Mighty Jack And Some Updates


Jack loves Superman, Spiderman, and Batman right now....but my favorite of his favorites is Mighty Mouse. For those of you poor souls unfamiliar with Mighty Mouse, he was a superhero of the early 80s. I used to go around the house singing his song "Here I come to save the day! Mighty (and I changed this part) Mary's on the way!" We bought some episodes from Walmart and since he's watched them a few times he's decided that he is Mighty Jack. He jumps around and punches toys and the couch saying "Mighy Dack!" He also has decided that his Mickey Mouse pjs are actually Mighty Mouse pjs...more exciting.


Daisy is cute as can be. She's been working on three more teeth bringing her total up to five. Her hair's getting long enough that it's in her eyes if I don't put it up in piggies.


She loves pulling herself up on most anything and crawling over obstacles. She has a rash around her mouth right now, but hopefully that will get cleared up soon as we are taking her in to the doctor tomorrow to get it checked out.


She's a sweetie and we sure love her laugh! Other than that, we're all doing pretty well. I'm trying to survive the morning sickness the best I can while Michael is finishing up his first trimester of chiropractic school. He just has to finish up some finals today and then two more tomorrow and we're home free! A two week break is just what the doctor ordered. We are looking forward to some fun adventures during his break from school.

Things to be Thankful For


Just a few things I'm thankful for today (in no particular order):

1. Naps on the weekends. Michael is home during the day and so I can usually sneak in a nap each day he is home. My body becomes so tired helping this little baby green olive inside of me grow that those little cat naps (or however long they may last) are MUCH appreciated!

2. My new running shoes. I've had them for a few months now, but they still look new and make my feet so comfy wearing them. Love them!

3. My kids love each other. Jack and Daisy simply adore each other. They follow each other around the house and get into all sorts of messes together. It sure makes mothering that much easier when they love each other.

4. Grandma Hummel. She sends me little notes on email or in the mail every once in a while and they seem to come to cheer me up and encourage me at just the right times. Thanks, Grandma!

5. General Conference. I may have missed chunks at a time due to children, but what I heard was much needed comfort and also a much needed kick in the pants :)

6. Michael. He has to put up with a lot when I am pregnant. My crazy emotions and lack of physical energy make life quite a bit rougher on him. I'm thankful that he picks up the slack and loves me despite my mood/accomplishments.

7. Good vibes. Even though I'm living far away from family, and sometimes that's tough, my family occasionally sends me the good vibes to help me through the day.

I could go on, but I think I'll just leave this post as-is and continue these thoughts on my own. Thanks!
