- First road trip:
Two weeks ago, T had 3 day work trip in Michigan planned, I got geared up to do it all alone, the trip got cancelled, and then the trip was put back on and lengthened to 5 days about 36 hours before T would have to leave. I panicked. I called my mom. She's a travel agent for BYU and gets to fly standby for cheap. The next morning, my mom's flight arrived and by the afternoon the kids and I and Nana were all in the car headed for Utah. It was a whirlwind trip and I'm so glad I was crazy enough to go. T booked his return flight to SLC and drove from Utah back to California with me. One word highlights: Carmel, trains, Greek, Cafe Rio, cousins, Honeycrisp, geckos, hair bows, friends, Chipata, betrothed, sisters, cider, farm, zoo, praying mantis.
- Stopped nursing. A & M would only nurse well for maybe 10 minutes and then they wanted bottles. I'm very pleased that I got 4 1/2 months of nursing for both of them. It's like a nursed one baby for 9 months. Right?
- A & M moved out of our room and into their room.
- A & M started solids yesterday! I've spent the last week making double batches of baby food for the freezer and grinding grains for their cereals. So far we have:
Cereal - brown rice, oat, barley, millet, quinoa
Veggies - green beans, peas, carrots, acorn squash, butternut squash, beets, parsnips, broccoli, asparagus, yams
Fruits - Peaches, pears, cranberry cinnamon applesauce
- I finally found a color scheme for our great room that I love. I've been painting, sewing, searching for fabric, and burning the midnight oil. Hopefully I'll post pictures of it all before Christmas.
