Where Have I Been?
Everywhere. Its been a whirlwind of a few weeks. Here is a short recap with some pictures.
We had Samuel’s birthday party when my parents came to visit. I can’t believe he’s already 1, well really 13 months. He’s walking and teething, and teething, and saying Mama and “Bear”. He’s a mess.
We have been to doctors appts. (well babies), the chiropractor, play dates, the zoo, you name it. I feel like we’ve been everywhere and then there are weeks that I don’t see outside my four walls. I have been working and my computer has been on the fritz. We are waiting on a new one to be delivered any day.
The other day, Ruthie started to revert in her potty training. Thus I have let her run around the house without clothes. One afternoon she decided she didn’t want to put her poopie in the potty while Mommy was on a 5 minute phone call. Samuel got into it, head to toe, smeared it into the carpet and the tile, got some in Sister’s hair. It was a mess. I couldn’t get a picture of them covered because I needed to contain them as fast as I could but I did get one of them after they were clean. In fact, Ruthie put her arm around Brother and TOLD me to take their picture.
While I thought it would be awhile before I had another poopie incident, it was shortlived. We had another one last night. Just not as severe.
On the same note, the other day she was pretending to cook something and was going to serve me. I asked her what she was making. “Stinky Heinie” was her reply as she handed me my plate. I couldn’t stop laughing.
Ruthie is starting to say her ABC’s and sing both that song as well as “This is the Day” and “Jesus Loves Me.” She counts up to 9 accurately most of the time now as well.
Yesterday we had an absolute ton of rain. Just under 10 inches of rain in less than 4 hours in our area of town. Joel was sent home from work for the day and it was debatable whether or not he’d be going in today or not. He did and everything around town seems to be making its way back to normal. There are a few roads still our of commission and they just found a body today of a man that had been swept away in his car. I’ve never been a part of such a flood before. I’m very thankful for the blue skies today and for no damage to our property. I’d post a picture but Joel put them on his computer and quite honestly, I want to go take a nap instead of do the transfers of getting them from his pc to mine. So you just have to use your imagination as to what 10 inches of rain will do.
