Life Goes On

Well, we are working on our fourth ear infection of the month, Natalie's second. We have never really had problems with them until this year. Not sure what I am doing wrong! Natalie was in a lot of pain and grabbed her ear and blurted out, "I think my bones fell out! Mommy, can you put them back in?" Where does she come up with these things?

The temperament of of a preschooler seems to change in split seconds. This morning she was not happy with me over something, and was sitting on the couch crying "It's not fair!" Then, a few minutes later when I gave her something she wanted, she said, "I love you soooo much mommy!"

We ate Arby's for dinner the other night, and the ham melt, which is what Natalie had, is dusted with sesame seeds. She asked what they were, and I told her. She instantly asked, "Do they grow on Sesame Street?" She never even watches that show!


This is how she regularly sleeps, legs crossed and all!

Megan is full of curiosity and is always figuring out new things. She does not have Natalie's normal fear and hesitancy. She goes full force for whatever she wants. Our latest battle is the dog's water dish. We can't really hide it, because the dogs do, after all, have to have water, but she will not leave it alone! She also is very heavy, and recently pulled a kitchen chair down on top of herself. Ouch! Otherwise she is a happy and healthy little girl! Her latest game is the "winking" game. She will blink at us (quite obviously) and wait for us to wink back. She loves it!

Awww...the winking game sounds SO cute, and I love the way Natalie sleeps. TOO adorable. Sorry to hear about the ear infections, though. No fun there.

My Story Begins

I am participating in a really fun project that is the brainchild of my friend Janna, who regularly blogs at The Adventure of Motherhood . Her project, entitled Mommy's Piggy Tales , encourages moms to blog about their childhood in 15 weeks. Here is the button if you want to learn more or consider joining. My dad, my mom, and me. My daughter, N, has that quilt now. Every year for Christmas my brother and I received our very own holiday ornament. Starting with the “Baby’s First Christmas” ornament, these ornaments usually reflected something we accomplished or did during the soon-to-be-past year. For example, the year I got my driver’s license, my ornament was Daffy Duck in a shiny new car. Every year we enjoyed putting “our” ornaments on the tree. It was a wonderful time to reflect back over our lives and the memories we had made. Sometimes we asked the reason behind the ornament, and learned a little more about our histories. When I married, I got a box with my ornaments in it to ...

Preschool: Life Changing Years

I have been thinking since last week about what to write when it comes to preschool. I am participating in a fun project put on by my friend Janna at Mommy's Piggy Tales. Check it out! There are so many options. I could write about my imaginary friend, Polk-a-Roo, who I was actually a little afraid of. I could write about losing my favorite My-Little-Pony, Firefly, in the sandbox when some mean boys buried it at preschool. I could write about my only child, only grandchild years before my brother came along. I could write about my first “best friend,” the girl across the street (Klaire), who I sobbed over when it was time to move away. I could write about all of those things, but the truth is my preschool years are some of the most important of my life. See, my parents wanted me to be a “good person.” To reach that goal, they started going to church. Not long after they started attending church, something happened that would change the course of my life forever. My parents, throug...

Christmas Miracle

Natalie was hamming it up for Tim the other night. Well, a lot has been going on in the past two months. About a month or so after the miscarriage, I was noticing something wasn't quite as it should be. I took a pregnancy test, and it came back positive. That was strange to me, because we were trying to prevent that as requested by the doctor. They called me in for blood work, and everything was indicating that I was pregnant. I was quite confused, as you can probably imagine. Two weeks ago we went in to have an ultrasound. That was eight weeks after the miscarriage. In that ultrasound they found what appeared to be a baby developing at 5 weeks gestation. We were quite perplexed, of course, because in our minds it should be about 8 weeks. The doctor asked us to come back today because at 7 weeks they should be able to see a heartbeat. The doctor said there was a good chance that there were just leftovers in there because of the earlier miscarriage, but that my numbers (hormone leve...
