1st Day of School!

Or it was suppose to be. A trip to the ER last week with my 2 year old (she's ok. she ate a pokeberry and we panicked) resulted in her bringing home a cold virus. Totally awesome. So far the 3 oldest have it, I hope the baby doesn't get it at all. We'll see how the 6 year old is when he gets up and then decide if school is a good idea today.

Trying to get our spending down even further. I am confident that I am not the only one doing that right now! So glad that I decided to go ahead and cloth diaper again but this time buying my own prefolds and washing them myself. So far it's been super easy and I even splurged and bought a wool soaker and a pair of wool longies. I get them tomorrow. I am stoked. I will take a picture of her in the longie- I am extra excited about that one! As this is our last baby- I can only justify buying one of each. Hope it's enough.

Being a mom to four is kah-razy! Not hard per se...but very busy. The 6 year old is a pretty good helper though. And enforcing chores and picking up after oneself has become a very apparent MUST. I will no longer respond to the question...So what do YOU do?....with a vague..."oh I am only a stay at home mom". Pshaw! Between homeschooling, caring for four kids 6 and under, being a wife, homemaker, financial manager etc....the word 'only' in front of stay at home mom has got to GO! LOL

Here's my precious baby girl. She is 2 1/2 weeks old. We are all doing great!

This is the picture I chose to use for announcements. We lub her lots!

I love this one of her crying. I got a little camera happy. I'll share some of my other children soon!

Have a blessed week!

Ha! I was checking in to tell you to have a great first day of school and you already have a post up! Your baby girl is just as beautiful as can be. What a blessing.

Hope everyone else doesn't get the cold. Have a great week!

She is just perfect! Love the pictures.

We have colds here too. Not sure what is going to happen with our school day today either.

I'm glad your 2 year old is okay. Why do they always have to to eat stuff?!

Have a great day,

Sorry I haven't visited sooner! I had been checking on you throughout August but September just whoosed by. I continued to pray for you, though. She's beautiful! I'm soooo glad everything went reasonably well and she's here finally. And she's healthy - praise the Lord! I so totally know what you were talking about with her birth. With my 3rd (and last) baby, I had about a 2-3 hour labor and felt the transition time (OUCH!) as well. And the back labor. And the big p____ feeling. It was so different from my first two births, it was wild! Anyway, I appreciate birth stories so thanks for sharing!

I hope everyone gets well soon and I'll pray that baby stays healthy. God bless you and your family, especially the little one! You look beautiful and your baby is just so sweet!
