Andrew is going to SCHOOL for the FIRST time!!
Andrew woke up from his nap today and said..."I can't believe that I am going to school tomorrow. I just can't stop thinking about it." He is totally excited and when I tell him that I am going to miss him he grins. If I ask him if he is going to miss me, he says "no" and grins. For the last 3 days he has said to Kyle numerous times..."Kyle you have to play with me, or hold my hand baby because I am going to school and you are going to miss me." Gosh, I guess he sounds like me. Too cute.
Andrew and I have had some special moments together in the past couple days. He is being very senstive to my sensitivity. I joke with him that he is my baby and that I am going to cry. He kind of likes the fact that he is going to be missed and that Kyle and I have to stay home while him and Daddy get to go to school and work. For the last handful of months we have a special kiss before bed...left eye butterfly kiss, oggie moggie, right eye butterfly kiss, oggie moggie, and then a kiss. Then when I leave the room I blow him a kiss and he sends one back. Lately we have been putting the kiss on our heart. I explained to him that I can do that at school tomorrow and then if he misses me that he can remember he has a kiss on his heart. (Kind of like the kissing hand book). Honestly though, I don't think that he is going to miss me and that is a good thing. Right? Our job as parents is to prepare them to make their own decisions and to go into the world (tears). He is still my baby though. I am so proud of him. He doesn't need me as much anymore, but he will always need his mama and hopefully always love his mama too.
There is a little part of me who feels guilty sending him to school (3 half days). Aren't I a stay at home mom to stay home. Yet, I really think that Andrew is ready for more and that the time before baby #3 comes will be such precious time for just Kyle and I. Plus Andrew has started to tease Kyle by saing "Daddy is home." and it will only be 10 am. Then Kyle walks around saying "Dada, Dada." Or "Mom says that you can watch Boz the Bear." Kyle will then walk around saying "Boz, Boz!" I know that Andrew loves Kyle and I will see glimpses of it during the day, but he also likes to annoy and be a big brother. Kyle will be sad to not stay with Andrew at school (it already happened when Andrew went to camp), but he will have special Mama time.
In the past 2 weeks I have done SO many activities with Andrew and Kyle. I am worn out, but we had fun. I wanted to do somethings before school started....zoo (on a 100 degree day), butterfly house, botanical gardens, magic house, city night out, swimming, etc. I wanted to do, do, do because I won't have as many mornings to spend with him. We had fun on all of our little adventures. Daddy was able to join us for some of them too, but otherwise there I was, 6 months pregnant lugging around both kids in the hot weather. We also had a little swim party with about 10 of his friends today (the day before), went to Silkies for ice cream and talked about he code of conduct (in simple terms), watched a video of when he was born and of course read him "I see the moon book" and cuddled tonight. Oh what a day! We are excited that Daddy will be able to be there to drop you off and pick him up tomorrow and then going for lunch. What a special day! He is so spoiled that is for sure.
When we met his teacher and entered the room, there was about 10 seconds of shyness and then he was off and running. He made Mrs. Osbourn, Daddy, Mommy, Kyle and himself all wear hats during the meeting. It made us laugh. Andrew picked a bear to be a symbol by his name all year. He drew a picture...well as good as he could (not his stong point).
We had to fill out an information sheet on Andrew and I thought it would fun to look back on someday....
Favorite food: Mac and Cheese (Andrew answered some of these questions)
Games: Anything running, baseball, soccer, Candyland, Puzzles,
Toys: Pretend play...park ranger, bear hunter. balls, playmobile, dions.
Activities: camping, painting, anything that makes a mess. Rough play (FYI), exploring, going on adventures/discoveries. Dress up.
Strengths: Energetic, talkative, Math (?), soical, leader, enthusiastic, bible story knowledge, inquisitive.
Extra help:
Emotionally: Controlling/working through anger/upset. How to cope
Socially: Sharing. Not hitting back. Not always being 1st or winning.
Academically: handwritting. Attention span if he is bored.
Other things to share:
Andrew is all BOY.
He will proably be one of the youngest in schoool. He will have 2 years before kindergarden).
When he gets hurt he might say "milk" or "I want to go home." He says this even if he is home so just distract him.
I don't know why I am so tearful and feel like a bad mom for sending him to school. Maybe it is because Ryan said...for the next 20 years from now on he will be in school. Gosh, I just want my baby home, but I keep reminding myself that I can focus on him in the afternoon and it isn't like I am sending him away to bording school. (teary eyed and grinning at the same time). He is very blessed and one of the best places after being at home is at St. John School. We are so privledged to be able to send him there. I need to pray for peace. I am so excited to see what God has in store for his life. God is good!!!!

Andrew's BirthDAY in Colorado
Andrew turned 4 years old while in Colorado with the entire Peterson relation. Nana made him "bolt" pancakes, and he opened all of the gifts from our family.....all Jr. Ranger gifts....a hat, vest, net, bug sucker, etc. All the cousins went to the back yard and explored/investigated...this was proabably his favorite part of the day. Then to a park with a mountain background. He stubbed his toe and didn't want anyone to touch so it was a rough morning. He finally got over it.
Quiet lunch with Mom and Dad on the deck overlooking the mountains. Then to Keystone Ski area for an icecream treat, play time on a playground and walk by the river/mountain. He feel asleep in the car (3pm) and he was crabby when I attempted to wake him up for his PARTY at 6:30 (someone was exhausted...this was the last day of vacation). After 15 minutes of a break down and crying he finally opened some gifts which put him in a better mood. Then all of his cousins became JR. Rangers (went through the Jr. Ranger training in the Rockies). Ate cake which he cooperated well and then it was time to clean up the house because everyone was leaving in the morning. The kids watched Toy Story and I cuddled with him on the couch for a little while consdiering he was the last one in the house awake (10:30 pm because of his late nap). We gave him lots of kisses all day long and it was fun to be around family to help us celebrate!

Too Quiet???
I thought that maybe we were turning a corner and the boys were playing quietly together without whinning, crying or any sound. I was busy in the kitchen...the boys in Andrew's room playing. Well, then I got suspecious. Cosidering it was a nice day, I had Andrew's window open with the screen closed. Well, up went the screen and my two little rascles had taken all their trains, puzzle pieces, stuffed animals, some books etc and threw them out the window into the front bush. So much for a moment to myself, hey. It was kind of funny and they were actually working together well. Kyle would pick something up, hand it to Andrew and he threw it out the window. Yet, they still had consequences of course.

Generations
This is Bill and Florence Zeman, my Dad's Parents. It was so fun and interesting to look through all their old pictures. It is amazing how their life was so different than ours now, but love is love, children are children and God is and will always be God! I am so thankful for their stories and their lives. 
Here is Bud and AnnMarie Gebardt, my Mom's parents. Today marks 22 years since my Grandma died. Wow...I was only in 4th grade. It is amazing that that much time has gone by already. I am sad because I miss her, or am I more sad that I didn't get to know her better. Either way, I know that my Mom thinks of her daily....she was and still is loved. Telling Bed Time Stories about MY Grandparents
Andrew asked me to tell him a story tonight, so I told him about my grandparents. The story started off simple with me telling him their names (William, Florence, Bud and AnnMarie)….he laughed and said they sounded funny. Then I explained their houses, what they looked like, how Grandma Gebhardts had a certain distinct smell, how Grandma and Grandpa Zeman were always sitting in their rocking chairs, etc. It brought be back to when I was young. I had a stop a couple times because I was tearing up. I couldn’t believe how much I remembered about what their houses looked like and how the garages were not connected (This whole time Andrew is asking Why? And how come? And was so interested in the story) I never really thought of my parents as little kids growing up in these houses, but that is where my story went and how poppy slept in the attic and how Babka played baseball in field behind their house and how my Grandma had a coo-co clock in the kitchen.
My mascara ran and Andrew said, “Mom, wait, something is wrong with your eyes.” I explained that I was sad and that I missed my Grandparents and how they are all in heaven right now and how they loved Jesus just like we do. I had to grin. It was such a sweet moment when Andrew wiped my eye to fix the black stuff and how I was pouring my heart out and telling stories to my 3 year old son who has a hard time understanding what “yesterday” means and I am talking generations ago.
Andrew kept saying, “I want to hear more about Grandpa Ze and Grandpa Ebhrts. I explained how G.Zeman loved working with his hands and how he had a garden and a big ol’belly. And how G. Gebhardt was tall, had big ears, came to all my sporting games (did you play mama?) and made Rubarb pie (“maybe you should make some mama to remember him” Andrew said). I gave Andrew a kiss on the forehead, thanked him for listening and told him I would show him pictures of my Grandparents someday soon. What big curiosity for a little kid (“how come they were born before us” he asked).
I look forward in sharing more stories about my grandparents with my boys considering they were such an important part of my life. I ended by saying that Andrew’s grandparents love him, just like my grandparents loved me.

Packers WIN the Super Bowl!
How cool is it that the PACKERS won. Yes, we are still fans even though we live in St. Louis. We only switched from Brewer to Cardinal fans. Needless to say we were exctied.
We went to a get together with good freinds and good food and at half time Kyle threw up (which started a whole week of all of us with the stomache flue). I took Kyle home and we watched the last half together. He was good company giving high fives and taking over the remote controller. He was in a pretty good mood considering he was sick. It was a rememorable moment when the Packers won with Kyle on my lap. We were able to have a quiet celebration together. Wouldn't have wanted to spend it with anyone else but my little buddy.

Sleigh Ride with Santa
It was fun to go on a sleigh ride with you Santa. Next time can the reindeer pull us so we can fly instead of a horse? I liked it anyway. 
Letter To Santa
Dear Santa,
Although I have told you 3 times already, I want to remind you that I have been a good boy most of the time. I would like an electric tooth brush and a Geo-trax train. My brother, Kyle has been good too but he can't talk to tell us what he wants. I think he would like a bouncy ball or maybe a toothbrush like mine because he likes to be just like me. Are you resting by the fire with Ms. Clause or are you helping the elves make the toys. I hope they know how to make an electric toothrush. I saw one of your reindeer running in our yard to check up on me...I will try harder to be good. Love, Andrew.

Which would you rather have???
I choose the later.
I spent Sat. and Sunday organizing the house. I am not completely done, but I got a lot done without Andrew and Ryan around (they went to WI to our nephew's baptism...Landon). So, the house was clean when the boys came home tonight. Well it isn't anymore.....YET, I go to bed tonight not caring that the house isn't as tidy, because I would rather have a messy house filled with laughter, little kids and joy than a clean, perfect house with just me in it. I am thankful for their safe return and the fact that we were able to spend some time together tonight.
Side note: I spent intentional time with Kyle and he is a smart little boy (I guess this gets over looked considering Andrew is older and learning so much). He dances so cute on the fireplace, plays peek a boo with his hands, points to his eyes/nose/mouth, runs towards me with open arms, picks up the phone or the remote from around the house and hands it to me, etc. Anyways, it was good mommy/son bonding. Andrew came in the door and cried because he missed Kyle and he wanted to play....Kyle ended up waking up and Andrew was the most gentle, loving, considerate and genuine brother I have ever seen him be. Praise the Lord for moments like that!

Happy Thanksgiving!
I wrote this e-mail to a friend, but thought it would be a good memory of what we did on Thanksgiving..... We were going to go to WI but decided that a quiet Thanksgiving here would be more fun. (Ryan didn't want to preach and get in the car and drive all Thanksgiving day). Ryan preached, then I made the turkey will ALL the fixings and we enjoyed a day at home with us 4....eatting, playing games, napping, eatting again, having a fire in the fire place. It was nice to be home and not have to travel, but missed being with family.
On Friday we got up at 3 am and went black Friday shopping (yes, the boys too)...it was fun and a little tradition for us. Then napped, worked out and put up Christmas decorations. We had friends over (Hubmeiers) to finish the turkey and then us 4 had a sleepover in the livingroom...this is a tradition that the night that we put the tree up we all have a sleepover. Good memories!
Ryan and Andrew then went to WI on Sat. (7 hour drive) and came back on Sunday....crazy drivers. Ryan was the God Father for our new nephew, Landon. Kyle and I hung out, I cleaned/organized and had some special mommy-son time.
Good Night moments
Sometimes after a long day, when I question my mothering skills, and the kids are pushing to see how far I will go, all I need to get back to my Happy Life is their cuddles and kisses at night.
Kyle recently started to "sing" when I sing to him at night. His cute little voice/hum that comes from him is so inocent and pure. Sometimes I feel as though I ignore Kyle because Andrew needs more attention, so I have been intentionally spending more face to face time with Kyle and we are both loving it. At bed time he has created a new little routine...Diaper change with fun little games, lotion massage, and PJ's. Then he turns off the light switch, and on goes the turtle that shines stars and moons on the walls. Then Kyle points at all the animals (decals on the wall) and I say "good night Monkey," "good night elephant" (elephant is his fist animal sound and action). Then we sing while I hold him and sway back and forth and he puts his little head on my shoulder. I just love those moments. The other night I kissed him 20 times just because I could and someday he won't want all those kisses. He holds on pretty tight. Sometimes during that all, Daddy and Andrew come in the room and we pray together (Now I lay me down to sleep) and then I put Kyle in the crib, on a small doggie pillow and put on the glow worm that plays music. I have been rubbing his head and back untili he falls asleep (which takes between 5 and 15 minutes and my back starts to hurt), but lately I leave the room, he cries for 3 minutes and he is asleep. The bed time routine isn't the point, it is the bonding of a little boy and a mommy that fills my heart with love for my little buddy Kyle.
Meanwhile Daddy and Andrew are putting on PJ's, going to the bathroom, brushing teeth and reading, reading and reading. (I am so glad Andrew likes to read). Once I am done with Kyle Andrew is normally waiting for me to cuddle and read books in his room. Although he can get crabby before bed, once his head is on the pillow he is my sweet little Andrew again. He lets me rub his hair and he gives really good good-night kisses. Sometimes he is so talkative, and he will talk for 15 minutes...more if I don't put a stop to it. But the nights that I don't rush bedtime I really enjoy hearing what he has to say. He is totally funny and has this growing imagination. He sometimes puts up his army men before bed to protect him, but I keep telling him Jesus will protect him and he says well the army guys can help Jesus.
My favorite part with Andrew is when I leave the room I make two kissing noices with my mouth (just like my mom used to do) and he does it back. We exchange our I love You's and my mind erases all the back talking and disobeying that occured that day (well, maybe not all of it).
My buddies are sleeping...I have a grin on my face...God is good!

Syped with Babka
Babka wrote...."Kristy & boys skyped me for 45 minutes this morning and the Andrew called back for another 7 minutes, so Whew! Where do I begin?
Andrew surprised Mommy out of the blue this morning and came out of his bedroom and said, "I made my bed" so proudly! Mommy went in and looked and sure enough, he did a great job and even had the pillows on top! As Babka watched, mommy got Andrew clothes and he dressed himself , from head to toe with the cutest proud grin on his face. We are all so proud of him:)
Andrew showed me his 3 bedtime buddies that he always sleeps with, "Wow, Mac and Worm" (Lion, Doggie and Catepillar). He took me in the kitchen and showed me how the coffee pot has a cord on it and you follow it along the wall and it goes to electricity(Poppy will like this one). Andrew was talking so nicely.
Kyle walked and wobbled so cutely, and gave me a sloppy kiss. He looks sooo much like Kristy when she was little, that I think I am playing with Kristy. How sweet!
Kristy took the skype around the house to show me all her newly framed pictures of the boys -- so pretty--all in black frames. The house was also cutely decorated for halloween -- wow, didn't know she had so many cute decorations. They will probably schedule their Oct 31 arrival to go trick or treating here, cuz it is late afternoon in Wildwood also, but they will find different activities to do on Fri and Sat.
Kristy worked on Mon and Wed afternoon this week. Every week K has Wed morning bible school. On Thursday, they worked around house cutting bushes, hanging newly framed pictures, chinese lunch, etc. and 8 neighbors and their 7 children came over for a neighborhood party. This weekend ARKK are going to a circus Friday tonight, saturday morning family time, saturday afternoon Ryan has wedding and then will leave for Madison where he will sleep overnight at Erica's house that she rents out, but no renters right now. On to the Packer game on Sunday and for supper and overnight at Mom and Dad Peterson.
Next tuesday - thursday they are gong camping (if weather is too cold, they will go to a condo instead)
Sandi is on bedrest and she has slight preeclampsia and baby is due soon.
