starting solid food for him.
Hopefully I won't wait so long to post again.

April 1st
We are still busy as ever but these past few weeks we have been battling illness after illness. My daycare kids got sick with colds, pink eye, and ear infections. The next week Mya got the flu. It was bad 5 days of puke and diarrhea. Then she got pink eye. Then she got a fever and cough, She is on the recovery end now with just a slight cough. Kaylee was spared only with a few days of headache and fever and a cold. Eric and I have been ok so far. Ethan was fine until yesterday when I took him in and found out he has RSV, so the poor little guy has a nebulizer every 4 hours. We hope we can get it under control with him being so small yet. Baptism was wonderful. It was a great service and a great party afterwards (Thanks Mom and Len for hosting), It was a great weekend with all the family. Last weekend we went to a water park with friends of ours, we all had a good time. The kids loved the water park. On Sunday Eric and I took Kaylee to a Timberwolves game, I was amazed how much she liked it and didn’t want to leave at the end. We are trying to get back into a normal schedule now. This weekend Eric has a pool league tournament and I am going to try to get a few things done around the house. We are waiting for spring so we can start some of our projects outside But with getting snow last night it feels like it might be a while before that ever happens. Here are a few pictures of the past few weeks.

Ethan's 2 month well baby check up!!
We had Ethan's 2 month well baby check up yesterday he is getting so big. He weighs 10 pounds 15 ounces and is 21 inches long, he is in the 50% for both weight and length. He got 3 shots and a oral immunization. Of course he was not happy but did settle down quite fast. He has been running a slight fever and sleeping a lot so hopefully he will feel better by tomorrow for baptism. My sister Katie and her baby Annabelle flew in last night after a long day of flight delays and travel. Eric's family is driving up tonight from Iowa. We can't wait to spend time with our families. I'll post pictures after the weekend. Angie

Two months already!!
I can't believe how much the time has flown by. Ethan is starting to get so big. He has started to smile and every once in a while "coo". We have been plenty busy with the girls activities, Eric's work and birthday party and just daily routine. I started back to daycare last Monday the 2nd. It has been quite busy trying to juggle nursing Ethan and chasing after 2- 11 month olds, Mya and a 3 year old. Doesn't seem like a lot of kids but they sure keep me going. We are looking forward to this coming Saturday when we will be baptising Ethan at our church. We are also looking forward to seeing Katie who is flying in for baptism and to Ethan for the 1st time. I am sure fun will be had by all who attend. The other day I found Mya with a whole box of Kleenex pulled out I couldn't resist taking a picture.
