Well this day is almost done!! Today was a busy day but I took some time to watch Avery play. She had ventured into the kitchen (hard floor has kept her out this long) and pulled down my basket (gift from Ted and Rachel a few Christmasses go) of bags. She played with it the got distracted by a fly. For 5+ mins she watched it fly around the kitchen. It landed and she crawled toward it and it naturally flew away. This went on for about 15 mins. Then she noticed the sun on the floor from the window this was facinating for her and she noticed her shadow too! Off to the fly swatter a boy had left on the floor but mom spoiled the fun there :) and a large stick in the corner (broom and dustpan) mom spoiled that fun too :) She then had a blast exploring under the table and thru the chairs. I need to do this more often. It truly was a wonderful time watching the little ladybug explore a new area! Hope ya'lls day was in some way as rewarding as mine. :)

We have a announcement to make!

We have a little announcement to make! We have a new member in our Ficek family. Roy went to the pet store with Ian (his absolute favorite place) and came home with an iguana! I was shocked at his spontanious ( not sure how to spell thta?) purchase. He is little but don't know actual age. Must be a baby I am thinking. So Rachel do you still have yours? How big was it when you got it? Ours keeps a close eye on the boys and scampers around if they get near the tank. Ian thinks it is great to get close and have him run terrified back and forth. He has already lost two front claws I assume from running scared. Poor little guy:( What did you feed yours when he was young? Did you hold it a lot? Any advise? I am not a pet person but am enjoying the little fella:)

coffee
Cheerios,milk
peanut M&Ms
oatmeal W/brown sugar
iced latte

Thankful for good baby boys!

Avery is my absolute worst baby and yet everyone says how good she is. After a very messed up Aug and beg of Sept we had two very good Normal days. 11-12 hrs at night with 2 3-4 hr naps in the day. This morning I met a friend at the mall, since Avery will not sleep in he car she had no nap. Got home in time for lunch and put Avery and Josiah down for naps so I ccould do schoolwork with Micah. Her nap lasted just over a hour:( I have always said once they learn to sleep long at night they will take longer naps and vice versa. I am convinced that I am right :) She is in bed now crying (has been for awhile) Josiah would cry for a min or two and go back to sleep. My stubborn little girl. I am grateful that while out and about she almost never cries even when nap is missed. so I shoulnt complaine too much just not go out:) I never realized how easy the booys were. They are all a blessing from the Lord!! Better log food and get the little ladybug:)

Todays food:

Cheerios, milk

iced latte

pb&honey on wheat

I'M BAAAAACK!!!!

Wow what a whirlwind the last month has been. Our week at the ocean was great. Lots of fun and relaxation! Not fun was the 7 hours drive to get there:( Got home in time for Roy to leave and work out of town. He got home just in time to go to Mark's wedding. It was beautiful and we had a great time at the wedding and his cabin. I had only met Chad from those Ficeks so it was great to finally meet the family!! We are going to try to drive out to see them next spring/early summer (only 9 hrs away). On our way home from the wedding I got news that a friend from home was being flown to Seattle. She woke up with a bad headach and went back to bed never to wake again. She went to be with her Lord early Sunday morning. She was only 44 and left 4 kids ages 22-14 and a shocked husband. Please pray for the Andersons. So I packed up the kids and went to my parents so I could go to the funeral. Now I am home and plan on not going anywhere for a while. So back to blogging my food:)
