Our weekend

I wanted to post some pictures from this past weekend -- On Saturday M and the kids worked on the play ground that they are building in the back yard. Things are coming right along. I am hopeful that they get it finished this weekend. Then we can work on landscaping my backyard around the sand box and play area. Hooray!


Then on Sunday, J and I made chocolate chip coconut cookies. He really wanted cookies and I wasn't feeling amazing and was skipping church and the two combined into making cookies for him. You know what? They did actually make me feel a bit better -- soon this cold will go away. *sniff sniff* Anyway, I let J hold the mixer all by himself (against my better judgment) and took a couple pictures, I had to share my favorite. We had so much fun together!

She's a cutie - I've been thinking about getting some of these stamps but I have to make sure I get some ink to all my others before I hit another stamp line.

My Decade Later Comeback and Playing Catch Up

Hello friends, It's been awhile and I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since moving to Oregon. I got busy with growing four babies into teens, and attempting to hold together a marriage with a partner who was working out of town for the most part. It was a lot! Truth be told, I have been spending most of my time over on Instagram which allows for more quick picture and caption posts (@the.amanda.sewell), but I really, genuinely miss having a journal of our adventures, so I'm back.  Some changes, my ex-partner moved out in October of 2023 (after 23 years of marriage, who would have thought?) and I am on a new, single mom adventure with the fabulous four. Luckily, they are adjusting to the changes well as we navigate this challenging time as a family team. Things are still in flux and hopefully at the end of all of this, the dust will settle and we will end up landing on our feet. Because of this change, I needed to go back to work and after not working for the past lo...

(SSD014) - Ear Infections and Pneumonia

I apologize for my late posting today . . . the countdown to being 40 weeks preggo continues.  This week has been crazy out of control already, and it's only Tuesday!  YIKES!   Friday night Baby E was running a fever and really congested.  We gave him tylenol/motrin, but he would not take in fluids, and I was worried about him, so I slept on he floor beside his bed (stupid thing to do at 39 weeks pregnant).  Anyway, I cried a bit, and when I woke up in the morning, I had the most intense pain in my right ear ever!  Seriously OW!   Saturday, Mic took the baby to the pediatrician, where he was diagnosed with double ear infections, and pneumonia -- he had a breathing treatment there, and an antibiotic shot . . . and his lungs were sounding much more clear when he left.  Late Saturday night his fever broke, much to our relief.   Sunday was an okay day, mostly we just all rested -- an interesting thought occurred to me while I was on th...
