We Love You Jaide

The Green Drink (credit to Susan)

We are not really big salad fans, and sometimes we forget to take the salad lettuce out of our organic farm order that comes up from Washington. Usually our lettuce kind of rots and gets tossed in the garbage, but thanks to Susan this is no longer happening. We are drinking our lettuce and the kids seem to love it. I add a whole bunch of lettuce, one pear, 2 cups of milk and 1 cup of yogurt, sometimes orange juice and Yummy. I still cannot get Greg to drink this though. He prefers spinach over lettuce in his smoothie.


Doing 'aerobics' after the green drink. :) Or pick your other caption....1. "Join the Cult!" 2. "Cabin Fever!" 3. "Dad didn't dress us again!"

Snow Day

We found the best slide park in Bethel and played for a little bit. Actually Ruby and Greg played and Moxy and I went into someone's house that lived near by. The temperature dropped and it got cold, but Ruby seems to not mind a little wind in her face.


Moxy does not like the wind in his face. He would not move from this place, he just stood there looking a little nervous.

TV Out of Here

We are reenacting the big WHACK that Ruby took at the television with her hockey stick. Greg says he broke a few windows while playing hockey as a kid, but never a t.v.. The places we called and researched on the internet all say the same thing: it would cost as much to repair it as it would to buy a whole new t.v. (The screen no longer works and would need to be replaced) Although this really is heartbreaking for me as now I cannot watch my scary ghost shows, we think no t.v. might be a blessing. So we are going to get rid of cable and use our computer to watch DVD's.


BAM, BAM, BAM

Look at me a Student Nurse

I had my first hospital clinical on Thursday, and got to wear my school nursing scrubs. I was really excited, but felt weird. My instructor told me that I get my own patient next week, this really freaks me out. We actually get to pair up with our first patient because the hospital is so small and their is 5 of us students per rotation. So this is comforting. I feel we have adjusted well to my school schedule. Greg seems to be surviving. I really do not know how I could do something like this without Greg. He has been more than supportive.

Some favorite photos

Poor Andrew sat down to rest and the kids jumped him with their favorite books, but Andrew likes to read so I guess he is okay with the nap disturbance.

Greg surprised Ruby with a big plate of pasta. Yummy Yummy!

Moxy grabbed Ruby's sunglasses and seems impressed with the view. He looks good, I hope he likes glasses because there is a good chance that he'll be wearing them in the future.

They Really are Something Else

Moxy just hanging out on the couch. He looks like he is growing like a weed, and yes those are little pink diapers.

Ruby decided to take the powder and throw it all over the room, then all over herself and Moxy. I left the room for just a short two seconds and I could hear laughter coming from the family room. She thought she was really cute.

After waking up at 5:00AM and forcing Greg out of bed they finally fell asleep right before I left for school.
