Good times


I am trying to keep up with life. We have been busy and having lots of fun, but I have not done much other than the bare minimum. This pregnancy has really taken me down. The nausea which usually stops in the 2nd trimester has been just as strong, and the fatigue has not let up either. That said, I am so grateful that everything is going well. The baby wasn't growing very well at first, and seems to be doing just fine now. We found out at our last appointment that it is most likely a boy, and we are so happy.

Now for the rest of life. D has been enjoying kindergarden, but he is having problems not talking all the time. (No surprise there). We'll keep working on that, but overall he is very happy.

He asked me to take this picture of him and Kirby. Such a funny little guy.

K was super excited to start neighborhood preschool. She wore her new green dress, and was super excited. I was glad that she didn't have any anxiety about leaving, and seem to do well. It is only once a week, but it helps her feel big.

Here is K just being K. She has been so much fun lately. Her little imagination is so fun to watch. Recently she has been talking about "fancy ladies". She told us that fancy ladies wear fancy dresses, and wear diamonds, and sparkly shoes and walk like this (as she saunters across the room). When I asked her what fancy ladies ate, she immediately replied "Celery!". Just the word celery has created many moments of laughter in our home.

Oh. I do hope you get feeling better soon. If I lived closer, I would come help with laundry or something. Cleaning is very relaxing for me :) I'll just send positive, unneauseating thoughts your way ^^hugs^^ Kirby is adorable, btw, how he just poses with D. I wish I could get my girls to act like "fancy ladies." That's a hoot!!

I hope she's not wanting to eat celery to save calories, she needs some meat on her bones!

I love the picture of her, she looks so grown up. I hope your nausea lets up too.

What a cutie! Take a nap : ) And try ginger essential oil for that nausea. If I lived closer I would fix you right up : ) Or just watch the kids.

Keep singing until the end of the song

Since my last post we lost 2 more precious babies.  On September 30, 2016 we lost our beautiful baby girl Felicity at 5 months.  Almost a year later, we found out we were expecting agin.  Sadly on Dec.1, 2017 we lost our little boy, Elijah.  I need to write their stories, but the feelings and emotions are still very raw and difficult.  While I hope to share them someday, today is not that day. Today is December 21, just a few more days until Christmas.  I LOVE Christmas.  The lights, smells, delicious food, family and friends, and especially the music.  I love to sing Christmas songs and look forward to it every year.  But this year it was hard to sing the songs I love so much.  This year singing about the miraculous birth brought sadness and even anger.  I have struggled to feel the Christmas Spirit. I imagine it is difficult to experience any loss during the Christmas season.  A holiday that focuses so much on family, fri...

Disneyland and California

Wow, what a fun adventure we had. It was a perfect vacation. Everything was fantastic, and we had a blast. Here is a quick little run down. (the pics are not in order, sorry). Here is the mandatory picture of the kids in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Just a cute picture of K up in a tree house on pirate island (formerly Tom Sawyer's island) One of the biggest highlights of the trip was D being chosen to participate in Jedi training camp. He was so excited he was actually shaking. It was AWESOME. He got to learn some Jedi moves from a Jedi master, and then he got to fight Darth Vader. It was really fun, he is still talking about it. Here we are on one of the Bug's Life rides in California Adventures. The highlight for K was seeing and talking to real princesses. She was nervous at first, but quickly warmed up. She was so cute and sweet, it almost made me cry (the 2 hr. wait in line cured me of any tears). She kept telling us how Belle had a dress "all the...

The joy of family pictures

Why is it so hard to get a good family picture.  I would be happy if everyone just looked at the camera.  Here are our latest pics. This was our best family picture.  As you will see, K did not want to cooperate.     Isn't that fun.  All the crying and the whining, and that was just Kent.   The kids and the dog took some cute pictures.   Kent and I did okay.  Together we were a mess.  By the way, this is the picture I ended up using to represent our family.  It seemed the most fitting.   Someday, (sigh) someday we will have a great family picture.
