Pay it Forward

So my friend, Andrea, is doing this pay it forward thing. This is how it works..... The first 3 people to leave a comment on this will receive a hand made gift from me during this year (because Im slow?). When and what will be a surprise. There's a small catch...You knew there would be didn't you? Post this on your blog then come back and leave a comment, telling me you're in. Fun, huh? Remember, only the first 3 comments receive the gift.

Little bit of football, little bit of waxing

So we had the best Superbowl Sunday. We usually dont do anything with it being fast Sunday and all but we decided to go for it this year and head on over to our friends house. The food was awesome, the company was great and we also had a little waxing done.And Lucy and Patrick had a great time playing

Busy Busy Busy

I have just recently become more busy than I ever thought possible. This is not a bad thing, its just something that I am going to have become accustomed to. I was called as the new Visiting Teaching Coordinator for our ward. I bow to Carla, who I'm sure is relinquishing this calling with great joy. I never knew how much it involved and I am now non-stop housewife and mother. Patrick is now going to pre-pre-school on Tuesdays and Thursdays and that just adds to things I have to do, but it is nice to have him out of the house for those 3 hours each time and I am able to get more done while he is gone.
I am really hoping that after March, which is our VT Conference, things will slow down a bit. I am however greatful for this calling because I am able to get to know the women in our ward when before I didnt make much of an effort. I have also been sewing quite a bit. My friends seem to keep having babies, STOP IT!! But I have enjoyed making their gifts instead of buying them, so that adds more to do.
So add all that to my duties at home and with taking care of my children and husband, I have a lot to do. So, there you have it. My life.

Some journaling

Elena cut her first tooth today. No wonder she keeps blowing raspberries on us.

Our 5 Month Old

Elena is now 5 months old. I cant believe it. Time is going way to fast and I need to enjoy this time as much as I can. Elena is the sweetest little girl. She loves to eat and now that she is eating baby food, she is sleeping better. She is only waking up once usually. We havent had a full nights sleep yet but hopefully soon. She laughs when we do silly things but she laughs more at her brother because she loves him so much. She loves to watch everything he does. She is now starting to roll. Luckily she is taking it slow but soon she will be everywhere. She is already trying to scoot on her tummy. She loves to be held and she is a mommy's girl and cries when I walk away. She always holds my finger when she eats and doesnt take a bottle. I guess she missed me so much in the hospital, that when she got the real thing she decided she would never go back. I dont mind. We love her so much and we were so blessed when she was born into our home. I cant wait to see what she will do next but hope that it wont happen too soon.

A little History

Here we go again!!!
