Bee Movie, Paper Bows and Baby Shower Gifts

We took the kids to see Bee Movie today. It was really funny because when we walked in, we ran into some friends and their four little girls. E ended up sitting with them. The movie was a lot of fun. I laughed out loud quite a few times. Very enjoyable!!!

I finally finished crocheting a baby blanket for my friend Kristen, but I totally forgot to take a picture before I wrapped it. I seriously have been crocheting for days to get it done in time when I really should have been packing, but oh well, at least it is done now. Now I just have to get packed up. I thought the baby shower was today, but it turned out to be next weekend (oops) so I took it over early since next weekend is moving weekend. I really hope she likes it! I also made a frame to go with the blanket, it matches the the altered letters that I made with her for her new nursery. I did manage to remember to take a picture of how I wrapped it all up. I made the bow after I saw this wonderful tutorial on Splitcoaststampers. It was really easy to do and looks cool!!! I think I am going to make a bunch of them for Christmas!

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...
