Les Miserables

I finally did it. I read the entire book and I'm in love with Victor Hugo. Well not literally. I don't even know what he looks like, but the book is brilliant. I don't know why I was never able to finish it before because I could barely put it down the last month. It's a long book and it felt good to actually read a book for so long. My favorite parts about the book was getting to know the characters--the good and the bad. You were more exposed to them and sometimes they drove me nuts with being so silly!! And other times I adored them. How Victor sets up a scene is pretty impressive how clearly he can see it in his mind. So that's that.

I also recently started reading a book called The Anatomy of Peace. It's about being at peace in your heart all the time. I love it. I'm close to being finished already and hope it helps change my life. That's what I'm hoping for anyway.

I'm also pretty pregnant. I'm really starting to feel it now. I have to sit up straight to keep my breathing normal and I'm starting to not like bending over so much. And suddenly I'm hot a lot of the time. I don't know when my internal hotness got turned on, but the switch has flipped! Thank goodness fall is just around the corner though I love and hate fall. I love the leaves, but I hate that it means that summer is ending and that winter is surely coming!

I haven't been blogging a lot because i've been nesting already. I might be going a little crazy with wanting to organize everything and be all on top of things. I wonder if I'll ever get on top or if I'll constantly be scrambling. So I've been trying to scrapbook all of our cali trip and get caught up with Isaak's stuff, so I can start on all the girl stuff that is going to be coming at me soon. Wow. Two kids. I might freak out some days. I see how we have adjusted to having Isaak and how we seem to have a system and it's all about to change. Yikes. How will it work I ask myself and then I remember--oh yeah--one day at a time!!!! Just a few of the pages that I've been working on. Isaak had a cupcake for lunch, which he thought was pretty awesome. Vacation and cupcakes. I loved it too!

I love those scrap book pages that you do. How do you do them? What program do you use?
I think you'll do great with two kids. For some reason I'm thinking that adding another is not as life changing as the first one is. Hopefully. :)

Sadie, I was just catching up on your blog...congrats on the baby girl! I'm so excited for you! And I'm sure you will do a fantastic job handling 2 kids - just think of how many teenage hooligans you used to control at one time! :) Still...I wish you the best of luck! P.S. - are you using Hypnobabies again?

From me to him

Dear Isaak, Happy Birthday my little guy! It feels like just yesterday that you were literally pulled out to come into this world. Yes literally with forceps around your little head because you accidentally faced the wrong direction or maybe you faced the direction you wanted to. You didn’t seem like you were quite ready to come out because you were just wailing--almost like you were saying, “You know--I was perfectly comfortable in there.” I’ve learned this year that you surely know what you want and you will not stop until you get it. For example when we tried to spend the weekend away from home and you didn't like sleeping in your playpen! You woke up every 1/2 hour to let us know you weren't comfortable. You finally fell asleep around 3am when we put you on the bouncer. Cory slept with his arm around you on the floor so you didn't roll off. You weren’t going to come easy, eh?? I remember pushing and pushing and pushing and thinking this isn’t going how I thought that i...

For the LOVE!!

What a day we had. What a day we had. I get tired again just thinking about it. Cory's car is getting the muffler put back on. I'm a little sad about it because Isaak and I could hear his car coming from over a block away when he was on his way home, but it's also a little embarrassing how loud it is. I'm sure it defied all noise ordinances. In any case, Isaak and I have been getting up a little early to take Cory to work, which is kind of fun because we get to see him more, but before dinner it's not kind of fun. It's kind of stinky because it's a hustle to get everything all put together. Yesterday I had to make dinner at about 3pm so I could get everything in. So back to yesterday. Isaak and I had just rolled our bushy little tails out of bed and both of us were still in pajamas. I was wearing my chacos and one of Cory's jackets and Isaak wanted to bring all of his blankets. Thankfully for some weird reason I threw his tennis shoes into the diaper bag...

Mommified

It's official I've been Mommified. I've seen it happening to others for years and now I've become part of the madness. Don't worry I'm not talking about being Mummified for all my entrails are safely where they should be, but I'm talking more about slime and snot. Yes slime. I was getting ready for bed and I looked down at my Pajama shirt and realized that I had been gooed. I had junk all over the bottom half of my shirt. I had no idea what it was and the most alarming part of this.....I simply shrugged my shoulders and thought well it's dry at least it won't get on my sheets. I slept in a slimy shirt. Example number two--Isaak had a runny nose last week. I had to run into Nordstroms for a second and didn't want to carry Isaak and the diaper bag, so I just took Isaak. As we were strolling into the store I noticed that he had some runny nose goodness. I quickly wiped his snot with my shirt sleeve on the inside. EWWWWW!! I just did what??? Gross Of...
