Sigh...

Well we spoke in church today and boy are we relieved to be done!!! What a relief. Megan did well sitting on the stamd with us, until 1/2 through Pete's talk and then I had to take her and feed her. She is getting that second tooth I think and has been a little unpleasant!!!

Harry Potter Continued

I finisheed Harry potter this morning at 3 am. It was awesome!!! Meg and I are off to go shopping!!!

Harry Potter...

So guess who got their copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows in the mail a day early....I DID!!!! And despite the pleas of Nicholas I have started it. However Meggie is kind of cranky today sooooo I am not getting very far, very fast!!!! Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Oh well the sacrifices we make for our offspriing!

motherhood has ruined me....

Motherhood has been a wonderful experience, but it has also ruined me. Maybe not in the ways you are thinking. If your first thought was to my post partum, probably never be the same body, yes that's true, but that is not my main concern.

Motherhood has turned me into a watering pot. A cry baby. Flash flood warnings may happen at almost any moment. Last night Pete was gone (work) and Meg and I were watching TLC. And there was a story about a little boy from Africa that had a rare disorder that causes his skull to grow in a cone shape, and made him appear deformed. Well they took him to Dallas and did surgery and now he looks much better. I cried through the whole thing and then I cried for 30 minutes after it was over. Hello what has happened to me!!!

On a happier note, Megan and I went to the pool yesterday. She is such a water baby. She just loves it! Pete usually takes her a few times a week while I clean house, or run errands or something. It was so much fun we will probably go back today! She looks so funny, but cute in her swim suit!!!

I suck at this blogging thing

I just wrote a whole entry that somehow I erased! Yeah I am so cool!!!

Blogging, the new procrastination tool

(The following is the blog entry I thought I had lost, but my techno-savy friend Amy (Burt) Binns told me how to retrieve it. Wow! She is so smart even if she spells her name the wrong way.) So here it is in all it's glory!!!

Hmmm...This blogging thing is great...Pete and I are speaking in church this coming Sunday and so while the baby is down for 20 minutes or so I should be starting my talk...instead I am avoiding it and blogging instead. Yeah for my advanced skills of procrastination. Maybe I'll just wing it? How hard can it be to speak on Joseph B. Wirthlin's conference talk, "The Unspeakable Gift."....Wait if it's unspeakable how am I suppossed to speak on it.


Actually the sad events of the last month have given me a lot of food for thought on what a precious gift the companionship of the Holy Ghost really is, and how knowing that Heavenly Father has a plan is essential to true happiness in this mortal life. I guess I should just end this by saying, while I don't understand much of why things happen, I do know that Heavenly Father loves his children. And maybe that's enough.

Megan is on the Move

Megan is getting bigger and more mobile everyday. She is pushing up on her knees and trying very hard to get where she wants to go before we can stop her. She will figure out the crawling thing anyday... She is also very interested in REAL food, not just baby food, but whatever we are eating. And so yesterday we started the weaning process...yea! Independance Day for MOM!!!

And so we begin...

Last night we walked in the Relay for Life with some friends. We were helping to raise money for cancer research. It was fun, especially since our team started the evening off by grilling some hamburgers. Doesn't food make every event a little better.

We put Megan to bed a little later than usual, because of the festivities with the hope that she would sleep a little better. Alas, it didn't seem to make a difference...oh well.
