Hey Mo! You HAVE been busy. I just read an article recently that's it's important to have the MMR no later than their 15 mos mark. Now I can't remember where I saw that. The whole article was talking about getting vaccines on time or they aren't as effective but don't quote me. I'll see what I can dig up.

Trying to get Bryce to nap. Idiot that I am, I peeked in when it got quiet and he saw me and fussed. But he has settled again and I am This is madness.

Melissa, I hope you get some sleep soon. It's so hard to function on little sleep.

Andy...Now I can make a loaf a bread a day if I want but before, when I was doing it by hand, I just made 2 - 4 loaves at once just once or twice a week. (If the breads not there, we just don't eat it!) So no, I was not kneading away every day! No way! I would love to hear your recipe! I need to find a good one with all wheat flour and honey instead of sugar for a bread machine, so that would be perfect! Oh, and about cutting it...use an electric knife after the bread has cooled. I like it thin too!

So, I feel like I've let myself become more negative in the past year (pulling out the "hormonal" card when really it was just selfishness/self-pity) and more critical of other people (on stuff that doesn't matter). We were talking in our small group this week about being more transparent/authentic and we also spent time having communion just in family groups, so we could confess things to our spouse. I said it out loud to John that I've become too critical of him and view myself too highly in our marriage. I feel like I can really start working on this area now that I've confessed it to him more formally. It's been really good. I have a lot of work to do.

Anyway, it sounds like the boys made their way into the garage downstairs, so I should probably go investigate! Have a great day!

Andy, thanks for the link. I checked it out and didn't find anything that great, but I will have a talk with dh about it. We have planted quite a bit of stuff in our garden so we should have a good harvest of vegetables this summer. If you could find the recipe for the whole wheat honey bread, I would love it. It sounds perfect!

Melissa, I will check out the link for that site. Thanks!

Melissa, the bedroom looks like a grown up room, finally! We've been sleeping on a mattress and boxspring alone for almost 3 years!

I'll take pics and post them this weekend, if I get all the pictures and new curtains hung before mother's day. On THAT day, I do SQUAT!

Angela - Truitt has certainly filled out! What a couple of cuties you have there.
