Our family has been completely disrupted by a jelly bean sized being. I can no longer cook, open the fridge, change diapers, and be reasonable. Yes, I am enjoying my most favorite part of pregnancy- "day" sickness. I would love to call it morning sickness but the only time I get total relief is at night when I am asleep. I have tried sleeping during the day but that didn't make me feel any better and Lily went wild with a crayon on the walls, tv, windows, table, etc. Luckily my mother-in-law came out for 10 days and ran my house. She was an angel to my family and my husband told me he would give me another week before he expected me to run our home like her. Keep dreaming honey. We are looking forward to April with fear and excitement. Now my goal after this icky stuff is over is to get Lily out of diapers. I have been changing diapers without relief since Jacob was born 8 years ago. I have always done double duty with a toddler and a newborn. So I am really loo...

So happy that fall is finally here. We just spent the last week sweating and avoiding the outdoors as it was very hot here. Suddenly the heat is gone and we are in the 70s and freezing. I am loving it.I realized that my children are now completely warped Cali kids. Jacob had an assignment that asked what would you wear in 85 degree weather. His answer: A sweater. Life has been pretty crazy around here lately. Dragging the boys to soccer at least two times every week, Dave working ridiculous hours, school in full swing and 8 puppies running around. Our dog had puppies last month and they are now equipped with claws, teeth, and can run. Hopefully they will be finding homes soon. Also if we find homes for them soon we can tell everyone that they are poodles instead of german shepherds.
