Update

Sorry that it has been so long since my last post. Things are crazy around here and I never seem to have time to do anything.

My sister Jessa started her first round of chemo last Friday and is feeling tired and sick some (which is pretty normal). But, all and all she is doing pretty good considering. The doctor has said that this is the fastest that any patient of hers has gone from diagnosis to starting treatment. This is probably due to the fact that my dad is a research scientist and did a lot of cancer research back in the day. He at least knows what is going on and has stayed on the doctors' backs until they scheduled her for chemo.

We have been glad to have Aunt Jessa around more and the kids are crazy about her (especially Tobin). He gets super hyper and loud around her which is hard since she is tired a lot. The other day he was so excited to see her that he started running into walls (literally). That kid tires me out. He never stops throwing things, hitting, running, yelling, or messing with his sister. I am so tired all of the time.

Baby Jessa is doing so well on the attachment front and it seems like she was always with us even though it has only been 3 months. She is a huge Mama's girl and cries if I leave the room. I have to sleep right next to her and the crib has long been put up since she hated it so much. She has a toddler bed now and will stay in it for a few hours at the start of the night before waking up and wanting me.

She now seems so attached that she has started to act like the feisty one year old that she is. She has started to pick up things and hit Tobin with them (wonder where she learned that from) and does things over and over even though I keep saying no. She can be really easy going or really stubborn. She doesn't like being told no and will keep pushing and pushing or throw a fit.

She hates it when Tobin tries to get into my arms or sits in my lap. She will then start crying and climbing all over me which will set him off as well. They will both cry pushing each other trying to climb up me even though I am sitting right there. It is like they are trying to climb on my head or something. Times like that my sister just looks at me and asks how I make it through the day. God's grace I suppose. I defiantly do not have easy going children, but they are sure a lot of fun and I wouldn't change it (though it would be nice to take a shower or go to the bathroom by myself once and a while).
