Crafty mom!

I liked the baby legs leggings that were given to Raquelle so much that I decided to make some for her! I couldn't justify spending $12 a pair on something that wasn't really a need that I could make for $1.00. We have a cold front moving in today, so I mad Raquelle 3 pairs over the weekend. They took about 30 min each since I don't have a sewing maching. They would take less then 5 min with a sewing machine. Anyway, here are some pics. This is not my favorite pair, I'm saving those for her to wear to MOPS tomorrow (if she is healthy by then...still coughing a lot with bronchitis).

Here is Raquelle working out in her leggings and onsie.

And here she is discovering the tamborine. At first, I thought she wanted to be a drummer when she grows up. Now I'm sure as she shows more and more interest in precussion instruments. Of course, in these smiliing pictures, she still has bronchitis, is still coughing and is running a fever. Can you tell?

Oh, since there is a cold front, she only wore this for the pictures to show off what I made. Once the pictures were taken, she got a pair of pants over her leggings. Posted by Picasa

Would you like a sewing machine? I have a Sewing Genie that is brand new, compact, with all sorts of accessories. I will never use it, so if you want it, it's yours!

I was sure her uncle Matt would be in percussion also but he ended up playing the baritone, so you never know! Her leggings are so cute! I hope she's feeling better.--Montana grandma

Asher has a cold too. But not bronchitis. Jason was sick with it, and now I am too. Asher doesn't have it too badly, which is good. I don't even know how to use a sewing machine, but I will learn sometime. Jason knows how (had to in the Navy - he had to fix his uniforms and sew on patches and stuff). I like how your floor looks like ours! Or ours looks like yours, whatever. Covered in toys! :)

Raquelle is here!

Raquelle Elizabeth was born Sunday March 5th at 5:49 AM after 41 hours of labor! I was sent home from the hospital 3 times Friday and Saturday because I was not making very fast Progress. Contractions started out 3 min apart Friday at noon and got really strong by about 11 am on Saturday. I could no longer stand the pain so they had to keep me this time. By 4 pm I was at 3.5 cm and Contractions were 2 to 3 min apart, and so strong I was shaking uncontrolably through them. So I begged for an epi (gave up on going natural after the first 28 hours). The epi was the most traumatic part of the whole thing. As they were putting it in, my blood pressure dropped dangerously low and they had to rip it out and give me two shots of epinephrin to raise it back up and then start over. The 2nd try, they put the needle in too deep and punctured the fluid behind the epidural cavity, which caused the fluid between my brain and spinal cord to start leaking. This causes horrible migrain headaches that th...

Almost a decade!

 I have not posted anything on this blog in about 9 years!  The kids are growing up, and last night, as teenagers, Kezzy came across this blog.  “Mom!!! You have a blog?  Can I read it?”  Since then, she and Titus have been reading everything on here, reminiscing about how cute they were when they were little.  It got me thinking that maybe I should resurrect this old blog!  I have another child now (Theo) who was never even mentioned in any previous posts, and very little is on here about Annabelle and Philemon!  I’ll have to think about what I want to write about, now that the kids are older.  In the mean time, here is a new picture of my now much more grown up children.  This picture is of me and the kids on Mothers Day.

The Dream Giver

I haven't written in a while, but as I start to toy with the idea of moving away from facebook, I find myself toying with the idea of reactivating this old blog.  I'm not sure what direction it will take.  Perhaps an overview of things I am learning?  Perhaps cute stories about the kids and every day life?  Maybe an occasional allergy friendly recipe... I don't know.  For now, I am a firm believer in life long learning and mentorship.  I strive to discipline my brain and my personal development daily with books I read, what I watch or listen to, Bible studies, and people I hang out with.  I just finished reading the book "The Dream Giver" by Bruce Wilkinson, the author of "The Prayer of Jabez."  I was surprised at how much I really enjoyed this  book! A short overview.  "The Dream Giver" is about a "nobody" named "Ordinary" who lives in the land of "familiar."  Every day, he wakes up and goes to the same job.  ...
