Challenges
It has been a very humbling and challenging month. Sorry that I’ve been radio silent for a while. We’re okay, but it’s come with its costs. I am still trying to overcome morning sickness, and that has made for some very difficult days, but especially evenings. Dovy is trying to pick up the slack, but […]
Twinners!
Whew! We’ve had an intense month! First off, I spent almost all of January in bed, trying not to vomit every single moment of the day (and most of the nights, too). It has been absolutely rough, but we were treated with one of the biggest surprises of our lives! A few weeks ago, Dovy […]
Christmas and Cakes
What an amazing holiday season. We have been truly blessed and watched over this year. We can’t believe how much we have been given and how much love we have felt. We truly love life and we’re very excited for 2014! One of those reasons, and now enough people know, is because we are expecting […]
Lost a Tooth
No, I didn’t. Anjali did! Awesome, eh? We helped pull it out with the ole’ string-and-the-door method. It was literally hanging by a thread and she just wanted to get it over with. The Tooth Fairy visited our home for the first time and left a glittery dollar for her. She has been so excited […]
‘Tis the Season – To Be Crazy!
We have been biz-ay! Christmas treats, cake practicing, two dance performances for the girls, singing at and practicing for the Ward Christmas party, music and dance practice and physical therapy have all been on the list. I am going back to PT to get my knee and hips worked on. So, in between everything else, […]
Thanksgiving and Beyond
By now you should know that if I haven’t updated the blog, it’s because I’m so busy I can’t see straight. :) It’s good to be busy, though, and I’d rather be that than bored. So, here we are. Another month has passed and we’ve been involved in lots of good (and not-so-good) causes. And […]
Unicorns and Rainbows
I feel like our weeks just keep getting more and more jumbled, crazy, and intense. We still had our foreign exchange student with us, but I started feeling like crap last weekend. I kept gargling Listerine (an old choir trade secret) and putting on a good face during the day so we could keep on […]
Konnichiwa
I’m catching up. Again. I am so busy, I just can’t keep up with anything these days. Sorry. So, the second-to-last week in October (woah, I just typed August, are we seriously in a time warp or what?) ended up being quite the adventure. We had signed up to be a host family for a […]
The Famous Frog
Let me go back a year and a half or so. One day, I found Anjali in her room during Quiet Time with an empty terrarium. There was one lonely frog left in their room, and it was missing. Turns out, she said she took it out to play with it and it went missing. […]
Lincoln’s Second Birthday
I’m a little late on last week’s post, but here it is. Link turned two! I can’t believe my baby is two. We went together and found a birthday toy together and he helped me bake his birthday cake. He is such a happy, easygoing little guy. He finds great joy in helping me around the […]
