Happenings....

Well, I've made it to 13 weeks now and still start the morning off with a nice vomit!  Man, I sure thought this would be over by now.  Maybe by 14 weeks?!  haha.

Elliot is pretty into Jesus and God right now.  They go hand-in-hand.  "Jesus and God made the crescent moon, Mommy."  She tells me stuff like this all the time.  (I figure it's a little over her head to tell her God made the world, then Jesus was born of Emmaculate conception, Christ crucified, Trinity, etc. :-)  So, the other morning I was getting sick and I hear this sweet little voice say, "Mommy, Jesus and God made your puke, Mommy!"  It was so funny and sweet.  All I could say was, "Thank you."  

She's also really into her body and figuring it out.  She gets really excited when she finds a new vein these days.  It's super funny how thrilled she is with her veins.  One morning we were sitting around and she points to her butt and says, "I got a hole there, why I got a hole?"  Hilarious!   A few week ago we were at the doctor and I was at the counter filling out papers while she was sitting in a chair and proceeded to talk about "GINA's" real loud!  I tried to get her to quite down, but everyone already knew what she was talking about.  Well, plenty more stories like that...but I'm sure you don't want to hear them all.

Not much else going on around here.  I am starting to feel a bit better in general.   We've been going out a lot more and spending afternoons outside with popsicles, chalk, bubbles, and neighborhood friends.  Wes has been working like crazy so that kinda stinks.  We sure are excited to end our Army life in April!  :-)  Not sure how we'll be feeding 5 mouths, but we have faith it'll all work out.

On a little political side note: I MUST have some serious crazy hormones because I got a little chocked up watching John McCain's speech tonight.  The last few times I've seen him on T.V. all I can look at is his arms and how there's something not quite right with them.  When he was telling his whole POW story, it was just heart-wrenching.  Man, he's been through a lot.  Okay, vote for who you want...I just thought it was a neat speech and a pretty spectacular life he's had! :-)
