December 6

Sunday nights are always hard. I'm not sure why Sundays are harder than Mondays, but I guess trying to get ready for church, trying to make sure the kids behave at church, and the lack of our normal routine has something to do with it. And sunday night dinner is always a struggle. I should probably try to use the crockpot more or something, but most Sundays we have pancakes for dinner. Not super healthy, but I did start making them with cottage cheese to increase the protein content. And they are fast and everyone loves them. I don't know if anyone is still even reading our blog, but if you are and you have tips for how to survive Sundays, I would love to hear.

Judah got to start with morning with a quick game of scrabble with Gramma. We start 'em young around here.

 And Naomi especially loves pancakes, as you can see here.
 This is my two youngest trying to make themselves burp. Yes, even the baby likes to try.

So happy to see you blogging again - and yes, people are reading! Scott and I do take-and-bake pizza every Sunday night; this has been our tradition for about four years now. Thin crust, light cheese + healthy toppings make it seem like less of an indulgence, but it's still something fun to look forward to. Most of all, I like not having to think of what to eat... or do much prep work at all.

Giveaway

I've been watching in amazement for a few days as the links over here keep growing and growing with people who are hosting giveaways. The last time around I didn't participate, but now that things are slightly more settled in my somewhat crazy but wonderful job I thought I'd make an offering. The softies I make don't quite compare to amazing things you might see here or here , but I still think they are pretty cute. All those who leave comments will be entered to win the homemade softie of their choice, either an owl : (You can pick the colors you'd like, from a list of colors I have.) Or a penguin : Who will come with sunglasses, goggles, and a winter hat. (Because every good penguin should be prepared.) You can also pick (from a limited list) colors for the penguin's hat and glasses. I'll hold the drawing on Monday, since I'll be on call on Sunday, and the post the winner on Tuesday. Feel free to leave in your comment any favorite crafty blogs - ...

I am an awesome mom.

I won a new prize in the awesome mom category today. I have for some time been adding up points for all the ways that I am a good mom. Cut his tiny hand on his fourth day of life when I was cutting off the hospital band: check (He still has the scar!) Found rocks from our fireplace in his mouth: check Set down a knife on the table within his reach: check Turned around and found him holding said knife: double check Found leaves in his mouth: check, check and check Found him holding my razor, which I set down on the tub while he was in the bathroom: check Today, though, I set a new record. I locked Judah in the car. With all the windows up. See? Awesome mom, right here. It was a total fluke thing where I was tossing the keys onto the front seat as I was getting out and about to get Judah out. As I closed my door, the keys fell off the seat and into the shutting door, which closed on the lock button on our remote. And just like that, in a split second, Judah was locked in. ...

Final Picture Catch-up.

First, about 8 weeks ago, we saw this.... Then this: A little bit later there was this: And this: And Last week it was this: I'm now 13 weeks along, due in late March. We feel incredibly blessed, and of course, are very, very excited. (Working at a doctor's office and knowing how to do ultrasounds definitely comes in handy when you want to see your baby... And yes, I have been doing my own ultrasounds. It's a bit awkward, but I'm getting better.)
