Been a while....

I just haven't had much to post lately. Sorry for those of you that I kept waiting on the edges of your seats.

  • We went to a little bird zoo place in Puyo on Saturday. Sean got some great pictures (see his blog) and Brooklyn really enjoyed looking at the birds and monkeys. That was the highlight of the weekend. It all went pretty much downhill from there.
  • We tried a new place (that we'll probably never go back to) for lunch in Puyo on Saturday. We decided to go to Angel's after discovering that the pizza place was barely opening and "didn't have the oven preheated yet." There was also evidence that they were going to be having a birthday party there and we knew it would take eons to get a pizza - we weren't in much of a mood for a lesson in patience. Where we ended up eating was so-so. Sean and I were both lucky enough to get a chicken foot in our soup. Dessert was just...funny. See the picture below. Fancy.

  • I started getting a bad headache on Saturday afternoon. It lasted until late Sunday afternoon and so I pretty much laid around all weekend.
  • A few nights ago I had some fresh strawberries. We love fresh strawberries drizzled with a little bit of sweetened condensed milk for a simple dessert and so I popped open a can and tried to pour it on the strawberries. It didn't pour very well at all but I kept trying. It was like glue. I got a little on my fingers in the process and licked it off without even thinking. Finally, after I'd gotten a big blob on top of the strawberries, I realized something wasn't right. Looked on the bottom of the can. Expired 15 August 2005. Ugh. We bought that can this month. I should have learned by now to check expiration dates. Luckily, I was the only one that dealt with the ramifications of eating two-year-old sweetened condensed milk. That was in addition to my headache. Grrrr....

Maddie's Big Day!

I'm just gushing over here.  My second-born took a big step today and made a decision for Christ!  We were having a talk in the car on the way to the store about heaven and next thing I know she's over there quietly folding her hands and whispering a prayer to Jesus. When she was done, she looked over at me with a big smile and said, "I have so many blessings from God, Mommy!" Indeed. Happy Born Again Day, Madison Elizabeth!  We love you so much.

If you can't beat 'em....

Brooklyn can't seem to resist writing on the walls. I finally decided to put an end to the battle.... Now she has her own special place in her bedroom to be as creative as she wants (within reason). This can be painted over and it gives her some boundaries while still allowing her to be "creative." I'm not sure she'll have any interest in writing on the wall now that it isn't against the rules but I sure had fun painting on the wall. I'm tempted to paint myself a square to doodle and scribble on.

About Last Weekend

  Let me just say, everybody is fine.  But that picture up there, in Brooklyn's sweet note to her Daddy, pretty much sums up our weekend.  Blood.  Lots of it.  Flowing out of Sean's foot.    On Sunday afternoon Sean was using a weed-eater to try and tame our wild, jungle grass in the yard.  This weed-eater, rather than having a nice, docile nylon string was basically a little metal machete propeller.  Which, incidently, is not so safe when you accidently get your foot in its way.   Ugh.  Let me just say that seeing my husband's foot bleeding profusely was mighty disconcerting.  I worked in a dialysis unit, mind you, and regularly dealt with people's blood.  But when it is somebody you love, it just can't be helped to feel a little woozy and worried at the sight.    Praise God, it wasn't a toe and Praise God it wasn't any worse.  We were able to drop the girls off with our teammates and get him to t...
