Unhappy Half B-day but Happy Fair

Meigo hasn't been getting a whole lot of attention since our newest addition came alone. She's actually being treated more like a dog. lol. She's an angel of a dog & I thought it would be nice if Meigo could have some special attention on September 22nd b/c it was her half b-day. Here's the new rope toy she got as a present. Then Grandma was nice enough to take her out to run in the cold. Meigo mysteriously got hurt when she went to the dog park. The same thing had happened to her 2.5 years ago, so I didn't even try to figure it out this time. Our best guess is she ran into the fencing to hard while chasing the ball. We'll never really know, though.
Meigo had to have 4 stitches. Here she is right after coming home. (The t-shirt keeps her from having to wear a cone.) Unhappy half-birthday! I'm just glad my mom noticed she was hurt b/c Meigo was having too much fun to say anything. That's a lab for you, I guess!On the 26th we made our annual journey to the Harvest Fair. Kaelah has become such a daddy's girl since her little brother joined the family. I feel so grateful he hasn't been having to work OT this month. We love Daddy!
Once again the Michaelmas play & the tractor ride were the biggest hits. Kaelah is really into tractors or any sort of big thing that moves right now. Actually, she said our morning prayer today & asked to protect Daddy & see a school bus. That's what's important to her! Don't worry, Danny & Meigo & I got prayed over at lunch time (along with the Legos & coloring), so our feelings weren't hurt. (;Since we forgot to bring cash to the fair we treated ourselves to smoothies & Wahoo's. If I ever feel like Kaelah hasn't been eating enough, all we have to do is go there & she'll pig out! I think part of it is the outdoor patio with big yellow umbrellas to eat under. I don't think we'll be eating under those anytime soon with all this snow. Brrrr.

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...
