I'm here too!

I haven't spent a lot of time in front of the computer the last couple of weeks--we're entering a new and mysterious phase in Ezra's life which is called "Worse Than The Terrible Twos". Mema is right when she says it's all about odd numbered years. So I have been trying to pay more attention to him when he's doing well (instead of ignoring him to read on the computer) and also to wear him down--the weather here has moderated to the point that we can go outside and play most days. That, of course, wears Mommy down too (and I still have a terrible cold), and add to that Mercy's needs (she's responding well to our new program, though!) and Gideon (who sleeps "through the night" (one 5-hour stretch surrounded by two 3-hour stretches) HOORAY!)--and you have a tired but happy momma.

Bradley has the older two upstairs right now so I can take a Saturday morning nap. And so, goodnight for now. I will find the link to the rice recipe later, but if you want to find it look in the archives in September 2005--I think that's where it is. And thanks for the news update--the Chateau was where I first learned about Anna Nicole Smith, and that soccer story is inspired! And have I mentioned how glad I am that I am not in Buffalo NY right now?

Oh, and potty training...well, ARUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!
