The truth is I have been busy. There have been moments that I could have blogged, caught up with my cyber friends, but I just have not wanted to. Recently, I have found that my days are more fulfilling if I keep the old computer shut down. I am in a season of desiring connection, something that I just do not find through any computer or blog, but rather through energy and efforts that bring me face to face with other people.

Still, I had a few things that I wanted to share. Here is the big news. I will just lay it out there. It is still hard to admit, hard to type, hard to acknowledge.

We are selling my jeep. Let me rephrase. WE are not selling my jeep. HE is selling my jeep. The love of my life is also my arch nemesis. Here he stands next to my small rusty metal piece of clunky freedom that will soon no longer be mine.



In addition to protesting the selling of my jeep I have been busy playing outside during these last sun-filled chilly days of fall with my adorable and rapidly growing son. Look at this face.



We found a place right outside of town, a farm of 111 acres, that allows people to come and walk the land. We like to go there now. Here we are walking, relaxing, enjoying the day last Sunday. Speaking of which, I have to tell you a quick pee story. At the farm I had to go. Being adventure mom I found a nice little patch and proceeded to do my business while trying to get Jason and Moose to stop poking me with sticks. I got up proud of myself as usual ( I have no idea but I am always proud of myself after going to the bathroom in the wilderness as if somehow I have done something wise, good, and fulfilling). Anyway, I got up and hiked up my pants only to realize that I had not pulled them down far enough and flat out peed right into them. Adventure mom strikes again.



Mihyla and Puka are doing well. Puka still chews everything in site, but he is staring to get a little bit better. For example, last week he only ate one of my favorite shoes instead of both of them. Hope. I have to love him though when I see him relaxed and enjoying the sun.


Yesterday I painted two rooms. They look good. Our house is really started to feel like home. Today, we are going to make pumpkin butter. Right now the entire house smells like bread. The smell is teasing me as I sit here hungry.

And, now for the moment I have been waiting for. My darling sister had a fun little thing happen to her and it is my right, responsibility and honor to share this with the world. I told her I was going to do this. It is my way at getting back at her for many things, including breaking a Barbie over my head many moons ago.

My sister, pictured below, is pregnant with her second child. She is due in less than two weeks. The phone rang over the weekend at a very late hour. It was my sister concerned that her water had just broken. She was asleep and woke up to what she thought was a sign of her upcoming delivery. To the hospital they went...a couple of hours later I get a phone call. Yea, her water did not break~ she peed her pants in her sleep! Hahahaha! Ah, I love my sister.
