Hello!
I finally made some time to blab a little on this blog, but wouldn’t you know it, WordPress just “updated” their system, and now I can’t figure out how to add pictures to my posts.
So instead I’ll just share some random thoughts.
We are adjusting to life with 4 children. My head is often spinning, but I haven’t really had any “bad” days, at least not yet. We went on our first outing today, to a new friends house. As I was walking out the door, I remembered to throw an extra baby outfit into the diaper bag, in case of a diaper blow-out, and I thought to myself something along the lines of, “way to go, mom. You’re finally getting the hang of this motherhood thing.” And then shortly after we got to the home, something happened to me that has never happened before: there was an immense diaper blow out, all over MY clothes! I was holding her when she pooped, and it went straight out her little onesie and onto me. Sheesh.
In other news, we are the proud babysitters of a FERRET. We get to keep her for about 3 weeks while her owner is traveling. (Apparently my husband thought that having 2 kids in diapers was not enough poop for me to deal with already!) Because none of us knew anything about ferrets, we have been reading up on the web and checking out books from the library about this strange animal. Did you know that female ferrets are called jills? Really! They are not rodents, they are mustelids, along with otters, skunks, and weasels. They are very difficult to photograph because they don’t sit still, but when I figure out how, I’ll share some pics of this one. If we like her, we get to keep her. The owner would be more than happy to find a new home for her! We’ll see…
And finally for now, we ask prayers and thoughts for my brother-in-law, who is leaving this week on a 4-month deployment. (Not to the Middle East.) It will be his first deployment. Safe travels!
