Ghouls and Boils (Girls and boys)

No, she's not choking him! She's trying to hold his little wobbly head up long enough for me to take the shot...and then of course she gets this wild hair and shoots up WAAAAAAY over the top of him and says CHEESE as I cut her head off...but its still a cute shot! And just a small sampling of her love for him. Before he was born and I was oooober pregnant we went past an Indian Restaurant and I made the innocent comment that we should eat there and maybe the heat of the food would "smoke" him out. Well this poor child since then EVERY time we pass the restaurant she says "mama, we can't smoke Jaxon!" Today she took it even farther as to explay WHY we can't smoke Jaxon, apparently in 3yr old logic "we can't smoke Jaxon, he's a people and we don't eat people! We only eat meat!!" At least I dont have to worry about her eating her little brother anytime soon :)

Freyja news...potty training is still going... When we're out, theres no accidents... then we come home and oh man does her laundry pile up in just one day! And on top of potty training accidents the poor kid has had an accident prone week and the bad news is, its only Tuesday... Saturday we went to a birthday party for DJ's twins, they just turned 8. The party was at the beach, it was our first trip out there since the spill and honestly you can't really tell we had one! Well, a handful of steps out of the car she topples off the sidewalk and gets a huge scrape on her knee, luckily the rest of the party went well. Yesterday she was a walking disaster! She wore too small of shoes and wore blisters on her heels, missed her swing and landed butt/back first in the dirt and to add insult to injury the swing smacked her on the bridge of her nose between the eyes and left a little bloody spot. THEN she fell out of bed last night!  I swear I'm not killing my kid, she just has my clutz gene! Bad news...she'll never outgrow it, good news...she'll live...I hope!

Jaxon is 7wks old today!!! I wish I could take a picture of where he currently is...I'm on the couch in the den with the laptop in my lap and he is laying across my arms as I type. He's big on being touched, as long as my hands are for the most part on him he's happy. Its a good thing I'm home with him all the time!! He's starting to focus alot more, he's starting to smile finally, his neck is getting stronger, he coo's constantly, he still loves sleeping almost more than eating and is growing like a little weed! His next check up is the 18th of this month, I will update with stats then :)

We had a MAJOR upset last week. I was making some room on our picture drive and burning some backups when the drive up and died on us. At first we thought the worst and thought we'd lost ALL pictures, documents, programs, etc that we had stored since 2003 (and back to 1997 for me) but luckily after a couple of days of tearing Davids office apart our losses boil down to the last 3years of his tinkering with some programming (he hasn't done alot since he's been busy working), I lost ALL of my music and only a handful of pictures which unfortunitely included Jax's birth and anything from August 16th to September 25th...luckily those items are on Picasa so they are not gone for good and all of my other pictures that predate August 16th have been saved on my fathers system so he will be sending copies back to me. Just goes to show you should not trust your life to a computer... I will burning cd's on a monthly basis now of all albums so that I never lose them again!

This concludes this note...I'll be back mid month when Jax has his check up and will catch you up on the latest "kids say the darnedest things" from my darling daughter!
