A baby update, a wild child and a trip to Chicago

Hello All,

The Glass family has had yet another busy week! Tuesday was Election Day so school was out and I had an Ob appointment. The plan was for us all 4 to go and Rachel to keep Kaden in the waiting room while Ken and I went back. When they called my name and Ken and I got up to go Kaden of course threw a huge kicking and screaming fit. I was so embarrassed and told the nurse as I was going back I wasn't sure what made me think I should do this all again! LOL Ken stayed back to calm Kaden down and I went on. The nurse had just finished weighing me, getting a urine sample and listening to the baby's heart beat when Ken got back. He hated to miss it so she kindly did it again so he could hear. I don't think that sound ever gets old!! The visit was fine, the heart rate was 150, and I haven't gained any weight... yet! This is week 15 so we find out the sex next visit on June 23rd! We also got a c-section date scheduled for November 3rd!!!

Kaden has been a holy terror this week! It has been terribly challenging for both Ken and I. He screams bloody murder when he doesn't get his way and only does things on his terms!! It's enough that it drove me to tears one day. Maybe he senses all the changes going on around here, who knows. He has also decided he likes to get up with the roosters, the minute daylight hits we hear " Mommy, Daddy!". That is usually anywhere between 5:45-6:60!!! Daddy usually gets up with him since my mornings are still sick. I am so thankful for my extra rest.

Rachel left Wednesday morning for her 8th grade trip to Chicago. This is her first trip away for this long alone. I am sure she had a blast, we haven't talked to her but do know they made it safely and are on their way home now. They are expected back about 10:30 tonight. She will have lots of stories I am sure!

The new store has had a slow week. We are waiting for a plumbing permit for the plumbing to get started. Part of the building did get a new roof. A lot of exciting things are on the agenda for next week, so keep your fingers crossed!

XOXO,

We're BACK!!!!

Rachel's Confirmation

It's been quite awhile since I last posted but we have lots of new and exciting things going on that I wanted to start sharing again. First of all, most of you know that Glass Baby #2 is on the way!! We are thrilled and are 14 weeks into our journey. This pregnancy has been a lot different than with Kaden. I have been pretty sick and tired a lot. Things are slowly starting to get better. I have an Ob check up next Tuesday, we should know then when will get to find out the sex. I am thinking mid June.

Another MAJOR excitement for us right now is that we are in the beginning stages of opening our very own pharmacy right here in Midway!!! This a very exciting venture that Ken has been working hard at for almost a year. He has already left Walgreens to devote all his time to get it going. We have had tremendous support from family, friends and the community! We are hoping to be open mid-June.

The kids are good. Rachel is finishing up 8th grade and having a good time. Her school soccer team just ended and her select season has a few more weeks. She is heading on a school trip to Chicago next week, she is looking forward to that. Kaden is 2 1/2 and wild as ever. He has a John Deere tractor he speeds around the yard in and would live outside if he could! These last few days have been rough with the chilly temps, he gets bored and in turn drives Mommy crazy!!

That is a quick update, I promise to keep updating as things progress!

XOXO,

Back to School!!

Hi All,

So much has happened since I last blogged. I will try and hit most of the important things. One day last week we bought Kaden a potty to get him used to and he went pee pee in his 2nd attempt!!!! I was so happy! But needless to say he was not went since. We are not being aggressive about it at this point just asking him every now and then if he wants to go. He usually says yes and will sit down, get up run around, sit down... you get the drift! He has suckers waiting for him if he ever uses it again! We will see what Dr. Hood says at our 2 year check up about when we need to get really going.

Well school started last Wednesday, we can't believe Rachel is in 8th grade!! She didn't get on a "team" with a lot of her friends but I think he likes all of her teachers pretty well. She did get all advanced classes this year so we were really proud of that.

Last Sunday our cousins, Trey and Griffin, came to spend the night. Kaden loves them and they love to play with him. Monday morning, I took them and Rachel to see the Cincinnati Bengals at training camp in Georgetown. It was really cool to see a NFL team practice and up close and personal. We got lots of great pics and some autographs too!

Well I few weeks ago, I decided I wanted to have a yard sale... wow what a lot of work it was! We had it this past Friday and Saturday. Ashton really helped me soooo much! Candy and my neighbor, Tami brought stuff to sell as well. Ken and I ended up making close to $400 dollars! Not too shabby for getting rid of a lot of junk!! We sold our trampoline and are hoping to get a pool soon! We have one that is being given to us, we just have to move it and get it put in! Thanks Candy and Thomas!!!! Kaden loves all the goodies his late cousin Thomas gives him! Too bad they never got to meet!

Well now it's Sunday and tomorrow we are all back to work and school. We are getting geared up for Kaden's 2nd birthday in a few weeks and for football season! Kaden is perfecting his "Go Cats" and his touchdown signal!!! Here are a few new pictures of potty time, the 1st Day of school and the Bengals camp! Oh and Kaden's 1st painting experience too! Enjoy!

XOXO,

The Glass Family

Rainy Day....

Hello All,

We hope you are all safe and sound after the crazy rounds of storms today. I think Louisville got hit pretty hard! We were stuck inside all day and it went great. Kaden slept through the strongest storms, that kid could sleep through anything! We just finished eating pizza and he managed to eat a piece and a half! He loves pisza!

Last weekend we went to my grandparents in Campbellsville to celebrate my Granny's retirement. We had a blast! I think she was quite surprised! I will attach pics. We hope she will be able to come and visit us more now.

I can't believe school starts next week, the summer has flown by. Rachel finds out her classes tomorrow night. Hopefully she gets on the "Team" with some of her friends.

Kaden will be 23 months old tomorrow, I can't believe it. Ken and I were just talking about how old he is getting and how he has grown so fast! I have been making a list of words he can say for his 2 year old page in his baby book, and he can say close to 100!!! Some of my favorites are of course Mommy, but also Bless Ya, Please, hi, hey, miss you... I could go on and on! He did hear it thundering earlier looked at me and said, "Choo Choo"?! We will be planning his party soon!

We have a busy weekend planned. Ken has to work :( and Rachel will be at her Mom's but Kaden and I have a lot planned. Saturday morning we are going to Mt. Washington and I am going to attempt to plan in my Alumni Soccer game, then we may get to see Maggie play golf in Shelbyville, then back home for our cul-de-sac cook out! Sunday we are hopefully going to see our cousins Trey and Griffin play baseball in Frankfort. They may come back to our house and stay with us, we hope so!

I am attempting to have my first yard sale the 15th so I have been cleaning out things. We have too much junk.. enough to fill up a storage unit. We are hoping to clean it out and save the money. We are selling a trampoline, treadmill, home gym and really whatever else I can find!

Hope all is well with you and yours!

XOXO,

The Glass Family

Happy Birthday Ken!!

Hi All,

So, I am not doing as good as I hoped on updating more often... give me time!! LOL Today is Ken's 33rd birthday. He had to work tonight so we celebrated with breakfast and presents this morning. He is off tomorrow so I think we may celebrate with Chuck E. Cheese! We had a cook out for last Saturday, we had lots of great friends there he had a great time. Rachel is volunteering at a local church's VBS this week, she is really enjoying it. She is working in the games part. She gets her braces off tomorrow, she is so excited! I will try and post a pic of her new, improved smile! Kaden is as wild as ever. He learned pizza and picture today. He says picture when he sees a camera!! He is learning more and more everyday! I am not sure if I had mentioned before but Ashton has moved in with us. She has been here since Sunday, and we are loving it! She is living here temporarily while she starts Grad School in the Fall. Kaden especially is loving it. As most of you know, Ashie is one of his favorite people!!! He doesn't leave her alone!!! It is so nice having her here.. we haven't lived under the same roof in almost 10 years... fun times already!!! Hope all is well with you and yours. Here are some pictures and a video I took earlier of Rachel and Kaden playing "I getcha!!!" make sure your volume is turned up!

XOXO,

The Glass Family
