Woohoo!!!
I did it! I got that dang blinkie off. How you may ask? For a split second it blinks to allow me to add a new photo. I have tried and tried to get in there for that quick blink. Well the system must be slow tonight or something because I got in there real quick and hit the browse button, picked a new photo, then when that photo came up I hit remove image and then save. Woohoo!!! Now I can make a real image to put up there. Yeah me. LOL
All's quiet
I love these moments just as much as I love hearing the laughter and jabbering.
Keira is asleep in front of me. Sevi is asleep in her bed. Juls went with Daddy to the office to get some work done. So what did I do with myself? I took a nice long hot shower. So nice to not worry what the children are doing while I am showering or to wonder if Keira has woken up. I had her in the bathroom with me so I could see her. She slept right through it.
Now I get a minute to check up on the computer before I have to start packing. We are taking our first official family vacation as a family of 5 (6 if you count my nephew we are taking to help out). I am very excited. My husband is very hesitant. Juls is beside herself with anticipation of what a vacation really is. And Sevi is excited because Julia seems to be excited about something. What she has no idea, but if Julia is excited, it must be good.
Keira is sleeping through the night now. No pacifier and no nursing. It just happened. We did nothing. She has actually been a much better sleeper since her stint in the hospital. I guess having nurses and doctors coming in and poking and prodding you for 5 days straight gets you use to sleeping through anything. She did become addicted to the pacifier while we were there. It was one of the only things other then nursing (when we got to do that again) that would settle her. This is a first for us. Neither of the other girls were paci girls or thumb suckers. But Keira has given it up during the night, so maybe she will turn out to be like her sisters after all. And I want to mention (brag time) that she is rolling over from tummy to back. Woohoo!!! I think a lot of that has to do with her big noggin and just leaning it one way or the other, but it works for her and I am proud of her.
Ah speaking of her sisters. I will have to introduce you to them. Probably a little slowly. Too much of them at one time might overwhelm you. Julia is very gifted in the way of speech. And Sevi is gifted in her motor skills. It is amazing how two sisters can be so completely different. Most days I love it. Other days it keeps me on my toes. I can't wait to see how Keira is. How she will be even more different then them. When she finds her own little personality.
A new cyber friend of mine lost her daughter (I will post more on this later as I have a lot to say) recently and it has made me appreciate my girls so much more. To laugh at their quirks instead of getting frustrated (although Sevi had me almost to my breaking point this week, pictures to follow). To slow down and listen to them more instead of rushing them so we can get whatever it is we are doing done. It is sad that it has taken the death of such a spirited little girl for me to see this, but I am glad something good is coming of her death. I just hope as the time passes I don't forget again and get caught up in life and start rushing again. Hannah, thank you for reminding me how important experiencing life is and to slow down and enjoy every Lily, Frog, or Star that we see.
A few days have passed and I can laugh at this. I admit at the time I had finally hit a boiling point. This is just one of the hundreds of things Sevi has done. So I guess you could call it the straw that broke this camels back. I was in tears and so tired. Sevi is a good kid. She is not mean or malicious in anyway. She is very loving and one of the cutest little babes I know. She is just very energetic, persistent, and spirited. Did I mention curious? Very very curious...

She just want to know how things work. What is inside of the bottles, jars, containers. And then she wants to see what they smell like, taste like, what she can do with whatever it is she finds.
Told ya she was cute. How can you get mad at that face? Well, after seeing this for the hundredth time, you can get tired of it and frustrated. And then having to constantly clean up after her is also very tiring.
You will be hearing many more of these stories about Sevina along with photos, I'm sure. And then I will have plenty of "You will not believe what Julia said" stories coming. And hopefully lots of brags on Keira as she grows and reach milestones.
I want to blog, really I do.
But I am not to thrilled with the fact that I can't simply remove a photo from my header. I have been trying for days now. I even did the whole clearing of the cookies and cache, etc. (Which I hate doing) and I still can't get rid of that dang blinkie. I have posted in the help group and got one response. Rat was nice and tried to help, but it wasn't a fix. Great little video though.
Such a simple thing but it makes my site look like crap. I want to come and write but instead I see that dang thing and get side tracked trying to get rid of it.
I am open for any thoughts and suggestions. I did post about it in the Help Group under "broken" or some forum like that.
Hmph.

Oh The Guilt
I have been guilted into making a Blog. I guess it was time since I do about everything else on the internet. So here is my first blog/post whatever you call it. I will have to catch up on blogging lingo. I will warn you right now, I can't write. I suck with words. That is one reason why I have taken this long to do this. What I am thinking and trying to say never comes out on the computer the same way. But maybe this will be good for me. Help me to learn how to write. At least it gives me a place to record everything.
