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?

July 29 Ward Lake & the Library Ketchikan

It's raining it's pouring the old man is snoring. He's really snoring. It's been down pouring since we got here last night and it poured all day long. We got up and headed out to Ward Lake to a BBQ with their church.  It's beautiful. The kids thought it was the best ever because they had donuts, chips, hot dogs, watermelon, cherries and cookies. Isaak of course immediately started playing with some kids his age. Chloe and Lydia frolicked around in the woods and played horseshoes. It stopped raining for maybe 10 minutes, but other than that it picked right back up. I was sure they were going to cancel the BBQ, but again the kids seemed indifferent to all the rain. Some of them were even kayaking. I was too busy freezing! The hike around the lake is 1.5 miles and we saw a beaver den sans beaver. We walked around the Lake and it was like being submerged in the rain forest. Well it's not like being submerged in a rain forest. We were in a rain forest called the Tong...

The Farthest North Point & Settlers Cove

The rain continues to come down. I've never seen it rain like this before. Teana and Derek told us that the rain is more consistent with weather in October than in the summer, but weather.com promises that a warm front is in store for tomorrow. We went to church in an amazing building. The ward house was completely built in Cedar. Apparently the church shipped a cedar kit and the members of the church in the area worked with general contractors to put it together. It's beautiful and it smells so good!!! Chloe didn't want to go to primary by herself. At first I was trying tough love, but she started weeping. Okay. So she was actually trully scared. I sat with her in primary and then someone in the sharing time chose to sing Gethsemane. Chloe immediately relaxed. I was again aware of how much Heavenly Father cares for his children. Gethsemane is Chloe's favorite song and she always sings it when she's sad or asks us to sing it for her. She then said it was okay if I...

July 28 Ketchikan Alaska

So I may be grateful that we camped out, but it literally rained all night long. And the sad news was that the sun wasn't coming out so we had to keep shaking out the rain fly repeatedly hoping for it to dry out. The good news is that it wasn't raining. The silver lining is that Isaak had so much fun playing with some kids from Smithers. They tromped around again all morning long. Isaak is brave. He saw kids running around and immediately went over to get involved in the game with no hesitation. They welcomed him instantly. I think it may have been Isaak's favorite campground because of how much fun he had. It made packing up wet stuff much easier. The rain fly was almost dry when we had to roll up the tent and get headed to Prince Rupert to check in for our ferry. We hoped to leave around 930-10am, but we didn't We wanted to go check out a preserve, but we plainly ran out of time. Prince Rupert is a cute little beachy port town. We did drive through downtown and had lu...
