Whoa! Busy month!

This is Halynd about 3 weeks ago! She has grown so much now! At her well check after her check up :) she weighed 11lb 4oz. She has some catching up to do! When Malachi was her age he was almost 16lbs.
This is what Malachi does everytime the camera come out now. He runs, hides and covers his face!

Well, still no pictures from Malachi's birthday party :( We recently moved! We decided one week to maybe look for a house, and that weekend, we were putting down a deposit. God's timing is amazing!! We just moved to the next town over-Rogers. Our new address is 608 E. Bonnie Ln. Rogers, AR 72758. We are still wrapping things up at the house in Bella Vista-so the garage is a mess!
The first week of the daycare in my own house seemed to be a success! It felt much more laid back and I wasn't as high strung! It was definitely fun again.
Malachi is in love with HIS room and wants to show everyone where the toys are as soon as they walk in the door.He is loving his trucks, ninja turtles, cars and most of all 2 particular stuffed "monekeys". He likes watching "Bobby" the tomato and strangely, Phineas and Ferb (of which will no longer be acceptable the second he performs one of their ridiculous stunts). His speaking is coming along nicely! He will repeat anything you tell him to (to the best of his ability). He is beginning to speak in sentences-as well as telling you funny stories complete with reenactments of whatever went on. For example-when I was tucking him into bed the other night, I was trying to read him a story, but he kept interrupting with a tale about one his friends biting him, how it was an owwie, how he said "no! no!", and said it was bad. Then he proceeded to inform me that there were "jayackets in the closet". I couldn't help but to crack up and have Donovan come in to hear the story. Everyday I notice a new developmental advancement and it is so much fun. Just this morning, he was sitting in his room and putting a numbers puzzle together-all by himself! He knows colors and 123-now to master the potty training and not yelling to hear his own voice....hmm
Halynd is more beautiful everyday. She is still as sweet as can be and growing so much! She is already sitting up by herself. If you put her in the boppy laying down, she will thrust herself forward to sit up. She is almost rolling over-if only that pesky arm would move out of the way! She loves attention and talking to you. She sticking out her tongue and blowing bubbles and raspberries whenever you stick yours out at her.
Donovan and I are not particularly loving school at this point in our lives. It is very hard to keep up with and sometimes exhausts us beyond our breaking point. Pray for persistence and perseverance in this time of our lives! :) That's it for now-let us know if there's anything to pray for you about!

Gentry Zoo

Image
To celebrate H-bugs first birthday, we went to the Gentry Zoo on Monday! She loved it. Both her and Malachi are big time animal lovers. I'm not sure where they get that from ;) Haly kept her eye on the Emu's the entire drive. She did not like them. There's this look she gives when she's not sure of a situation, and the birds definitely got that look. We named this guy Ted. Doesn't he look like a Ted? We aren't sure what he is, so we named him. The kids and I flipped out when he decided to stick his entire head in our car before we could roll up the window. He drooled on my skirt. The nerve! This Camel also stuck his entire German Shepherd sized head in our window! The best experience by far was the Zebras. Malachi just puckered up and laid a smooch on this guy. When we told him to do it again he informed us that it was "yucky" and then proceeded to scream "IT'S A WOLF"-or an Alpaca...with his head in Donovan's window with the most hil...

A whole year with the little ladybug

Image
I know this is a little late, but we've been a little busy :) July 10th, 2009 at 12:36 a.m. 6 lbs, 12 oz. I cannot believe my little girl is already one! It seems like she's still just a baby, and she is my baby! Going through the parenting with Malachi, I didn't realize how much they really change. It seems like in just a few weeks, she exploded into a new person. *She is 18.4 lbs. and 27.5 inches long. *She has a head full of hair now that can be fashioned into rubber banded pigtails (horns). She will NOT keep bows in. She will eat them. *She is walking all the time and everywhere. *She is climbing on the couch, our bed, up stairs and any chair she can reach. *She has 6 teeth, 2 bottom and 4 on top. *She has kicked the bottle except for night time. Even then, sometimes she's so tired she just rolls over and goes to sleep. She's having a hard time drinking from a sippy cup because of how fast it comes out-she always spits it everywhere. *She eats ever...

Quiet as a church mouse

The idiom “quiet as a church mouse” definitely gives off some negative connotations. First thoughts are-why would a mouse be lurking in a church? The short answer to that is definitely goldfish crackers and warmth. Another is -Eww. Rodents. They’re so...rodent like. My nick name is Meg-a-moo, or Moo for short. This was lovingly assigned to me from origins unknown. No, My cries did not imitate that of a cow when I was a baby-It just seemed like a fitting name. In researching the starting point from hence “quiet as a church mouse”-it is clear that this, much like my nick name, has no definite origin. It is a well known fact, however, that mice are meek. They make little noise on their own and scavenge for food and a place to make their home. In the 16th century, churches did not store food-whereas, here in 2018, the kids literally CANNOT go more than an hour without sustience. Enter Goldfish crackers. Cue mice. I am a Children’s Minister at a church here in Fayetteville. The job desc...
