Catch up

I am a page away from finishing our California Trip. I'm so excited. I thought I would never finish and at times as I would scroll through the three hundred pictures my mind would quickly start to feel overwhelmed and I would keep telling myself. It's okay Sadie you can only do one page at a time-just focus on a moment at a time. Finally I was scrolling through and realized that I had done all the pictures. I did it. I feel pretty awesome. The last page is an easy four picture page for which I already have the layout envisioned in my head, so if tonight after I finish shredding and slicing zucchini for our food storage then, only then will I be able to finish the page. Boring talk that I've just given you. I'm happily nesting away here in my house with the bright beautiful sunshine on a perfect fall day. Isaak and I bottled some tomatoes earlier today. Our food storage is really benefiting from this nesting behavior of mine. Isaak helped me skin the tomatoes and no I didn't let him use a knife. He just slipped the skins off of the tomato. I called it getting the tomato naked and Isaak kept asking, "Mommy is this one naked yet?" as he would pull one from the tomato-y water. I got a lot dirtier than I would have had I done it myself, but I knew Isaak would love peeling off the skins, which he did. Which reminds me I should probably shower and change my clothes real quick-I'm dirty and stinky since I taught NIA this morning. Just a couple of pages that I'm pretty proud of.

You're such a good example! I want to be a great emergency-prepared wifey too. Glad you are getting caught up with your pictures! We miss you guys, but we are coming home to visit in December for a whole month! Yipee. See you soon!

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...
