The week has begun

Spent last weekend over the mts. Jagger had his 2nd bday on Sunday. We had a great time staying with my sis! The boys were right at home with the big boys, tractors, a dog, goats, pond, trees, what else can I say kids need wide open spaces. Jo's landlord owns lots of property with his own construction business run from there. He has 5 boys and a girl! Most of the boys are grown buut there was one Jordan 9 who played guns with my boys! They were very very sad to have to go.

I am still getting settled home and Avery is on a strange three nap day again today. The problem is when she is awake she is very cranky. I trust it is over tired from the busy weekend.

Busy Monday

Today we got back to school w/ Micah. I decided to clean in the morning and do schooling in the afternoon. He was done in record time:) We also set up the pack-n-play in the boys room. If Avery sleeps in there the boys can play outside w/o waking her and I can clean the kitchen then at school time we can use the kitchen table. The fan in their room is also louder. Needless to say she took a 3.5 hr nap this am and has been down for over 2 hrs now! Finally getting things figured out. Roy decided Josiah dosen't need a nap anymore. Good because he goes right to sleep at night but late afternoon he gets crabby:)
Jake and Hillary's 4 month old baby girl in Ethiopia died on Sat. She had been sick in hospital for most if not all of the week. I believe they are also adopting her brother who I think is 3. Please keep them in your prayers. They were holding out for two and a baby was a priority as they cannot have any more themselves. So thankful they know the Lord is in control!

BTW I have gained 2 pounds.

Busy day

This morning I took Ian and Josiah with me to the farmers market. It was very chilly but we had a great time together. We browsed thru once then went next door to a awesome latino bakery for donuts then back to make purchases (and sample more apples!).

After lunch I dug thru all my clothes:( I have not even put my prego clothes away (kept thinking I would take pics and sell some on ebay. Wishful thinking) Now everything is away or in a proper spot in the closet. Next I will tackle my dresser however that should not be too hard. I have switched the familys clothes in record time this season:)

After Avery's nap we went to Richland to look at a house. Very big but very old and run down also right next to a very busy road:( I had packed snadwiches and fruit for dinner so we went to the park by the river and had a bit of fun!

Once home I had to make a casserol and dessert for tomorrows lunch. I am currently waiting for the cheesecake to finish baking so I can go to bed:) I still have a bunch of Sunday School stuff to do but will set it up tonight and finish it in the morning.

New park

After grocery shopping (a much more expensive trip than usual) we went to a new park. It was perfect small and quite so it was easy to keep track of everyone:) While I was doing dishes Roy fed Avery her green beans. Instead of 1/2 he fed her 3/4 of it. Oops she spit up green all over herself and me several times during the meeting. Ian thought it was really funny as it was in my hair and down my back. I knew I put off feeding solid for as long as possible for a reason!

Juggling act

Eating around here is going to be a juggling act for me. Roy has eliminated red meat and all fats possible. I have to eat more "good fats". Ian is to eat regular with not too much fats. Josiah has to eat more and try to get more of those good fats into him. Sweet Avery has to start eating ssolids. So today started the really yucky poopy diapers. I perfer to put that off for as long as possible. Today I made my menus for the rest of this week and next. Tomorrows shopping trip could be interesting:) and expensive:(
BTW Rachel yes I think Ardens molars are very early. They usually start at 2-2.5. Go Arden the sooner the better you MAVERICK BABY :0) Loved the pics from the fair she is getting so big!

Todays foods:
Coffee
cereal, w/2% instead of fat free
iced latte, 1/2 peach, cheese
scrambled eggs w/cheese, milk
iced latte, 2 marshmellows
parma chix, corn on cob, mashed potatoes

The woes of being too skinny

Went for our check ups at the health dept. Thhe head nurse/dietician saw us as several had called in sick. Ended up there longer than usual. I was drilled on Josiah Avery and I's eating habits. Both of them are under weight and I was told I didn't have enough fat to prodduce proper fattening milk. She was kind but very invasive as to their diets and we have to go back in 3 months instead of 6. Since their bloodwork was good we do not have to go back next month. Micah is 46# Ian 41 Josiah 26 and Avery 13 I officially weighed in at 122 (home scale says 118). So I need to eat more, feed more variety to Josiah, and find a quiet spot to try to get Avery to nurse longer. This is goingto be fun!

Mondays foods:
Cereal, milk
iced latte, milky way
scrambled eggs w/cheese, 1/4 peach, milk
cottage cheese, tortilla
lasanga, milk
fast break bar

Survivor is the only show that I make sure to watch i just love it. Roy dosen't:( oh well. Today we looked at a repo house. Big house 1700 sqf and yard but lots of work to do. Lots of small bedrooms, no garage and split level were the big cons for me. I hate houses where you have to either go up or down stairs when you enter the home. We will see it is only 119,000. And it is twice the size of where we are now:)
