After a few sleepless weeks


Jace let mommy sleep 4 hours in a row last night. Is this baby for real? He is the sweetest little guy and as a family, we are blessed to have him. For the first week, jaundice and body temperature kept us alert. We visited the hospital almost daily in his first week home. He has been poked and prodded and has taken it so well.
I love to watch him sleep...he smiles so much that I wish I had a camera for every time...I will try to capture this moment. But for now, I am happy with shots like these.
This morning, his older sister Savannah watched him in his bassinet and sang a song to him about sleeping and happy dreams. He watched her intently and was entertained. It was adorable to see!

Still Here...
Wow...it is almost February. Just catching up on life at my home. At this point, I am waddling around with a 5 lb 3 oz baby in my belly, at only 33 weeks!!! At 40, carrying a baby is different than when I was pregnant with Savannah. New 40 year old pregnancy quirks include: aches in my inner hips when I walk, grunting when I put on socks or nylons, LOTS MORE Braxton Hicks, and numb hands and arms while sleeping, driving or holding up a book to read. Aside from this, I am excited to meet the quickly growing little guy. Jon and I are in a mad rush to finish his nursery, and Savannah is prepping to be a wonderful big sister/momma #2. She is maturing and is so much fun these days. I look forward to seeing her with her little brother...pics are forthcoming!

Reindeer Party






I posted these pics backwards...so the bottom pic is the first and up you go from start to finish. Savannah had a great time at her friend Haleigh's Reindeer Party. I was very impressed with the creativity of this party...Haleigh's mom...you know who you are! Savannah was singing Christmas songs about Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer after putting her to bed...until she finally drifted off to dreamland. It was a great party for the neighborhood kids. Thank goodness for creative party moms!

'Tis the Season

"Santa, I want Zhu Zhu Pets and Marshmellow Candy Canes."
Well, Mom wrote ahead to Santa and if Missy is a good girl, she will be seeing her desired toys under the tree via Santa. As for the Marshmellow Candy Canes, I can't remember where she saw them so I'd better go seek them out to add to her stocking. Wish me luck.

Halloween and Beyond
Okay...here's the story. She was acting silly and was quite tired when I came to pick her up at her Grandpa's house today. While running around crazy, she ran straight into the bumper of grandpa's truck. She began to bleed...
Luckily, there were no loose teeth...just a "boo boo" to the gums. Between sobs, she asked why grandpa moved his truck.Tuesday, October 27, 2009

Welcome home, Sally & Macaroni


I was outside watering plants and noticed what looked like a frog in my window well. To get a closer view, I went down in the basement and confirmed it was a frog...and it wasn't dead. When I went down again to show Savannah the frog, we noticed a second one. Savannah decided to name them Sally & Macaroni. In talking to my mom, she stated my grandpa Moroni went by the name "Roni" in high school...so for short, we will call Macaroni "Roni". Grandpa would be so proud. So without further ado, meet our newest pets...care-free and in their own environment. Introducing, Sally & Macaroni.

Where do they come up with this stuff?

Okay so today I drove "Little Miss" and myself home from Dad's work. We just finished washing my car and were on our way to get her a courtesy cone at Arctic Circle. Out of nowhere, she asks, "do frogs have teeth?"In my infinite wisdom, I answer "I don't know". I hoped that would end it.
Not five minutes later, she asks it once again. This time I thought about it and answered, "I think they have long tongues to help them catch and swallow flies."
After getting the icecream, we are pulling into the driveway to our home. She asks, "Do ants go potty?" I said, "I guess so." She responds by asking, "How do ants go potty?" I answered by saying "like dogs, I guess."
Seriously, what goes through the heads of four year olds? Well, today I got somewhat of an idea.
