Poor Addii has middle child syndrome. Preston took over her place ...sometimes all a child needs is a little more Mommie Time, not more activites. All Steve needed was an extra hug wakling down the hall to breakfast, every morning for a week or so. Hope this gives you some ideas.

I wish you would post your notes from Janna's workshop! To answer your questions on my blog post - I have been using the Nikon 35mm 1.8 lens and really love it. Not really a portrait lens, but it takes sharp, clear, bright pictures. And I use some actions with Photoshop Elements (I like these: http://www.mindysphotoactions.blogspot.com/) but also love editing w/ Aurora (http://www.lightcrafts.com/aurora/) it is $20 and SO easy to use.

I'm excited to see her pictures too... what camera did you decide on getting?

Can't wait to see the kidlets... and I'm even excited to see Addie's little mean streak :-)

See you soon!

There is a lot coming up this month.. and then the holidays are always busy. It'll be fun though. :)

I can't wait to see Janna's pictures! We see the kids so much, I'm excited to see some shots of the whole family.

Marci, your first sentence could have (and often does) come out of my mouth. It is the story of my life: my primary motivation to do ANYTHING is to get it ALL done, so I can relax and enjoy having no pressure. I know it is impossible, but I still can't shake the desire to try.

p.s. It hit its peak when we had 3 children, the frustration of not getting it all done all the time really set in.

p.s.s. you do a remarkable job, I couldn't ask for a better momma to my grand babies :)

2009-11-08T16:46:50.943-06:00

all i can say is...once again...you have THE cutest kids in the woorrrlllddd!!!!

I had never heard of this when I met you, I wish you had different news kind of, but it seems like a healthy way to eat. You are such a good mom and great at cooking for your family. Good luck with keeping up the great job you already do!

What Heather said is so true. When I started reading all the labels I became much more conscious of EVERYTHING that is added to prepared foods!

2009-11-06T09:01:45.063-06:00

The great thing is that you are so much more aware of the bad food and are eating a lot healthier than most!
You also have a great attitude about the disease and it is always so much better to know exactly what you re dealing with than to not be diagnosed correctly!

2009-11-05T09:52:20.150-06:00

I'm glad everything looked good- and cookies are bad for you anyways! :) I just realized I never gave you that check while we were there.

2009-11-05T07:30:43.489-06:00

I remember eating peanut butter and jelly rice cakes with you too! And I remember that in sacrament meeting there was always a piece of rice cake for you when the would pass the sacrament.

I'm glad you are ok though all together!

2009-11-04T17:15:22.029-06:00

Thanks for the update. I will try to more careful with our cooking when you guys visit....no whites. Did you hear that Mike? no whites!

...we'll see how well that works :)

2009-11-04T15:34:17.315-06:00

non-congratulations? I guess it's good that you know for sure. I remember feeling so bad for you when we'd have a treat at mutual that you couldn't have. But I bet your diet's 10x healthier than mine!

I bet that wasn't a pleasant experience! I'm glad...

2009-11-04T15:15:21.863-06:00

I bet that wasn't a pleasant experience! I'm glad you're OK. It's been interesting reading your recipes and learning more about this. No cookies is probably why you always look so great!

2009-11-04T15:06:19.739-06:00

I remember making you pb&j on rice cakes when I babysat you.

Like you said, at least you know how to do it. I think this is all so interesting and pretty cool that you will meet with a dietitian.

Preston sure looks happy to be out of that pepper costume.

Did they just love Halloween? It looks like they had a lot of fun! I too was excited about that day light saving s because church came way too early!

2009-11-02T18:19:16.485-06:00

Go Addie! I think girls end up with more candy than boys... William emptied his pumpkin when we were done and I swear Brooklynn had about 30% more candy than he did. Guess we'll have to come up with something really cute next year to make up for the male gene.
