Wedding

Mom get married Friday! We welcome Ted Knighton to the family.

I didn't get many pictures at the wedding; I hope someone will share.

I only got one of Mom and Ted. it's not a great pic, but its what I have.


The ceremony was really nice. they really did look happy, just not in the picture. I managed not to cry, but only because I was holding Ivy, who was grinning away at me.

Kezie had a great time with Ted's granddaughter, Emma. She hasn't stopped talking about her; she says Emma is her best friend. Since they're stepcousins now, they'll probably run into each other again.

It's very weird that Mom is now Pam Knighton, and lives somewhere else, but it's a good weird. They came to visit today. Ted helped Shawn fix the curtain rod I bought today. I thought I was going to have to take it back. He's handy to have around. I guess we'll let Mom keep him!

The mind of a two year old, part 3

Shawn said today, "I have a thought."

Kezie tried to copy him. Her Ts often get left off the end of her words.
"You are a so."

He tried again, "I have a thought."

"You are a so."


He corrected her, "A thought."

"A so."

"I have a thought."

"You are an aso."

Of course she didn't know what she said, but it was so funny we cracked up. Poor kid; she had no idea how she sounded.

So let's review.

This was Ivy less than five months ago







This is Ivy now


Holy cow

My poor, sick girls

Both girls are sick. Poor Kezie just stares into space and looks miserable. Ivy is unbelievably happy, for a sick baby. She coughs and sniffles and then smiles. It's really her first illness and she is handling it well.


The sickbedPoor Kez doesn't even want to watch a movie, and she's having trouble keeping anything down. A temp of 102. Poor kid.

No phone

My phone doesn't work. If you need to reach me, send an email and I'll give you Shawn's number. If T-Mobile will cooperate, I will have a phone by the weekend.

Our friend Lilo

Kezie's imaginary friend Lilo appears to have moved in full time. This is Lilo from the movie Lilo and Stitch. Lilo comes with us to the store, and is buckled in the front seat of the car. She is then lifted from the car (by me) and buckled in the shopping cart or stroller (by Kezie). Lilo wasn't feeling well when we took Ivy to the doctor the other day, she she got shots, too. Kezie even walked over to the exam table while the nurse was measuring Ivy and sat Lilo down next to her.

Lilo has her own plate at the table. She has to share Kezie's food, but usually has her own utensils, too. Lilo doesn't seem to talk at all, and doesn't play with Kezie much. Mostly, she is just there for company, I think. She seems quite real to Kezie, which is normal for an imaginary friend. This is pretty cute; we'll see how long it lasts.

Ivy update

Thirteen pounds and healthy. She is more than six times her birthweight!

She's rolling over both ways, trying to grab food off our plates, and getting cuter by the day.

She also loves her big sister.

Ivy doing her new trick and Kezie striking a pose

Went to Costco for the first time last night.

*shudder*

I've changed my mind. That is what hell will look like.

A little cash

My fellow frugalistas:

Epinions.com is paying for reviews this month. They pay up to a dollar fifty per review, and you can write more than one. Anyone can review, and there are all kids of things to review: books, movies, electronics, cars, baby stuff... They do things like this often, so even if you don't want to review anything now, check back next month.

I've reviewed probably forty products in the last few years and made more than fifty bucks doing it. It's a way to earn a little bit of unexpected cash. Each review has to be at least two hundred words, and a staff member has to decide that it is a helpful review. The complete rules are on the website.

Just thought I'd pass it along in case anyone is interested
