Meeting Bucky
Jeff and the gang got a new dog this past weekend. Tonight we went over to meet him and fell in love. He’s the sweetest ever. Pics!
Kids Yoga
Thalia wasn’t feeling well. So she’s spent a couple days at home last week. She watched me do my yoga on the first day and wanted to do her own. So I found her a kids yoga video and she loves it!
Autumn Weekend 2011
On Friday we went for a run and picked wild flowers on the walk home. Java joined in the fun. Then Daddy cooked us up some potato and egg skillet lunch while Mommy baked a homemade sweet potato pie. Both were delicious!
On Saturday, we got up and started our pumpkin carving. Thalia quickly drew her “silly face” on her baby pumpkin. While she had a messy little tea party, Daddy carved a Gator! And Mommy went for a skull since her pumpkin was skull-shaped. It all turned out perfectly. This afternoon, we’re all heading to Thalia’s best school bud Maria’s birthday party!
Pumpkin Partay!
The fam (minus Unca AL) got together Wednesday night to have some yummy cheesy dip dinner, eat some Graveyard Pudding, drink some Mummy Juice, visit a nearby pumpkin patch, and watch It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. We.. had.. a.. blast. Documented. Fun Stamp.
Cedar Key Seafood Festival
Trip to Grammy and Grandad’s for the Cedar Key Seafood Festival and Kanapaha Orchid Show and Plant Sale.
Garden #2
The first garden is doing wonderful. Beans are coming in. We’ve harvested a handful of Jalapeno peppers already. Collards and lettuce are about ready. Carrots and onions are coming in nicely. So we decided to put in a second garden. We’ve got more collards going in it. Also, Kale, more lettuce, bush beans, cucumbers and cherry tomatoes. It’s going to be a salad fiesta! Pretty pictures:
False Alarm
My hormone levels are not rising normally. In fact, they’re dropping. I’ve been bleeding for the past 5 days and it’s getting worse. It’s not officially a miscarriage yet. But it will be on Friday when they confirm it with an ultrasound. I’m disappointed, sad, and shocked that it happened to me. But we’ll be ok. It’s just a little too… you know… life.
I’ve shed my tears. I’ve mourned my loss. And I’m not done yet. But I already anticipate a quick recovery… and a certainty that I will try again once my body is ready. I’m not the pessimist I used to be. I’ve grown a lot over the past year. And I know that happiness is what you make out of life. I still have a fantastic life with one little setback. It won’t set us back too far, I’m betting. So don’t feel sorry for us. Everyone has their hardships and this one is temporary.
