Teaser blog and update

As you all know, we are without a computer. I e-filed our taxes today and hopefully will have our return in the next couple weeks and will then be able to replace the computer and start blogging again. In the mean time, here are some pictures off of aunt Marjorie's computer

Raquelle at her birthday party (more to come when we get our new computer)
Raquelle w/a cold
Raquelle has become a bottle and blankie baby. Luckly, so far it doesn't matter what blankie, as long as she has one to drag around and snuggle. And luckly, so far she can't tell the difference between a blankie and a towel, T-shirt, or jacket. Here she is snuggling a blankie and having a bottle.
And here she is playing with Thad.

In other family news, the baby is due in 4.5 weeks and Raquelle turned 1 a couple weeks ago. I will have a lot more birthday party pictures when I can load the pictures from my camera onto my new computer. (soon I hope.) Raquelle had her 1 yr check up and shots. Here are her stats.

Weight - 21.5 lbs - 50%
Height - 29.5" 40%

So she gained 10 percentiles in her weight and lost 40 percentiles in her height. Maybe she won't be tall after all. Or maybe she's due for a growth spurt. Anyway, that's all for now. Check back in in a couple weeks and hopefully we will have our new computer.

PS. Happy Birthday Krista!

Hey, I don't know if you are interested or not, but I'm hoping to update my desktop for a lap-top in the near future. The computer is a couple of years old but we haven't had any problems with it. If you're interested in a less-expensive yet previously loved computer, let me know!

Yay I'm so happy to see an update! We miss you guys, it's been quite a while since I've seen you! Hope mommy and baby boy are doing awesome. And of course daddy and big sister too, lol! Gosh Raquelle is getting sooo big, I love her hair and her big sparkly eyes! Hope to see you guys soon. Can't wait to meet little baby boy charlick! (Have a name yet?) P.S. Need some baby boy clothes? We have a rediculous amount of clothes Alexander only wore once or twice sitting in boxes in our closet...

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.

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...

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.  ...
