Because I haven't

Haven't blogged, but have intended to. What is the current status with the Petersens? Most of you have the update, but it is fun to read. I will also add pictures. Hmmm, where to start.

Joe. He has his meeting in Atlanta this week. Pray. Then pray some more please. Making lots of cakes and loving it. It is really fun to watch him. He plans to teach all the kids, once they are old enough. I think that is awesome. I will never have to bake a cake again!

Heather (me!). I miss food. My crazy stomach cramping thing is really starting to get old. I have found if I eat no more than about 1 cup of food at any one time, I do pretty well. This is doing great things for my metabolism and I am losing weight. I'm pretty sure it is cheating to get sick and not eat every time I need to lose weight, but it works! Young Womens is crazy, but it always is about this time. Being a mom is as tiring as ever with all the sports, but exciting. My colonoscopy and biopsy were normal. Blah blah. It took 1 nurse, 1 doctor, and 3 anesthesiologist to get the I.V. in. At this point I was going into shock and hyperventilating. So, they put me on oxygen and knocked me out. So much for routine. The bruising was rediculous. Never, ever, ever, let anyone, under any circumstances, put a needle into the inside of your wrist. EVER! PAIN! This is a picture of two of the attempts. There were 6!

April is really starting to get in to softball. She is the youngest on her team, but you wouldn't know it. She is missing friends, but now that summer is here, we are hoping to have more play dates. She is no longer attending 4H meetings, because of some things that happened. She is still planning on entering the fair in August. She is getting entirely too grown up. She told me the other day, she was tired of people telling her wht to do. She knows what to do, just tell her to do it. Umm, o.k.? She is really doing well with piano. She has even started teaching Joe.


Chloe is still Chloe. Need I say more. She takes life as it comes, cries sporadically and laughs a lot. She too is enjoying her softball. Chloe has made it her goal to keep up with Daddy in piano. She is doing well.

Ethan is still recovering from a nice crash with his slide. It left a nice black eye. Ethan insists he won the battle. He was very excited to have a black eye for t-ball pictures and disappointed to see it healing. Ahhh, boys will be boys. I don't have a great picture of the eye, too bad.



Collin broke his baby toes running through the kitchen. Yes, boys will be boys part 2. He keeps slamming it against things and it is crazy swollen. I think I am going to have to put him in shoes round the clock for a while. And his birthday's coming up. Or at least he has been telling me, for 3 months.


David is roly poly and lovin solid foods. He is starting to move around quite a bit and is just about to break through tooth 3. Chews on everything. Crib included. Despite what he may think, we do not consider these things to be acceptable solid foods.


Whew, how is that for an update? Enjoy the pics.

I can't wait to see your family! Still can't believe David is already on tooth three. We are gratefully still waiting for Jaime Lynne's first.

I love updates! How did t-ball go? I have only heard bad things, so we have avoided it and opted for soccer which we loved!
