Marley, Slides, & Soap

Before I attack the Christmas posts, I wanted to add some pictures from random days in December. Above: A tribute to how patient Meigou is with her little sister. We watched Marley & Me while in Utah and I missed my lab so much! No, I don't think you understand what I mean. I missed her so much I called my parents to ask to "talk" to her over the phone. My dad graciously gave me a play-by-play of everything Meigou had done since we left town. If you read the book (like I did last year) or watch the movie, just remember to insert Dan & Sarah for John & Jenny and you'll have the general jist of our married lives thus far.
Meigou the great entertainer. She likes to drop the ball from the balcony to the family room & have you throw it back for her to catch. This variation on the game was given a point system: if Meigou caught the ball, the children got a point. If she didn't catch the ball, I (who was doing the throwing) DID NOT get a point. lol. I sure do enjoy the thought processes of 4-year-olds. (:We've enjoyed taking Kaelah to the local malls to play so she can have somewhere warm, as pictured above. A few weeks ago our friend gave us an indoor slide for Kaelah to use until spring. She has pretty much stopped playing with all her other toys (except her new Christmas ones) she likes the slide so much. Thanks, Marci!Here's another picture to prove Kaelah is growing up way too fast! She likes to soap herself up in the tub with those awesome Serendipity Soaps! Of course, Kaelah also adores putting chap stick all over her face now too. She does aim for the lips, I promise. Good thing I'm not the lipstick wearing type b/c then it would actually show. (:

Happy 250th Birthday

Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Precious Pumpkin

Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Some Explaining

Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
