Dentist

Have I ever told you how much I love our dentist?? She is AMAZING! Savannah had a hard time with the dentist, when we lived in Florida and it left her pretty traumatized. I was so happy when we found Dr. Doan ! She is so patient and friendly with the kids. The kids love her, and her staff! I didn't get a picture of her this time, but we love her!! By the way the kiddos are cavity free!!

Easter in the 80's

The kiddos and I were in the car driving home from the store today, and I couldn't help turning up the radio and singing along to a fun 80's song.....or two. Then this next conversation started:
Savannah: What is this song?
Me: It 's a fun song from the 1980's, from when I was a kid
Savannah: 1980's....that was a loooong time ago
Me: yep
Savannah: you were a kid in the 80's?
Me: yeah baby
Savannah: Did they have Easter back then? I don't think the Easter bunny is that old!

Big Boy Bed

So we took the side off of Porter's crib to see how he would do in a regular bed, which I will be ordering this weekend. He did so well, he was so excited to be in a "big boy" bed. He slept ALL night!!! This was exactly what he (and mommy) needed! I'm so proud of him, and excited that both kiddos will be in a regular twin bed soon.

my piece of heaven

I was holding Porter in our rocking chair....he fell asleep...and as I looked at his sweet sleepy face...it was definitely my piece of heaven. Little P.J. thanks for letting me hold you.

Countdown

I've been trying really hard not to countdown the days or even weeks, but I found myself doing that very thing today. We officially have about 7 more Sundays, after today that is! I can't say that this time has been the easiest....its actually been one of the hardest, but I love that fact that I am with my kiddos. I feel for Rob, atleast when I miss him I have two little ones that make me smile. I am so grateful for them, the way they smell, the way they laugh, the new things they are learning...it makes me smile! However in my quest to unwind from my sometimes hectic days I have discovered two items that have helped. The first is an anti-stress aromatherapy lotion from Bath and Body works, and the second is Dr. Teals epsom bath salts. A lot of the time if your having trouble with stress or anxiety your body will crave b vitamins and magnesium. There's lots of magnesium uin these bath salts...and as you soak it should absorb and the salts are filled with oils to make your skin super soft. I've tried it the past two nights, and its soooooo relaxing! Anyway I know many of my friend are or will be in the single momma boat with me soon, so I thought I'd share what I've found to help.

Home Sweet Home

Oh blog...How I've neglected you! Well we are back home. I love my family so much, but we were homesick, and daddysick so we drove back,and I enrolled Savannah back into her old class. We are all content. Before we left for Missouri our ward was dissolved and combined with another one. There are lots of new young couples, and lots of wives in the same boat as me. Its a nice feeling to live in a community that knows exactly what your going through. I went to a new (new to me) playroup today, and had so much fun chatting with some neat girls,and watching the kiddos play. I might add it has been in the upper 50's this week! I'm breaking out the sandals! I got a sitter for tonight and I'm going to go get new hairdo...not sure what yet, but just a little change. I'll post pictures later(with my new camera, which I LOVE).
