Kids

Our kids have really done an alright job with the mixing of the families...okay, I'll rephrase that...Natalie has done alright. Lauren and Tyler...let's just say there have been struggles. I really think we're starting to have some breakthroughs...and thank goodness for it!! Tyler did such an awesome job last Sunday that he earned a "Tyler only" night...no sisters:) He was pumped!!! I picked him up from Asbury and took him to get a new coat. He picked it out, and I was quite impressed with his bargain shopping abilities...picking out a $23 coat that was originally $60!! Way to go:) Then we went to dinner at Fritz's, and he was in awe of the train delivering the food. Abigail was quite intrigued as well. Each time we would see a train go by, she'd just keep saying "again...again...again" Too cute!! Afterward we went to Chip's Chocolate Factory and he picked out (a ton of) treats. He had a $20 giftcard to Toys R Us, so he got to go spend it. I think he had a pretty fantastic time!! Hopefully it will encourage all of them to shape up and work for their own special time. Natalie asked me the following day if I would pick her up (and only her) and take her out for her own night! It was cute. Lauren gets so much of my individual attention, but I hope it will encourage her as well to be a little more open to the changes in our family. We got her a couple new pair of jeans, so when she comes home hopefully she'll be excited for those:) I have some unrelated pics to put up...hopefully they'll load:)
