Just A Random Post

It has been a busy week. I worked Sunday and Monday and then we spent the rest of the week in Beaver Creek with Jesse's family. The weather warmed up and the girls got to spend lots of time playing with "cousins." Actually, the cousins are Jesse's cousins and that would make them second cousins to the girls, right?







There are several Grace and Hadassah's age and they enjoyed their time, although, after a couple of late nights, they needed to head home.
As we drove yesterday the temp read 91 degrees. I don't know what it was here for a high.

We had a little mishap at the end of last week. While I was at work, Jesse was trying to catch up on some laundry and apparently the girls thought it would be a good time for a trim.


Grace gave Hadassah and herself bangs and also took a huge chunk out of the back of Hadassah hair. (Thankfully she only got into the craft box with the kiddie scissors.) Aughhh.... Given her lack of experience, Grace did not cut

anyone's hair straight. I was going to try to fix their hair myself, but Nana offered to take them for haircuts and they both did very well. I was thankful as I have been trimming their hair at home and did not know how Dassah would do. So, the pic on the couch is of them after a professional tried to fix their hair. Hadassah earned herself a bunch of layers. And being a Momma who does not like bangs much I am adjusting to the new hairdo's. The other pic is of the girls in their new summer sandals and of course they are very pleased to not have to wear tights with their dresses anymore. I am having quite the time with uploading today as the pics keep disappearing while I type. I am working tonight and tomorrow. We had hoped to do some garden prep tomorrow, but rain is in the forecast for the weekend. We were able to get some raspberry bushes this week and I excited about adding that to our garden. Yummy! I am going to try the pics once more and then that is all the patience I have for it today. Oh, I ordered some new glasses off the internet and they arrived today. I needed new ones, but did not have money saved up for them. I bought this pair for $8. Can you believe it? ZenniOptical. I will have to tak a pic of myself. They are the bigger frames that are out now and I have not had them before, but they are not all bent up and I can see. What a deal! I am quite pleased. Here, I will try to take a pic of me quick. Please forgive the fact that I have not showered yet today and look a bit on the grubby side.

Cousins

The cousins together in one spot for a brief moment. Not much for smiles from my girls, but a fun day was had by all. I forgot to take a pic of my two girls in their dresses together, but there will be another day. Time for naps, now. And today I need one, too, although the weather is so lovely I don't like thinking about missing out on the sunshine. Okay, maybe a quick one.

Give Thanks

I am full of thanks right now. My Savior loves me and has a plan for my life. And though most days I don't understand this adventure I can trust in my Savior who loves me. Thank you, Jesus.

I work this afternoon and don't have time to download pics. That will have to come tomorrow.

I have a break from severe back and nerve pain and am so thankful. Monday after work I could barely walk and kept waking Jesse during the night as I would cry out when I moved. Not good. I found relief after a massage the next day and I have been trying not to over do things and lift too much and have been diligent in my stretches. This never happened in my other pregnancies, but ouch!

I am soaking up so much from the Bible study I have been attending on Wednesday mornings(well I have been learning all week long in the Word, but Wed is when we meet). Thank you, again, Jesse, for encouraging me to go.

Spring is here. It is in the air. I can feel warmth on my face when I step out the door. And we have been soaking up the Vitamin D. Thankful for spring.

My nephews, Lawson and Landon turn 2 today!

I have a huge to do list of things I want to get done before the baby comes. We got to check a couple of them off the list this week. Yeah!

We moved Grace into a full bed and Hadassah into the toddler bed. Hooray!!!!! So far, so good. Oh, and I am almost embarressed to post this, but with the bed move we took away Hadassah's nuk for sleepy time. I was such a wimp this time around letting her keep it. But since she moved into her new bed she has only asked for it once. However, now she does like to ask to go potty, like her big sister does, right after they get tucked in at night. She is still doing well during the day using the potty and I am so thankful for that.

This little one in my womb is so busy!! Kicking and moving. Kicking and moving. I can't believe it some days. Reminds me of Grace. She was a mover and Dassah barely moved. It is fun to feel the action and Jesse can see and feel the kicks now, too, so that makes it even sweeter.

I am getting ready for our gardening. We have our seeds and a plan, but need a little more time to get the soil ready. We are trying watermelon this year and acorn squash, since we eat so much of it. The girls are getting excited.

I promised the girls a quick walk before I leave for work this evening. So, off I go.

e-mail

My e-mail has not worked since Friday, so call if you need to reach me. I have hotmail and I don't know how long it will be before it works again.

Easter Sunday

HE IS ALIVE!

Short and Sweet

No pictures today. I have been busily trying to finish Hadassah's one year photo album. I have been diligent as I have the pics out and know that if I don't do it before the next little Taubert arrives I will probably be a grandmother before it gets done. I did my wedding and then with Grace I did okay for awhile, but alas I am not a scrapbooker at heart. I am at 9 months now and so that is really quite a feat for me. After this I will organize the rest of the pics of the girls that are not in an album and seriously consider online albums. Anyway, Jesse has a work meeting tonight that I am invited to go with, so I need to pack a bag and get Dassah and Grace over to Jesse's parents before it starts. Uhohhh... I hear Dassah crying. She was sleeping.
