Guardian Angels

Angels were definitely guarding over my little sugarCane a couple of days ago. During naptime I layed him in his crib still a little awake. I heard him fussing in his room and was waiting on him to fall asleep. For some reason when he is in there fussing, I can't do anything but sit and listen for him to go to sleep. I was going to give him five more minutes to see if he would drift off on his own and then go in to get him, but he got quiet. Normally, I would assume that he had fell asleep, but today I felt urged to go in and check on him.

He was sitting on TOP of his dresser that was beside the crib! This dresser is at least 5 ft. tall!! I gasped and rushed over to pull him down to safety. Usually when he is up to no good and I come toward him, he giggles and tries to get away (He loves to be chased), but today he just smiled and sat perfectly still until I reached him.

Oh, the things that could have happened.

1. I had a stack of clothes on top of it that needed to be stored away that he had knocked into the floor. Thank goodness he didn't slip off with them.

2. He sleeps with a fan on that was sitting on top of his dresser. He had it overturned and could have stuck his little fingers in it.

3. This dresser is in front of a window. He could have tumbled that direction or got tangled in the blinds.

Let's just say there could have been a number of catastrophes.

Needless to say, that dresser is now placed clear across the room, nowhere near his crib, and his crib mattress has been lowered as low as it will go.

I truly believe that God had him surrounded with guardian angels and that He was the "urge" that I had to go in and check on him.

Pumpkin Patch USA

This year we visited a real pumpkin patch with fields of them just waiting to be picked. It was such a fun adventure. We all had a really good time. Last year it was just Levi, Jeffery and myself, but this year little brother was old enough to come with us and so did Michi and Papa. They had just got in the night before from their getaway in Vegas, so the boys were very excited to have them come with us.

We took a hayride out to the patch.



Jeffery picked his out the first minute we were out there so he decided to have a seat.

Cane was going crazy jabbering to all the pumpkins and trying to pick them up.

More pics to come but I must share computer time for now.

I Have A Gripe

Me, griping, NO, I try not to, but I am frustrated and deserve a good gripe. So here goes, I must warn you it is very trivial. I really wanted to start this blogging business, but have not done very much at all with it. Not because I haven't tried mind you. I have spent precious time trying to figure out how to get a cute little background and theme, but can't figure it all out. Plus the lingo on blogging is a bit confusing at times. It didn't take this much effort to make a pretty myspace page and thank goodness facebook doesn't require backgrounds and frills. Plus, I have seen where people pay good money to customize blog backgrounds, I don't understand, I guess unless it is your businesses blog.

Now, the reason I am so frustrated is because I would like to get my blogging underway, and only have few chances in a day (when kids go to bed and husband is not on the computer playing his cursed World of Warcraft)to accomplish this. So, instead of searching aimlessly on how to beautify my page, I would rather be typing.

One more thing that doesn't pertain to this specific gripe. I keep two other handwritten journals, one for Jeff and one for Cane, so most of the time I don't write stories on here because it would be so redundant since I have already written them elsewhere. I would do a couples journal for my life with Levi but feel that would be too personal for me to do. My thoughts now are what are some things I could continually write on here that I don't in my other journals. Ideas are welcome.

While I am at it, I forgot how mad I get when trying to upload pictures on here as well. It only lets me do one at a time and is slow to boot. Or am I just doing it wrong. I am probably my own worst enemy here.
