Playing together!

Ever since I was pregnant I've told people how great it would be having kids so close together. I've always said it would be hard at first until they started to play together. I expected them to become playmates maybe when Titus could walk. Well, it's happening sooner then I had expected. Titus and Raquelle are quickly becoming best friends. Raquelle's first words out of bed in the morning are "Tissis?" followed by "dada?" asking where they are. Here are some pictures I got of their play time. (No T is not over dressed, it was raining and cold the other day!)

Raquelle can buckle and unbuckle Titus from the high chair. This means it's not safe to put him in the chair and then go get his food, I have to make his food first, and then put him in his chair.

Raquelle likes to read to Titus. She thinks the books are about him. The wale in the fishy book is "Tissis", baby Jesus in her bible book is "Tissis" and Moses in the basket is also "Tissis".

Here Raquelle is shaking the toys for Titus while he plays.

Did you notice T's hair? If not go back and take a look. After the last post, Thad finally let me cut it. He now has boy hair. It was sad to see the little baby curls go, but when combed down, it was past his chin! Now he looks like a boy again.

 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.  ...
