Wordless Wednesday


Gretzky?



This is getting dressed for Dylan's very first day of hockey. He said that he wanted to put on his 'tough hockey guy face'. I guess this is it! When we were shopping for his gear, I saw a hat that said Proud Hockey Mom. Dwayne thought I should buy it and I admit, it was cute. I fought the temptation and it is still at the store. It was red, but if it was pink, they woulda had me!

Two By Two

Dylan & I sat down to do a math lesson. It mainly focused on counting by twos. There were two vertical lines of dots down the page. This is how our conversation went:

Me: Okay, lets put our two fingers on these first two dots. When you lift up this finger, whisper 1 and when you lift up this other finger, say 2.

Dylan: (Whisper) 1, (Normal) 2

Me: Great! Let's go to the next set. Whisper 3, say 4.

Dylan: Mom, why don't we just say 2,4,6,8,10...18,20?

Math lesson over. Let's go play.

Pregnancy Picture



I am 24 weeks pregnant. My belly is much larger than the first two times! My best friend says that she has seen women 9 months pregnant with bellies this large!

House Update

Placenta Previa

My doctor phoned me a couple of days ago to go over my ultrasound results with me. Looks like I have placenta previa. It is common, not something I should be alarmed about, but something that I feel uncomfortable about. I will be having another ultrasound at 28 weeks to see how it looks. Please pray that it corrects itself before baby is ready to come.

Something Dylan Said Today

Okay, here is a conversation between my son, Dylan (5) and myself at dinner...

Dwayne was talking about going to the house after dinner to do some digging and Dylan wanted to go.

Dwayne: Why do you want to go?
Dylan: I want to spend some time with you without Mommy around.
Me: What's wrong with Mommy????!!!
Dylan: You know how you say that sometimes grownups need some alone-time without their children? Sometimes children need that special feeling too!

Yikes! He said it like it was a common fact and he was just filling me in. What do you say to that?
