My Jessie!

I rocked as a mom last weekend! Discovery Gateway Friday night and Gardner Village Saturday afternoon with Grandma. Even though Jessie's shirt said "mostly sunny", it should have read "thunderstorms likely"!

AND THAT'S WHERE THIS PICTURE COMES IN!!!!

A Welcome Change

Jessie is my "princess"! She loves everything about them. You could say she is obsessed! Lately we've had modesty issues. It's amazing that a 3 year old can be so consumed about what is modest and what isn't. The other day while we were sitting outside she said, "mom, why do we have to be modest?" I went on to tell her that we need to cover our body and that it makes me and Heavenly Father happy. She nodded in agreement and then went on to say. "Mom, I'm going to be modest, I'm going to make Santa happy!" Boy, whoever it takes I'll tell ya!

This past week a welcome change has come into our home. Pollyana! Do you remember this fun show? I loved it growing up. Nana checked it out at the library for her a week ago and she is loving it. Finally, something for her to watch that I don't need to worry about what half naked fashion statement she is going to make out of it. Here she is in what she calls her "Pollyana" outfit ( I think mostly because of the yellow ribbon) watching the movie and helping me make a yummy treat!

My life right now in a nutshell!

What?: been without dairy (milk, eggs, soy, butter) for 5 days now. Dying for a bowl of cereal and ice cream. Oh, and apple crisp topping. Oh, and chocolate..the list goes on!

Why?: Reese has blood in her poop.

Why?: Has breast milk colitis!

What?: A reaction to the protein found in cows milk.

What to do?: Have to give up dairy or switch to a special formula $$$$$$

What else?: Getting a giant cyst taken out in a couple of weeks.

Why?: Because it's huge and it's a cyst!

Scared?: Heavens yes! Never been put out before.

More?: Arthritis is kicking my can.

Still have a DARLING family?: Absolutely YES!

Jessie and I are counting down!
