. . . a glimpse into my heart.

We became MiniVan owners yesterday!! Woohoo! It's a Chrystler Town and Country, 2005 with 41,000 miles. It has automatic doors which is AWESOME!! With a push of a button I can open the back or the two side doors. It's fabulous!! Now I feel like an official mom. My boys can play soccar now, teehee! Dave's Dad and Step Mom just left this morning. They were here visiting for a few days from Seattle. It was nice having them here. Nancy taught Liam some new songs and helped him finish learning the alphabet. We have made any progress on landscaping cause life has been crazy. Hopefully we can get a fence in soon then a patio and some grass. I can't wait till next summer when it's all done! Gabriel is almost 10 weeks old already. He's so amazing!! He is sleeping anywhere from 9 to 13 hours straight at night. He already rolled over from tummy to back twice already, he can lift his whole chest up when on his tummy, he has such a strong neck! I think he's going to be a...

I am going in for an MRI at 7:20AM MT on Monday. Remember the "episodes" I had where my face and hands would go numb and I couldn't think straight and I couldn't talk correctly? This has been happening about twice a year for the past few years. I went in to a specialist last fall and he diagnosised it as migrains. It was a surprise because the worst of it was never pain. It would end with a little head ache but was very minor and totally bearable. The doctor had said he couldn't do an MRI while I was pregnant but would like to get me back in after the baby was born. I kind of put it on the back burner after Gabriel was born because Dave felt 100% that it was only migrains and no big deal. However, I had another one on May first that ended with a TERRIBLE head ache this time. This was a lot sooner after the last one then normal.Well, then I got another terrible head ache on the 10th just minus all the beginning symptoms. And then Wed. morning I woke with ANOTHER on...

I know I already posted a blog today but I thought it was time to post some new pictures too. I just love sharing pictures of my boys! These first two pictures were on Mother's Day: Liam and his cousin Norah: Fell asleep on our bed while watching Seinfeld (LOL): My smilie Baby Boy:

Liam has had the worst diarrhea ever for three days now. I wasn't concerned assuming it was just a bug he had. He was getting plenty of fluids in him so I didn't think he was dehydrated and he was acting totally normal. Until last night. . . he was complaining that his tummy hurt and I noticed it was very distended. He is a pretty skinny kid normally but his belly was HUGE! It kinda scared me. We called the "Docs on Call" office and they didn't have any openings to see him but felt he needed to be examined so they told us to take him to the ER. I stayed home with Gabriel and Dave and Liam headed to the ER around 9:15 last night. They got home over two hours later but everything was fine. Liam had thrown up in the car there but Dave said his belly had shrunk a bit and he acted better after it. They gave him a popsicle to help rehydrate him. Diagnosis was Stomach flu. Phew! We were all in bed by 11:30ish. Liam still has the "runs" today but his belly is mu...
