A Trip to the ERPosted by beth on December 28, 2008
Unfortunately, this trip to the emergency room was to Children’s Hospital.
I heard a terrible, panicked screaming outside from Christian and rushed to the door to be met with my son, blood absolutely pouring out of his mouth.
I tried to stay calm and ask him what he had done and I made out that he [...]
A Very Merry Christmas!Posted by beth on December 26, 2008
Despite the injured wing, we managed to have a lovely Christmas here. My faithful and gracious mother-in-law flew out to help out with things since I am on the sidelines for a bit. She has made things so much better and I am grateful to have her here.
Here are some pictures of the big day:

Back on the ground…Posted by beth on December 22, 2008
I was over the moon a few days ago (18 to be exact) but am fully back on the ground. I think I’ve actually tripped, fallen and done a face plant back into reality.
I re-subluxed (temporarily dislocated) my shoulder on Saturday. I am in pain, I am feeling panicked that I have very little control [...]
Success!Posted by beth on December 19, 2008
Cookies are hard to bake. Maybe it is because we live at high altitude, or maybe it is because I sort of suck at baking, (because I don’t like having to be precise) or maybe I think it is a heck of a lot of work and I have other things to do. No matter [...]
A Little Linky LovePosted by beth on December 15, 2008
My friend Jenna wrote this incredible book review about a book I passed along to her.
Her honesty and openness about the way she once felt about motherhood is something I think many moms can identify with, whether they like to admit it or not.
Thanks, Jenna!
The Weather Outside is….Posted by beth on December 14, 2008
really cold!! As I type this, it is -8 and -25 if you count the windchill. Apparently, it will dip another 9 degrees tonight.
I enjoy it though. Yeah, call me weird or even stupid, but I love that sort of bone chilling cold. It just makes everything absolutely crisp and fresh. It makes me feel [...]
7 poundsPosted by beth on December 11, 2008
No, not the newest movie by Will Smith. I’m the mother of an eight month old, I don’t get to see movies.
This is the amount of weight I’ve lost since the day before Thanksgiving.
Ok, so seven pounds isn’t THAT much weight compared to the umpteen trillion I have left to go but consider the [...]

My husband is upstairs making me a delicious mushroom and bacon risotto. Yeah, that’s right, my husband is cooking for me while I sit in my chair with my fabulous little electric throw on me.
Don’t cry too hard.
I am over the moon….Posted by beth on December 4, 2008
because I saw the orthopedic surgeon guy and I have been given the go ahead to swim again! Freestyle!!!!
A year ago, I re-injured my shoulder for the 7th time by sweeping the floor. I was pregnant with Lily at the time so the darn hormones made my shoulder joint lax.
After 6 weeks of [...]
