Founders Day - LIFEHOUSE Show

One cool thing about my little town, is that every year they have a Founders Day celebration at the local park (which also happens to only be about a block away from my house). Last year they had "The Gin Blossoms" do a show and this year, they rocked with their band choice yet again and got "Lifehouse." I was seriously SO excited because this is a free concert in the park and you can totally get close to the stage and take great pictures and hear and feel being at a concert. I love it! It takes me back to the old kid free days! Anyway, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so here are some memories we made at Founders Day!


E's hair (I learned how to do this on this coolest website)
I tied purple ribbons at the bottom and got complimented on how cool it was

How cool is that! I love E's hair. I hope I get a girl eventually so I can do neat things with her hair! Remind me of that website a few years down the road! ;) What an awesome day!

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...
