Thank you

So for the past 6 or so months Isaac has been blessing our lives. His smiling face is there for anyone and he loves to be tickled. He is growing so big now weighing in at 18 lbs and 27 in, this makes him only 7 lbs less than Zoie. Pretty amazing!! Isaac is such a good baby in most every way except sleeping, that is just not one of his strong points and comming from having Zoie who is a great sleeper has been a challenge to say the least.

So, I was talking to my mom the other day and telling her about how I asked the eye dr why my eye was twitching so much and he said I either drank too much caffine (which I dont) or I didnt get enough sleep. My mom told me about how my brother watches "The Grim Adventures Of Billy and Mandy" and the mom on that show has a eye that twitches because she lives with the grim reaper and doesnt sleep. So this is me. Twitch Twitch. Anyway with all of this said I am so greatfull to have friends that are willing to go the extra mile for me, my sanity and my twitching eye. Thank you, thank you THANK YOU, sooooo much Mandy and Tyrell for taking Isaac for a night so I could get some sleep. You will never know what a great blessing you have given me cause believe it or not I am addicted to sleep. I know hard to believe huh.

Again a million times thank you, you are an answer to my late night prayers!

Zoie b-day

Zoie opening some of her birthday presents

A night of night mares

So the other night I was sleeping so peacefully when I was awoken by Isaac crying. I got up and gave him his pacifier and he went back to sleep. When I returned to bed Nathan rolled over looked at me and said "Somethings not right!" than rolled back over. I looked at him and said "What? Whats not right?" but he had already fallen asleep. Being the brave sole that I am I didn't wake him but I worried for quite some time what it was that was not right. When I finally fell asleep I spent the rest of the night dreaming of scary things that just were not right. I awoke and asked Nathan what he was talking about in the night but he didn't remember saying it. Needless to say he got it for scarring me so needlessly in the night. ;-)

A day in the snow

Zoie is growing up so big, here she was getting ready to go to work, she is all set up with her badge and pearls.

So the other day Mandy and I took Zoie and Ivan out to go sledding for the first time. It was really cold outside but we braved it anyway. I thought that all kids loved to sled and Ivan proved this right with his excited laughs as he went down the hill. Zoie on the other hand thought we were trying to kill her.

To get to our sledding hill we had to trudge through snow that was deep. Zoie thought it was impassable and told us with her wails.

But after it all she was ok because she found a dirty piece of snow ball in the parking lot that had fallen off someones car. Life is sweet

And who can deny that a day in the snow is fun. despite the minor setback of being rudely pushed down a hill in a sled, Zoie still finds wonders in the snow.

Zoie's first tae bo excersize Movie
