Well, we are settled into out temporary home.  It’s weird because we sleep in the living room.  Kinda feels like a hotel in a way.  I feel terrible.  I started birth control yesterday and I already feel like crap.  I don’t know what to do.  I shouldn’t have paid for three months worth of this… Continue reading Ugh

The second post of the day. I’m at Jennie’s house with Silas on my lap. He’s watching his favorite Mini Wheats commercial over and over and over again.

We’re about to disconnect ourselves from the real world for the next 5 days.  I’ll try to get to a computer in the mean time lest I go crazy.  The move yesterday went well.  I mostly had to take care of my little half pint but the men did good work!!  I’m exhausted.  I had… Continue reading So Long For Now

The men are hard at work as we speak. My brother in law Terry’s back is wet….he says it’s because it’s raining but it’s not.

Isaac has a new nickname. Last night Silas called him Ikey Ohkey-Oh. It’s perfect and it stuck. What a funny kid that Silas is. He’s given me lots of kisses today so far so I’m happy with him. He’s got a CD case open and he’s talking in gibberish like he’s reading a book. He… Continue reading Ikey Ohkey-Oh

Well, I think I’ve spent WAY too much money on bum products for Isaac lately.  I can open my own bum cream store with all the jars of the stuff I have.  The Penaten did the trick though.  But now I’ve gone and purchased the non medicated Penaten stuff for keeping his bum safe, it… Continue reading Bum Cream
