I could barely care for myself, not to mention a newborn or anyone else in the house. Ian was in constant contact with our doula and friend. Despite their best efforts and friends support, I continued to slip further into a depression. This depression was SO different from my last. It came on fast and in a more physical way. It got so bad, that Ian said that if it did not change, he would have no choice but to hospitalize me. I wanted to get better. I just couldn't. Reluctantly, I went to Thanksgiving dinner. It was very humbling and difficult.
I don't know when it happened, but I was healed that night. The Lord lifted the fog! Thank you Lord, Ian, and friends for helping me get through it.Tamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17319690040210479867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290122493632186347.post-20460900560662235582012-11-12T21:59:00.003-08:002012-11-12T22:08:21.396-08:00Happy 1st Birthday Abigail Lael<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I thought the timing was odd, but nursed her anyway. As I got back in bed the heat was on, but smelled funny. I layed there a minute betting that it was nothing. Thinking that might not be best response, I went downstairs to make sure all was ok. Nothing seemed wrong! By the time I came back up, the front room was filled with a haze!!
Scenarios ran through my mind as I went to wake Ian. We turned off the heat, and opened the windows. We found no cause, but would seek it out in the morning. Turns out that a baby ball toy, rolled down the duct work and started melting on the heat element of the furnace. If Abigail did not wake me up, we all would have woken up to the fire alarm, whisked the kids out and called the fire department.

Wrist bands for the rides have been a great idea as the kids get older. They get a little bolder each year. This year they rode a roller coaster, spun around and around, and Isobel even went solo on one that took her up high and did a control drop. It was a long wait for this ride though. We had to wait as they repaired it. Then one of the men used his hands to cross his chest in a cross pattern. Not <i>exactly</i> what we wanted to see right before she got on.</div>

Abigail found a blue pen that accidentally fell into her toy basket. She is now 8 months old. I don't think that there is a food she does not like. Although not crawling yet (still hates being flat), she is scooting, pivoting, and beginning to coordinate her arms and legs to crawling positions or pulling herself up a little.<br />

Everett became a Busker at our Farmers Market. He has become quite the magician. He had no problem in drawing a crowd and had plenty of tricks to fill his 30 min at each station. We are very proud of his confidence and growth in independence to try entertaining in public.<br />

The kids race in heats against kids in similar age groups. Everett is competing against 9 and 10 year olds. Isobel races against 5 or 6 year olds. Her running style has only sightly improved! She continues to take up the whole lane with elbows swinging and feet sprawling. She becomes more composed the faster she gets down the track. They love it. They each do 50m hurtles, 100m dash, 200m, 400m, 800m, long jump and mini javelin. <br />

Everett is in the far lane in a black shirt. Here he is back in <a href="http://simplymadeathome.blogspot.com/2008/07/blog-post.html">2008</a>.

I've been so focused on getting Abigail sleeping though the night (another sinus infection for both girls, and a cold and laryngitis for me did not help), staying current with school so as to finish on time, and helping Everett in his activities (baseball and Scouts) that there has been very little time for anything blogging to record any of it. If I did have a minute I tried to be with my hubby who has been working 8-10 hour days 5-6 days a week.Tamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17319690040210479867noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290122493632186347.post-68330950175700967692012-05-05T22:05:00.000-07:002012-05-05T22:05:39.980-07:00Everett Pitched His First Game<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Grandma asked Isobel "what did you learn in school today". "Stuff" she said so passively. Ugh. We started learning about the Netherlands in our geography unit so I planned all weekend for it. That included a special chocolate toast breakfast, windmill and pinwheel art projects, map work, Gouda cheese sampling, and an Anne Frank video. Plus her math with coloring, new language book she was looking forward to, and language arts activities that she thinks are so funny. But it was all just "stuff". ;-)Tamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17319690040210479867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290122493632186347.post-70937057298225628732012-04-20T21:36:00.000-07:002012-04-20T21:36:58.569-07:00<div>
