It is Wednesday!

One of the days that I still haven't figured out how to manage is Wednesday! See, Monday is laundry day (and clean up day after the Sabbath) Tuesday I need to set aside partly for the girls outing and to finish laundry and ironing. Wednesday? I've thought that that needs to be office day but well today I ended up doing tons of cleaning instead! Made one meal for the communion and now we have leftovers for supper tonight. Anyways, here is a picture of my lovely Sister Jackie and her daughter and mine.



Amelia must be catching a cold or something cause she has a runny nose. She's also been grabbing at one of her ears and thats also worrying me. I've been trying to get medicaid for her so I could have medical appointments without the cost. Well, I was denied medicaid but referred to something similar...that really doesn't make sense! Heres my lovely Mommy below holding Amelia, she was describing what Jett does sometimes...

Yesterday I went to the WIC office (Women, Infants and Children program) to get my vouchers again, however they had to recheck my money situation to make sure I wasn't making millions of dollars! :) Anyways, it just happens to be that the lady helping me is named Amelia Lopez. Why do mexicans call babies "mamas"? I'll never figure that one out! So I got my finger pricked, the baby weighed etc. To my surprise Amelia is only 18 pounds! Hmm, makes me wonder how much Jenna weighs!

Heres my daddy.

And heres a silly looking pic of me daughter.

Anyways, I had better change someones diaper...the never ending process (or so it seems!)!

bits and bobs

It is very warm here today, but thankfully a nice breeze is flowing through the windows...well somewhat. I'm sure that its different in Canada...cold maybe?

Our court yard just outside our apartment for those of you who haven't visited me yet in Texas (for example my brothers!)



I put Amelia down for a nap a few minutes ago and decided to relax and write an email and write on here. I haven't been feeling very great today some kind of stomache pain. It could be worse. This morning I felt dragged out of bed for worship (I wasn't dragged but you know the feeling of getting up real early when your still half asleep) at 7:45am...yes I know its not that early! Lately I've been going to bed late. I then had to hurry get Jett's lunch finished and start my morning routine. Threw a load of diapers in the wash, made some granola square things, and cleaned my bathroom today...so I guess I've accomplished a little. Tonight we have church so it will probably be another late-ish night. :(

Here's a pic of Amelia in Canada sitting up all grown up like on Everdena's very comfy bed.

Theres my lovely Oma, its hard not being around her like I used to. Taken at Uncle Daves house.
Anyways, I still haven't checked Amelia...I put her on the floor in my room so that she won't roll off the bed (not that she has yet!) so I need to make sure she hasn't decided to roll to another end of the room or something. She'll be 8 months this Saturday! Wow, time sure flew by!

My first post...

Its a beautiful not so dreadfully hot and humid, not so sunny day. My laundry is hanging out to dry in the lovely breeze and my wash machine is waiting to me to unload it and reload it once again...and here I am spending my time writing this thing! Below is a photo of the second last week in February you should really see the tree now! The leaves are completely out!

Amelia is still taking her nap its been 2 hours already but I'm glad!! I've gotten some things done for once! Jett went off to Uni this morning once again after his March break (which wasn't even a break) so hes into classes and studying etc etc again.

My Aunt and Uncle are down from Canada for a while, not sure when they are due back home, its nice having relatives visiting down here!

Anyways, will have to post some other time when I have a wee bit more time than now.
