So I started writing this last night on my phone in bed, but fell asleep. I do that quite often either trying to write a post, facebooking, playing words with friends or reading and my phone hits me in the face. Travis thinks it's hilarious. Many times he's come to bed and taken the phone from me after I've fallen asleep.
So, catching up! Here goes:
It was a busy week last week. Monday city council approved to move forward with the marketing project which was an accomplishment after months of work. Wednesday morning early Ashley took Saige to the doc in Pratt because she was really sick. Then ended up flying them to Kansas City and they were there until yesterday. She had a bad infection. Ashley is my hero, that is all.
Thursday I took Tru back to the doctor to have his ears checked. After 2 rounds of antibiotics they were clear. Truman is now toddling everywhere. Over the weekend he started standing up in the middle of the floor with out having anything to pull up on.
Mom came over the other night for supper since dad was in KC with Ashley. Afterwards, she cut Amelia's bangs. When she finished, Amelia went and got her bears and gave them a haircut. It's amazing how quick she is learning and pick things up. We really have to mind our p's and q's, however, I am pretty sure she says shit. Wonder where she picked that up?
Tonight was spaghetti night, a favorite in our house. The kids do it topless then went right into the tub after dinner.
I finally started sewing together quilt blocks that I bought when I was pregnant with Amelia. I meant to do something with them before she was born, but didn't. I am not very good at precision, it hurts my brain, so we'll see how this blanket turns out. It's been really cold this week, so I haven't felt like throwing pots in the cold garage. Tomorrow is Valentines Day. I spent the evening making out the cards for the kids party at daycare. I am not sure if a 1 and 2 year old care about Valentines Day, but they'll get some good sweets I am sure.

Oh My Goodness...
Amelia's new phrase is "Oh My Goodness." She kept saying it over and over tonight. It was so cute and funny. Truman is really taking off walking. He will walk across the room and is holding and carrying stuff with him.
It was a busy week last week. Friday night was pizza night at mom and dad's, Ray and Pat were there too. Saturday was Trav's birthday. I made him blueberry pancakes and what he said were the best eggs ever for breakfast. We spent a nice morning in our jammies, and just hung out at home until about 3. Then we went our to Ray and Pat's for fish and steak for Trav's birthday dinner. Today was church, then just spent the rest of the day at home. I put together a to-do list after church of things I want to get accomplished. I spent several hours this afternoon cleaning and organizing (again) in the garage in an attempt to get ready to start making ceramics. After several people asking me last week if I had anything or was making anything, I am started to feel motivated to get going again. Hopefully it will last and it won't just be that I throw a few things, then they dry out totally before I get them finished and then I wait another 6 months. I am really going to try and stay at it this time, we'll see how it goes.

First Basketball Game

Tonight was a home basketball game and Travis was covering it for the media center. I decided to take the kids for awhile. First I checked to see if Steph would be there to help wrangle. Amelia had a good time and Truman fell asleep with Stephanie then Mallorie held him.

A Moment
In just a moment, your life changes. Today I remember you and the moment you were here and then not.

Amelia's Birthday Party
Today was Amelia's 2nd birthday party. Mom and Dad, Ray and Pat, Ashley and the kids, Stephanie, and the Porter's were here. I made pink flamingo cupcakes and Ray made ice cream. It was a fun day with the cousins.

Today is Amelia's 2nd birthday. What a big girl. I couldn't get her to sit still enough to get a non blurry photo. Or maybe its just my phone camera. I love her. Period.

Kris
Today was the funeral of my classmate. All the usual things someone would say in the circumstance just don't do it justice. Gone to soon, rest in peace, in a better place. All those just seem so cliche. I don't have any specific memories of him, but I remember him as a 2nd or 3rd grade kid with a cute smile. Several from our class were there, a couple I hadn't seen in a very long time. I hope its a long time before we get together again for this reason.
I cannot even begin to fathom the loss of a child, especially in this way. Now being a parent, I just want to shield them from every hurt in the world, but I know that is impossible.
