It's been awhile....

Good grief! I haven't written on here in months! Well it's been a busy Abke house around here. Sean's brother Deon has been living with us for a few months (long story) and so we will randomly have one or two of his kids come visit. We also just had our living room repainted! Yay! I secretly hated the 1st color (yellowish) but it was too much work to re-paint the 600 foot walls. This time we hired some cheap help and it was soooo worth it. The new paint fits our style better and is so much more relaxing.
Also, Sean has recently started working from home which is exciting. He still kind of works for the same company, but is an agent. So technically he works for himself, which is just another step in opening his own company one day! Sean loves it so far, because he doesn't have to listen to all the negative gossiping old ladies at his work and gets to stay out of all the drama. This will probably help with his health issues which have recently come up.. For the last month or two he has been randomly getting nauseous and his stomach will burn.. It got so bad that he had to get some anti-puke medicine before we went on our trip to Wisconsin just so he could enjoy himself. It didn't help that much.. I drug him to the doctor which referred him to another doctor which referred him to another doctor. The last one we visited did an ultrasound on his belly to make sure he didn't have gallstones and would then have to get it removed. Sean secretly wanted this to happen (because he is crazy) so that they would remove it and he wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.. I am anti- surgery so I was praying that it wasn't the case. The results haven't came in yet, but the doctor doing the ultrasound said that everything looked normal! Even his liver!! Woo Hoo! hahaha So now we have to make an appointment for the GI doctor and they are going to knock him out and put a scope down his throat to check his stomach for ulcers. (I have been telling him it was this for months, but he won't listen) :) So we will see what happens!! He is extremely freaked out about the scope down the throat thing...and said he would rather have them cut his stomach open and remove an organ, than do that. I know...crazy. So we are praying that everything is fine, but I just think he has a stress induced ulcer, from his "challenged" brother and the crazy people at his work. He has been feeling better though, because I got him to stop drinking coffee and force him to eat organic healthy foods and drink anti-stress tea. :)

Other than that... Reese is amazing and smart and says hilarious new things every day!! She is really good at her sentences and loves to sing Twinkle Little Star and Row Row Row Your Boat... Which are both equally hilarious. We caught her singing on camera, so one day I will try to put it on here. She took swimming lessons this summer and hated it every day except the last two. Go figure. She is protesting the potty because she is extremely stubborn and wants to do everything on her own time. Plus, one day she told me that it was too cold on her buns. Sean suggested a seat warmer, and I told him over my dead body. Hahaha what lengths we will go for our children... She also likes helping daddy in the office by grabbing all of the faxes that come in and running them over to him.. We will see how long that is considered cute. :)

I have other Binkie Baby news, but I'm sleepy now, so I will catch everyone up on that later!!!
