I found it!

This week I have been in a panic because I had lost three important things. I lost a prescription, a check, and my Marmot jacket. I have been trying to be more organized so this has been a blow to my organized self esteem. I looked high and low for the three items. I was afraid to tell Willy that I lost three such important things. I prayed that God would help me remember what I did with everything. Hopefully, I would find them and he would never have to know. After much stress and looking, I found everything. Do you want to know where everything was? The jacket was in my closet, the check was in my wallet, and the prescription was in my car. Everything was right where it should be. It seems I AM organized! I am so used to being unorganized that I figured my things wouldn't be in the most obvious place! I feel pretty good!

It has been a crazy few weeks. I found out that I was pregnant Sept 14th. After the shock set in, my life went into a spin of organizing, cleaning, and planning. On Oct 6th I found out that I miscarried. I then went into a spin of unplanning the next 9 months. In my heart, something just wasn't right about the pregnancy. I really think God was preparing my heart and just holding me close. I didn't cry when the sono tech told me at the doctor's office the bad news. I didn't really cry for few days. It has been a very tough four months and I was afraid that if I cried, I wouldn't stop. Everything did catch up with me though. I think it was a combo of hormones and stress. I had a good cry with Will and then I was on the road to normal. I really do feel back to normal now. I thank my friends and family that have prayed for me, called, and sent emails. It really did make a huge difference! I feel like God carried me right through this using all of you! As much as I love my children and the one that miscarried, how much more God loves me..His child! Wow! What a great thought. As a Christian, I do believe life begins at conception and that I will see this child in Heaven...another great thought that really helps me.

David and Victoria are as funny as always. David likes to go outside all the time. he brings me his shoes and my shoes and then stands at the door. He loves to run around the yard, swing, and play in the sand. Victoria still wears her Ariel costume everyday. She is learning a few songs and likes to sing them to me. She can sing the chorus to "Big House" by Audio Adrenaline and "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes" from Cinderella. She gets a few words wrong but that makes it really cute. She asked me a few fun questions this week. "Does chocolate milk make poo poo?" and "Does water make tee tee?" I thought those were good life observations and also kind of funny.

I am in the middle of organizing my scrap supplies. It was the last clutter from the office move three months ago. It is so much that I kept avoiding it. I just don't know where to put all this paper, ribbon, stickers, etc. I see a huge ebay sale in my future.

Hide And Seek

Victoria is doing great. She was finally line leader Wednesday and she was really proud of it. Last Friday was her birthday and Nanny and I went to her class and brought cookies. She got to pick a prize out of the teacher's "birthday bag" and got the "good apple" award that day. We went to the shoe store and to the bakery for a snack. She got an Ariel costume from her cousins and has worn it every day since. She also got a Dora sleeping bag that she now sleeps in on the floor of her room! She actually sleeps better on the floor that in her bed. She must have the camping trait from her daddy in her.

Her favorite new game is hide and seek. She loves it. I was working at my desk and she hid by my feet. She was there a while when she asked where daddy was. I realized then that she wanted to play hide and seek. Will was upstairs working around the house and I ran up to tell him that Victoria has been hiding for the last five minutes waiting for him to come and find her. He was just as surprised as I was. He ran down to find her and she was thrilled. Will and I played with her for about 8 rounds before bed. It was funny because she always gives up her hiding place by giggling. Will hid in the shower and poor Victoria had no idea where he was. She could hear him laughing but couldn't figure out where he was. It was so obvious and so funny.

David is learning how to point to his nose, eyes, ears when asked. Today he actually pointed to his nose when I asked! Usually I say, "David, where is your nose?" and he points to the ceiling fan. Either he has a great sense of humor already or he has not idea what I am talking about. He is still the happiest baby I have ever seen.
