not going to blog for a bit

I just wanted to let my "followers" know that I am taking a bit of a break from blogging for a bit. I have some personal things that I'm dealing with and will get back to it when I can.

Thank for understanding.

Having more fun with Leah

Today was a crazy day around here and it didn't stop until bed time. Leah, Zach and I went to the mall today to look for new glasses for myself. Leah was such a good girl that we went to Buck or Two (I think that is what it is called) and she was able to get a balloon. Who knew that $0.75 would be such a hit (and keep her being good ~ if she was not good, the balloon went into the sky!). We got home and Leah was exhausted, but didn't want to sleep, or even have "quiet time". She just wanted to go to Costco. When Neb came home, we did go to Costco and while there, we received a phone call from some friends seeing if they could come over tonight. Sure, not a problem. However, we wouldn't have time to cook dinner before they came, so fast food it was.

Leah was wound up tighter than a top after dinner and she wanted me to take some pictures of her in her new p.j.'s. However, she also wanted to do "silly poses", and these are the results. My silly bean, and I love her.

Bedtime was fairly simply, she's been in bed for 2.5 hours and there has been no noise from her room!

Life IS good.

Around the House

Today was a bit chilly, so I turned on the fire and just had to take a picture of it. I wish it was a wood burning fire as those are wonderful, but the control of a gas fireplace is wonderful.

The next picture is of the fabric that is on our bench in the playroom, it is really nice and I'm hoping that it will find a permanent home somewhere in the house soon.

I am going to try to start playing the piano more often, I think the kids would enjoy it. I started playing the piano when I was around 8 years old I think, but never really took it as seriously as I should have. I would love to be able to "tickle the ivory's" like some of my friends can.

Our trip to Tillsonburg

Today we went to Tillsonburg to see Grandma and Grandpa. Leah was being silly and wanted her picture taken with mommy. Grandma was taking the pictures and asked us to do a "crazy" face, and this was the end product.

Off to "Girls Night Out" tonight, so I'm sure there could be some "interesting" pictures tomorrow.

So today when Leah was at daycare and Zachary was sleeping I started playing around with the camera. I wanted to take a picture of something with bright colours and the only thing that I really could find was one of Zach's toys. This particular toy he really likes right now because he can bite down on it hard. The poor little guy's teeth are really bothering him, I can't wait until tooth #2 decides to surface.

By baby boy

Tonight I came downstairs after heating up some baby food for Zachary and I found my two boys chillin' on the floor. I thought that it was adorable that Zach was still without the lower half of his pajamas on so I quickly snapped a shot.

Zach hasn't been feeling the greatest for almost 3 weeks now and I is getting very tiring. He is not eating much food and is not taking nearly enough formula as he should be. I know that it is also teething causing this, but there is more to it. He has been to emergency a few weeks ago because he was getting dehydrated and they told me at the time that he had a "rotovirus" and gave me things to do to get him re-hydrated. It did help for awhile and he is no longer throwing up, but hopefully tomorrow's doctor visit will give us some more answers on how to get him taking more food. A plus, I did make squash for him a couple days ago (and froze it in ice cube trays) and he seems to like it a lot. Tomorrow I'm going to cook up the sweet potato and puree it along with some peaches and mangos.
