1. I've been sick. I think I'm finally at the tail end of this cold.
2. I've been reading the Harry Potter books. Now that we've watched all the movies, I'm a little bit obsessed. It's been about one week, and I'm already on the fourth book. (I found a website where I can read them online! For free!)
3. When I'm not reading Harry Potter, I'm reading birth stories, because I'm a little bit obsessed with that as well. But that's a blog post of its own, so that's all I'm going to say about that.
4. Art and I are going through Financial Peace University. It's changing our lives. Do you want to get out of debt permanently and build wealth and know that your family and your future will be secure financially? Because you can. It's not a get-rich-quick scheme. It's tedious, it takes a lot of discipline, patience, sacrifice and hard work, but it's possible! And worth the time and effort.
5. I may not have published many posts lately, but I'm actually working on a few of them (not that that does you guys any good). Two of them involve uploading videos, and the whole uploading process is being quite stupid. (I'm trying to put together a three-month update, and I swear, by the time I finally post it, Sophia will be a year old.)
Another is actually a guest post, and for that post, I'm determined to include a nice, current picture of me with Sophia. However, since I never go anywhere, I seldom take the time to get dressed, never mind putting on makeup and such.
Not that I actually have the time to do this, because my little girl can't stand to be left alone for more than a few minutes. It makes it quite difficult to get in a decent shower more than a couple of times a week. And speaking of showers, that's one of the things I was hoping to accomplish today. Sophia looks to be getting quite sleepy, so hopefully it'll happen within the next half hour or so. *Fingers crossed, praying fervently*

A Series of Events - Tale #5: Sophia's Betrothed
Once upon a time, I had (and still have) this beautiful friend named Mandi.
Here's another angle:
That is a preggo belly, in case you were wondering. A little back story: our husbands became friends just out of high school, and we became friends when we started going to a Bible study together, a little over a year ago. They got married last summer (in fact, their anniversary is coming up in a few days), and announced their pregnancy shortly after we announced ours.
They don't live close by, but we all go to the same church, so I still got to see her on a regular basis. I'm so glad I had a close friend that was pregnant at the same time. It was great going through our pregnancies together.
After I had Sophia, she came by on a weekly basis to see me and my little girl. She LOVES babies, and was getting her fill until she had her little boy came along (she was nine weeks behind me). The above pictures were taken on May 26.
Two days later (on my birthday!) she had this little guy:
His name is Zachary Adam.
This is Sophia and Zachary on their first date:
You see, the four of us had an agreement: if our babies are the same gender, they will be best friends. If they are opposite genders, they will get married. We had a girl, they had a boy, and I can hear those wedding bells already. ;)
As his future mother-in-law, I appreciate the points he tried to win with me by being born on my birthday.
(Mandi's boys)
It's hard to believe that these moments took place more than three weeks ago. They grow up so fast...

A Series of Events - Tale #4: My Birthday
Once upon a time, on May 28, I had a birthday. I turned 26.
And before I go any further, let's get these pictures out of the way. Because these are the only two pictures I took. How seriously lame is that? We had this whole weekend thing with our friends at Art's parents' place in Oak Harbor, and the only time I pulled out my camera is when she was sleeping face down on a giant pillow in a sleeper bag thing.
(Btw, we never put her to sleep on her tummy. This was Art's mom's doing, and it was perfectly safe, because the pillow was too stiff for her to suffocate. Plus she knows how to lift her head. Plus we kept checking on her. Plus she didn't stay asleep like this for very long.)
So. Wayne and Sozan, and Art and Sophia and I all went down to Oak Harbor, to Art's parents' place on Friday, May 27. We all stayed the night, and hung out there for most of Saturday.
Art's mom already had a ton of food cooked, and she cooked even more the next day. We watched a movie or two, and a lot of TV (especially Mythbusters). The weather was beautiful, so we spent some time just sitting out in their yard, enjoying the sun.
I didn't sleep well, so the next day, while everyone went shopping, I napped with Sophia. I think I was a bit of a party pooper. However, it gave Art's mom and Sozan an opportunity to buy my birthday gifts. I got clothes, which I was thrilled about. Especially because they fit! I wasn't there to try them on, so they guessed, and got it right! So now I have a pair of capris, a tank top with a knit vest, and a matching purse!
It was pretty low key, which was just fine. Going out to Oak Harbor was as much going out as I wanted to do.
After dinner was over, and after one more episode of Mythbusters, we left Art's parents' house, and went to see Wayne and Sozan's uncle, who lived in the next town just north of Oak Harbor. We weren't there for very long, but the little time we did spend there was a lot of fun. He's already super cool, and bonus: he loves babies! You just don't expect a 50-something year old guy with three grown kids to be a baby person. I'm not even a baby person!
Anyway, he lent us the first six DVDs of the Harry Potter series. I hadn't seen any of them before. Not because I'm opposed to them. I just never got into them. But the last Harry Potter movie is coming out in July, and Wayne's uncle wants us all to go see it together. Which means I would have to watch all the other ones first. So we took the DVDs, chatted for a couple of hours, said our good-byes, and promised to return soon.
And that was my fairly uneventful, photo-less birthday! I have to say, it didn't really feel like my birthday. It didn't even feel like May! The weather has been less summery than we would like, so it just seemed weird that I was having my birthday! Hopefully the weather smartens up and we can experience a true summer.

My Grandmother
I was going to do Sophia's Three Month post, but that will have to wait. Today I need to talk about my Grandma.
In March, just before I had Sophia, my grandma was admitted to the hospital. I don't remember why. I think her stay there was three weeks? Or maybe a month. Anyway, she did get to go back home, but she never really got better.
My family thought that she maybe caught some sort of infection from her hospital stay, and in May, just before my mom came to visit me, my grandma went back to the hospital. The doctors had a few different ideas as to what might be wrong, and very recently, a nurse told my mom that they thought my grandma was experiencing heart failure. They figured it wouldn't be long before she died. I asked my mom how long "not long" was, but nobody knew.
"Not long" turned out to be two days. This morning, my 91 year old grandmother died. My family has lost a great prayer warrior.
It's a funny thing about grief. My grandma wanted to go to heaven, and we didn't want to see her suffer. So I'm not exactly sad that she's in heaven. I don't grieve for her. I grieve for me, because I won't get to be at her funeral. I grieve for Sophia, because she never got to meet her great-grandmother. I grieve for my sister's unborn baby, who also never got to meet his or her great-grandmother.
I grieve for my cousin, who will be getting married in August, that grandma won't be at that wedding. I grieve for all the future spouses and babies that have yet to join our family, that they didn't get to know this tiny, wonderful woman.
At the same time, it feels almost selfish to think that way. My grandma isn't dead, she's just not alive here on earth anymore. But she is very much alive in heaven. She is with her husband now (my grandpa died in 1986). She is with most of her brothers and sisters (I think my mom has one aunt who is still alive). And most importantly, she is with Jesus.
I don't have a recent picture of her, but I do have a happy one. (I stole this from my sister.)
I love you, Grandma. I'll miss you. I am so very blessed to have had a grandma like you. I pray that I will also be blessed with many years on this earth, but more importantly, that I will become a prayer warrior like you were. (And as my sister said), I pray that I will raise up prayer warriors.
Her race is finished. Now we pick up where she left off. She may have been a tiny woman, but she leaves some big shoes to fill. And that's a good thing. That's the way it should be.
So I will be sad for what we all have lost. But I will be happy for what heaven has gained. My grandma was a good and faithful servant, and has received her reward: Paradise.

A Series of Events - Tale #3: Family and Friends
Once upon a time, one week before my birthday, my mother had a surprise for me: she came to visit! It was a last-minute decision made by my dad.
You see, he's been very very busy for about a year now, and he promised that by May of this year things would finally slow down. So my mom has really been looking forward to having her husband back. But when the Canadian May long weekend rolled around, he decided to go fishing!
He must have felt guilty about it because he asked my mom, "How about I buy you a plane ticket to go see Art and Jenene and Sophia?" Well, my mom didn't have to think twice about that one!
It wasn't a complete surprise. As in, she didn't just show up at my door. That was actually her original plan, but she ended up telling me, because she found out that her visit was going to overlap with another event: my friend Kat came to visit me too!
Kat is one of my best friends. We met at Bible college, and though we don't speak or see each other that often, we have one of those friendships where we can pick up where we left off, no matter how long it's been.
Also, look at how happy she is, holding Sophia. Would you believe that a year ago, she was terrified of holding babies? She's had a bit of practice, and now she's a natural!
We took her and my mom out for dinner a couple of times, once to Art's favorite brewery, seen here:
Okay, so you can't actually see the restaurant at all.There was someone playing a lively piano song in the bar part of the restaurant, and Art was making Sophia dance. Don't you love her little sheep feet?
We also took Kat to our favorite Cajun restaurant. She was game enough to try the frog legs and alligator dip, and she actually liked them!
We also took her and my mom out for breakfast at that creperie I mentioned in the last post. We kind of love that place. (Fine, we love a lot of places. There are just so many great, unique restaurants around here!)
Art and I had a proper breakfast this time (not dessert), and Kat had a fruit and chocolate waffle that would make my sister jealous (my sister LOOOOOOOOOOVES waffles). I don't remember what my mom had, but I don't think anyone actually got crepes! And their crepes are excellent.
We also did some shopping. Kat bought Sophia a cute little Fourth of July dress [I'm so glad she supports our patriotism ;)], and she bought me two pairs of jeans as an early birthday gift! (Not that she needed to. Her coming to visit me was a great birthday gift in and of itself.)
And remember how I mentioned Sophia's early birthday gift to me? Well, Kat's first night here, Sophia slept through the night! Like a typical new mother, I did NOT sleep through night. I think I checked on her four or five times. How lame am I?
I'm sure there is more to tell of this tale, but seeing as how I failed to take more than five pictures, I can't really remember what else we did. If you click here, you can read all about it from Kat's point of view.
The End!

A Series of Events - Tale #2: Mother's Day
Once upon a time, it was Mother's Day. We went to church (where the picture below was taken),
I got flowers,
and we went to our favorite creperie for brunch, where we basically ate dessert for our meal. (Ever had Black Bottom Cupcakes? To die for.)
Sophia loves that place, as you can see.
What you can't see is the cute white sleeper she is wearing with the tiny pink and purple flowers on it. And she might never wear it again. :(
Art's parents came over, and Sophia greeted them with a huge poo-splosion that has forever stained that beautiful sleeper (despite my efforts to get rid of that large yellow circle in the back).
They took us to a Chinese buffet for an early dinner. Art's mom LOVES her a Chinese buffet, and was happy to be able to take us to one again. My hating Chinese food while I was pregnant was really hard on her. ;)
Art didn't get me anything for Mother's Day at that point because every time he asked me what I wanted, I told him I didn't know. Well, what I wanted was for Sophia to sleep through the night, but that isn't something he can control.
A week later I remembered my Amazon wishlist, so I chose four items from there as my belated Mother's Day gift. I got three books and one DVD. Two of the books cost one cent! The DVD was less than two dollars, and the last book was around $7. And then there was shipping, of course, but that's quite a lot of entertainment for $24, and it will keep me busy for some time.
So what did Sophia get me for Mother's Day? The fussiest evening of her life. Oh well. Her early birthday gift to me made up for it. Which is a story for another post.

A Series of Events - Tale #1: A Trip to Seattle
Once upon a time, a few weeks back, we had to drive down to Seattle to the Dept of Homeland Security so they could take my fingerprints and my picture, because my greencard is up for renewal. I was really nervous, because it's a long drive, we had to leave early in the morning, and I was afraid we would be dealing with a very fussy Sophia.
But she was great! She slept almost the whole way down, waking up just as we were arriving at the USDHS. I managed to pump a couple of bottles for her as we were driving, and hoped it would be enough.
Art dropped me off, I went inside the building, and he drove off, with Sophia, to get some coffee. I prayed that the process would go quickly, and that she wouldn't put up a big fuss (because the bottle just isn't as nice as direct from mommy).
When I was all done and Art returned to pick me up, he said she had taken half of the first bottle and was perfectly content!
After that we headed back to the coffee shop (and to a little market nearby) so we could get something to eat. Then we went to the park (as pictured below). It was one of the first nice spring days we had, and we made the most of it.
I tried to capture Mt. Ranier in the background.
We wanted a cute picture of her among the pretty flowers. She couldn't appreciate the effect.
After spending a couple of hours in the park, soaking up the sunshine (and attempting to make my very first daisy chain, which kept breaking), we headed to...a mall. I'm trying to remember which one, but there are a lot of malls. This one had a P.F. Chang's restaurant in it, which is one of Art's favorite restaurants. We had a late lunch there, then headed home.
We probably should have gotten an earlier start, because we ran into rush hour traffic. (Rush hour starts early just north of Seattle.) I was out of bottles by this time, and even though I had just fed Sophia before we left, she started fussing right as we were coming to a crawl. I told Art to bear with the crying as I quickly pumped one side, frantically got it into a bottle and into her mouth, and hoped she would be satisfied with it long enough for me to pump the other side.
I needn't have worried. It ended up being enough for her, and as we slowly made our way out of the traffic, she fell asleep, and didn't wake up until we were almost home.
All in all it was a really great day. Everything worked out wonderfully, and now I'm just waiting for my new card to arrive in the mail!

Summertime!
We are finally getting some proper summer weather around here. We've been going to the park almost every weekend. This weekend we went twice!
Sophia seems to enjoy it. We certainly enjoy trying to make her as cute as possible. These flowers are from a magnolia tree.
I hope that wherever you are, you too are enjoying beautiful summer weather.

Unintentional Absence
I haven't posted in forever. And I hate it. Because stuff has been happening, but you guys don't know anything about it.
Mothers Day happened, and we even have a few pictures.
My mom visited.
My best friend from Alberta visited.
I had a birthday.
We had Memorial Day weekend.
I got a bunch of books and magazines. (Probably one of the reasons I haven't been blogging. Netflix is the other reason.)
My friend had her baby, Sophia's future husband. I have pictures of their first date. :)
So even though it feels like my life is nothing but breastfeeding and laundry, I have actually been doing things. I'll try my best to record these things here. After all, I have this blog for a reason: to share my life with far-off friends and family, and anybody else who wants to read about it.
In the meantime, please enjoy this picture of Sophia in a blanket.
