A Visit From My Old Roomie (and his ladies...)

It was great to see my old roomie and his beautiful family last weekend! They were in town for a wedding and were able to come play at the lake last Sunday. Jason and Courtney's little girl, Zoe, was born a couple months after Sean. We joke often- wondering which Doran beau she will choose to wed... If that does happen, the big question will be... hair or no hair?? Zoe was born with a beautiful full head of hair and my babies... well... none until about age two! It is fun seeing my two friends as parents. They are doing a wonderful job! One thing that they hadn't tried yet though, is any 'finger' food with sweet Zoe.
She loves her mommy and daddy but I think it is clear from this pic that she was starting to wonder if they'd been keeping something from her...
And that 'something' looked wonderful, so Zoe tried to get Sean's attention but us girls know it can sometimes be hard to get a boy's attention at first... You must stick with it though because all good things are worth the wait...
And that lesson Zoe did learn, because soon Sean decided to share. Zoe had her first graham cracker and did a great job! She didn't even gag once and I think that Sean may have scored some serious points with this little beauty! He can thank me one day for documenting it here since chances are she may not remember this first act of kindness from a Doran beau.
Always the little lady, Zoe didn't even make too much of a mess! After some chow we returned to the water where Zoe and Sean relaxed in the lake with their little boats which reminded me a bit of our last visit when they hung out in their bumbos next to each other.
Thanks for the great day Dr. Jason and Mrs. Courtney! Can't wait to do it again!

So tired...

It's getting to me... I don't know if it's the sleep deprivation or the crazy schedule of being a full time working mom and having four kids at home... but it's getting to me. I am so tired. Last night I was up at midnight with Sean, then at 2:30 with Joe who was sick and threw up, I got back to bed at 3 and slept for 15 minutes until Sean woke up again. I let him cry for 45 MINUTES until I could take it no more, staggered into his room and nursed him. And then I was up before six to start my day which looks something like this.. Wake up, shower, get ready for work prior to kids waking up... (praying that they don't wake up) then waking the bigs who can dress themselves, and getting Zach changed and dressed, then downstairs to make breakfast for three bigs while putting together pump parts to take to school (that were drying over-night), clean up from breakfast, meds for Zach which now include a breathing treatment (from last Tuesday's doc apt), shoes on a...

Saying Goodbye...

Well, we knew this day would come.  Prayed that it would be clear and it was. On Sunday night I laid with Cobi as I have (more so in recent weeks).  He asked to go outside at one point and he was out longer than usual.  I called for him to come inside and he didn't come. I had been cleaning the kitchen and I thought perhaps I had let him inside.  My brain isn't the best. I ran upstairs and to all his favorite places, but he was nowhere to be found.  I grabbed my shoes, wrapped my arms around me and went out to the cold calling for my baby, in a panic.  He came to me slowly from out in the darkness and when we got inside I sat with him, wrapped my arms around him and cried. As promised.  He had told me.  This was it. Somehow I went to school and made the call.  The last appointment of the day was at 5:20pm and since Joey wasn't getting home until 6:00, I took it as a consult and then also booked the first appointment for t...

It's the Honest Scrap!

Image
So some of you know that I have two blogs. This blog- which has reflected on my day to day adventures with my living children, things I love and the occasional "Pause" blog where I remember my angels. My other blog (That I refer to as my 'Pause' blog) has been an entire blog about my angels-a therapy to me in a sense- how they've changed me, restored me and helped me. I have met a huge community of mothers who have lost children and have been nominated by two of them for this Honest Scrap award (for my 'Pause' blog) The idea is similar to the last 'award' I wrote about, my new friends stated in their blogs that: The award is about bloggers who post from their heart, who write from the depths of their soul. In order to accept the award I must nominate seven fellow bloggers as recipients, and then list ten honest and interesting things about myself. So- although I was nominated on 'Pause'- I'm writing on 'Days' because I have sh...
