Random Update

I haven't blogged in a bit, so I figured I'd give an update.
Orin is great, of course. He's been acting up, but he's trying to be good and helpful.
Ben is, well, Ben. He tries so hard to communicate. We officially start speech therapy next week.
Now, the baby is a'movin' and a'shakin'! At 5 months, I already look like I have a basketball in my belly {well half in my belly, half in my butt}. He seems to get bigger every day.
Still no name picked out, but we have plenty of time. I haven't gotten any family feedback whatsoever, so I'm thinking they {the extended family: grandmother, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.} aren't interested. I have sent update emails to them, and receive no response. Oh, well. It depresses me, but I can't let it get to me. I have my boys, Thomas, and my brother. In addition, a have my small handful of friends. I guess that's all I need. My mother tries to help, and she does what she can, but she has tons of obstacles to overcome right now, some of which her children {us} have helped to cause inadvertantly. {Mom, if you are reading this, I love you and don't blame you for anything.}
Well, I think I have babbled enough. Peace be with you all.
