Thanks to Cori at Scrap-e-blogs we have a custom makeover for our blog. Hope you all like it!
Not alot going on around here, just biding our time waiting for Zach to come home. We all miss him. ALOT.
Currently Jacob and I are both at home sick. Coughing, fever, congestion, stuffiness. We've got it all. I can honestly say it sucks. Normally I'd be thrilled with a couple of days at home to try and catch up everything but I have zero energy so nothing is getting done. I just want to sleep and thats the one thing that eludes me.

Sick kids= Tired Mom
Jacob has been sick for several days now. After not keeping anything down for more than 24 hours, I took him to the ER, concerned about dehydration. After 12 agonizing hours waiting there, we were told that he has an ear infection and an upper respiratory infection, and it wasn't anything serious. Got a shot and gatorade and we were on our way back home. That was Sunday.
Monday he's still not keeping anything down, so we head BACK to the ER. On the way there Jonathan started getting sick. Really sick. I had them both seen. They gave me something for the nausea for both and back home we went.
Since they confirmed that they weren't contagious, I let them go to school, but left work early to come get them. Jacob spiked a fever shortly before I came to pick him up, and Jonathan says his stomach hurts but he's not been sick again.
My lack of sleep the last several days has caught up with me and we all went to bed as soon as we got home today, around 530. Tomorrow I'll head BACK to the doctor with Jacob to be looked at more closely by his pediatrician.
Poor baby wants to eat and play but just feels icky. :(

I'm a horrible blogger...
I keep making the promise that I will come here and update and then time slips away and next thing you know it's 7 months later!
Ok..so in all fairness it isn't like I haven't had a ton going on. We moved rather unexpectedly right when school started. Zach started a new job 6 weeks prior to that. Then Zach left for his deployment in October. I finished moving by myself (and the help of a couple of friends), I've made a trip to Colorado with 4 children, a trip to Arkansas with 2, still work full time, still taking orders and working on new items, designed (sort of) my website for my store, redesigned my craft blog (which I have been better about updating), attempt to get my house in some form of order, trying to lose a few pounds, and I started taking college classes again this month.
There, I think that pretty much catches up!
Lets see...Zach is gone for another 4 1/2 months so we are closing in on the halfway point of this deployment. We miss him more than he probably knows, and we can't wait for Daddy to come back home. He's doing ok over there. I think boredom is his biggest thing, when he's off work. I'm trying to keep him supplied with books and care packages.
Ashley is doing well, in Girl Scouts, 5th grade, and is still doing homeschooling. She likes it and seems to be doing well with it. She's into horses and art.
Jonathan is doing much better at his new school. His teacher is a doll, and he's made friends. His grades shot way back up to where they usually are. He's been doing remarkably well with his Dad being gone so I am very proud of him for that!
Dagen is in Kindergarten. We decided to put him back into public school so he could get that needed structure and social aspect that I think will serve him well. He likes it so far and I think it will be a better choice for him in the long run.
Jacob is his father's son. He is a playful little guy who has discovered how to laugh but not yet figured out that he could walk without holding onto things.
I've redesigned and caught up here, so I promise now I will make it a point to do better at coming here and updating.

sorry for the absense....
So life is a little crazy and I just haven't been good at maintaining this at all.
Jacob is now 8 months old and healthy as can be. He is starting to crawl, though he has the inchworm scoot down to an art. He's holding his own bottles, working on sitting up unassisted, though not too interested in it. He'd rather stand!
We have another new addition to the family as well. Last week we adopted another dog into the family, Akela. Akela is a Siberian Husky and extremely patient. He lets Jacob do pretty much whatever he wants and is fiercely protective of Jacob from any other dog.
Ashley, Dagen, and Jonathan are happy it is summer, and just enjoying the sun. Jonathan is off spending a couple of weeks with his grandparents, and Ashley and Dagen will be here the whole month of July, so who knows what we will end up doing.
As the summer rolls in, Zach is working short orders on base, I'm still working full time, and starting to generate some interest in the items I've made from military camo so I'm spending alot of time with fabric and my sewing machine.
I'll see about getting some updated photos on here.

In keeping with Beauford "tradition", Zach dressed Jacob up in the uniform from the Air Force teddy bear for a little photo shoot. Jacob wasn't totally cooperative, however. He was more interested in the flashing light of the camera flash.
His personality is starting to really emerge now. He's smiling and cooing, and is fascinated by the flames in the fireplace, as well as the mirror above his swing.

Latest news
Life has been busy obviously. Jonathan got straight A's again for the 3rd six weeks. Jacob weighed 6lbs 12oz his last checkup and that was weeks ago. He is beginning to smile and always has to have his head up now.
