  • Zelda Has a new Best Friend

    IMG_6675

    Really he likes him as a friend...he doesn't want to eat him.

    IMG_6682

    I put him in the plant Zelda killed by sleeping in it...

     

     

    are they not just cute together?

    the mamma bunny (Ruby) is expecting again....so in about 4 weeks or less we will have more! If you want one let me know! They are super tame,never bite,and so soft and cuddly! (they are held often by toddlers,so that helps)

    Alaina is almost one! November 15th she will be a year old....OK. Now here is a question for you.

    How can I get her to sleep all night?She is still waking up at least 4 times a night to nurse.We have tried to put her in the crib in the other room,thinking maybe if she knows i am not readily available,she will just go back to sleep.Ehh no, did not work. So now she is finally sleeping in the playpen next to our bed,verses in our bed.Well she still ends up in our bed in the morning,because after picking her up three or four times a night out of that thing,i just leave her next to me.(ok i know i am to blame!)Just if you could give me a few tips or tricks?

    I would really like some suggestions.She is so stubborn,but such a good happy baby,very content.

    when i put her in the crib again the other night around 10:00pm i did a little photo shoot because she refused to go to sleep.She was not fussy though,just wouldn't go to sleep!

    Sorry it was a little overkill on the photos,I just thought they were all too funny,and couldn't pick out a few.

    I still can't believe she went from this......

  • Homeschooling

    So this is what my kitchen looks every morning now.

    IMG_6083.JPG

    Am i excited? Maybe a little. OK Allot! First year for the both of us.

    IMG_6089.JPG

    If Laura wasn't so good at doing her work,i would never have attempted it.

    IMG_6085.JPG

    There can be so many distractions...

    IMG_6084.JPG

    But she sticks to her work like such a good girl.

    IMG_6086.JPG

    IMG_6088.JPG

    Then she tells me I am a distraction to her and to stop taking pictures.

    IMG_5025

    I am starting school this morning, 
    And I seem so very small.
    As Mom will walk there beside me
    In the Kindergarten hall.

    IMG_5051

    And as I take my place beside
    the others in the class,

    IMG_5436.JPG


    Mom will realize how all too soon
    Those first few years had passed.

    IMG_3162.JPG

    Mom saw me as,
    I first learned how to walk....

    When I began to talk.

    This little boy so much absorbed
    In learning how to write.

    IMG_3865.JPG
    It seems as though I must have grown
    To boyhood overnight.

    IMG_4412.JPG


    Mom please brush the tears away....

    IMG_4413.JPG

     


    It's my first big day!

    IMG_3812  

    Oh how I long  to stay with you

    IMG_377833

    And keep you by the hand

    IMG_5440.JPG



    I knew you would no longer be by my side.

    IMG_5450.JPG

    But I must have a chance.....
    To work my problems out


    With the privilege to grow and learn.

    IMG_5451.JPG


    I'm not a baby anymore --
    It's my turn!

    I'm in Kindergarten today!

    Love is the thing that enables a woman to sing while she mops up the floor after her husband has walked across it in his barn boots.  ~Hoosier Farmer

    We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.

  • Fall Already?

     IMG_5376.JPG  

    I can't stand the thought summer is almost over! This morning as i rolled out of bed,i wondered...is it really as cold as i think or am I sick? It was COLD! Thank goodness I wasn't sick! I am sure going to miss the lake.

    In about a week,i will send the kids off to school.Before i know it,it will be dark outside around 5:00,and UGH the wind,chills,snow,and mud will take over.I used to love winter. But i am loving warm weather more!

    For now i will think about the sunshine and being warm,to hang on to EVERY last bit of summer that is left as long as I can.

    Next year i hope to do Allot more. I am feeling so much better every year that passes since we found out about my thyroid problem and I started taking the meds. There is so much i look forward to doing. And it couldn't be more important! Four years ago,I was very,very ill,not many people knew how bad it actually was.My body temp was 94.6... I lost my balance,could not climb stairs,could not read,or focus,could not remember anything,had the worst headaches ever,I could not feel hungry or thirsty,and slept all the time. (My Doctor,after reading the thyroid results,couldn't understand how I was not in a coma.)

    People i think were a little worried about my pregnancies,one right after another. I have to say,when I was pregnant,I felt the best.It wasn't but this past pregnancy when I mentioned to the Doctor how weird it was,that I felt so good being that I had a thyroid problem,that I found out it was the extra hormones helping me recover,as weird as it sounds. (No I am not Pregnant again! I actually am enjoying not being pregnant for the time being and I am way to busy to think about it at this point.I need to focus more on God and my family and doing what I can to get through this system of things!)

     

    September 3rd will be our fifth Wedding Anniversary and I thank Mark all the time for taking care of me.He is the best thing that has ever happened to me!
