School!

  My little boy is growing up!
  Last week Taevin started kindergarten. Back to school night was on Tuesday so I went a little early to help clean up and volunteer for the first few hours, and after directing people and trying to answer questions for other parents for two hours, Russ showed up with Taevin and it was my turn to be the nervous mommy with lots of questions.
  We went to the kindergarten room first and met the teachers and were very impressed, next we were off to pay the bus fee and figure out the lunch situation, and after a few pictures I was much more at ease and ready to get Taevin home and into bed so he'd be nice and rested for school in the morning.
  I was up by 5am at the request of my hungry baby so I got ready and got Taevin up at six. He put on his cute uniform and his brand new school shoes that we had laid out the night before and headed down for breakfast.
  I had wanted to drop him off on the first day to take pictures but he insisted on taking the bus, he was however kind enough to allow me to meet him at the school. He was on the bus before seven and I had a chance to chat with the bus driver, he looked so small on that big old bus!
  I met him at the school, and like any first time kindergarten mom, followed him around with the camera, if he were any older, he probably would've been embarrassed. In his classroom the teacher was playing the guitar and singing songs with the kids which put everyone at ease. The other teacher read a book and then it was time for the parents to go, a few more pictures and I was off, and I didn't even cry!
  I picked him up from the bus stop that afternoon and was happy to hear that all went well. He loves his school and I'm happy about the one we chose, it seems all of our hard work to get him in will pay off. It's going to be a great year!

   Well, we finally did it! We had a baby, and she is absolutely beautiful!   As per the usual with this entire journey, nothing went according to plan, but Mac and Katy are now holding their beautiful little girl which, makes it all worthwhile.     At 46 years old, the pregnancy was difficult. I suppose I should’ve expected it to be that way but I just assumed I had the same resiliency I did 12 years ago, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case. My body has been through a lot during this process, and I definitely felt it through the entire pregnancy, but the baby was healthy and thriving and that’s what mattered the most.     On June 27th I started having weekly appointments. Everything looked great that day, but by the time I went back on July 2nd things had taken an interesting turn. I had been having contractions for a few weeks, but over the last couple of days they had increased in intensity and frequency, still I didn’t think too much of it, but ...

Surprise!

  Sometimes life throws you a curve ball, and it usually happens just when you think you've got things figured out.    Way back when I was praying about having a third child, the number 4 kept coming to me. I laughed and told God that He would need to send twins to get Russ to agree to that number, so part of me was a little apprehensive going into our first ultrasound with Z, but alas there was only one of her so I kind of forgot about the number and moved forward... until that day when the number came back.  Zoey wasn't even a year yet and the feeling came, there was one more. Russ did not feel the same but I used every bit of convincing power within myself, and after many arguments and discussions, he buckled. He gave me 3 months to get pregnant, if it didn't happen he would get his vasectomy. I gladly took what he was willing to give and trusted that God would send this baby that He had promised within the conditions Russ had reluctantly agr...

It's finally over!

    Anyone who knows me well knows that I hate Halloween. I think it's a ridiculous waste of a holiday, a time when childhood obesity, diabetes, cavities, and greed is encouraged. And not to mention the freaks out there who use that day to perform satanic rituals and torture cats. But aside all that, nothing good has ever happened to me on Halloween, usually it's just the opposite and this year was no exception.   Friday was the ward Trunk or Treat. We had been gone all day and Russ felt bad about having left Annie home all alone so he suggested bring her along. I agreed as long as we tied her up, since she does like to run. We kept her tied to the trunk latch and everything went fine until we were getting ready to leave. We unhooked her leash and put her in the car but when the kids got in, a back door was left open. Just as Russ went to shut it, our stupid dog jumped out, took off across the parking lot and attacked our neighbors dog. Russ took off af...
