St. Baldricks..and the bald boys!

The Before shot!!

Here you have it..the Eamonn guys bald! Yes, they buzzed off there hair all in good cause. About a month ago Jody decided to join the fight for Children with Cancer. St. Baldricks is a foundation that fund raises for money to be spent on Children's Cancer Research. I think it got Jody close to home, the thought of one of our kids..or for that matter any child going through cancer. Cedar also was excited to make MONEY for a cause!! So they ended up with about 1,000.00 together!! A big thank you to all who donated..and if you still want to doante DO IT HERE! There was an event held in Estes Park, food, Irish dancing, and 40 participants who all bravely cut for locks of live, shaved for St.baldricks and celebrated a common bond..doing for others.

Is there really such thing as a Well baby check-up?

So it has come to my attention that for most families it is IMPORTANT to go to the well baby check ups at the doc. Or is it??? Funny, because yes I too scheduled, drove, sat amongst sick children, waited some more, all to visit Cedars doctor, when he was a new born until 2 yrs of age. We waited all these times for the Dr. to tell us he was healthy, aka weighed something, looked happy and healthy and acted appropriately for his age. And then it dawned on me Truth has been to one check-up. She went to her 1 week..and ever since she has been well! Now don't get me wrong from time to time I wonder should I go? And then I think why go well and come out sick??? So I am going with my gut..on that one..but the questions keep coming, how big is she, how tall is she, is she average???? So the other day while at the Local Root Co-op I decided what better place to weigh her in. Amongst all organic produce, and health consciences people she got the 10 month weigh in,,,,and the answer is 17.5 lbs!! She is happy, healthy, growing, changing, all with organic food, breast milk, and love!

Cedar shows of his dance costume!!

Truthy 9 months and counting

Yes it is true..Truth is 9 months going on 10. UGH, unbelievable I keep telling myself..and with her 9 month has brought 1 tooth, numerous nights of unpredictable sleeping patterns (poor little girl), a fast army crawl, a silly face (squinting the eyes, scrunching up her nose and grinning!), lots of noises, clapping, signing the word more, eating EVERYTHING she can feed herself, and everything she finds on the floor....and smiling smiling smiling her days away!!!!!!

Are you kidding me!!

Another day in the coop. Another day of lots of chickens peeping away. Another day of waiting on an egg! We are getting excited for spring which will mean EGGS EGGS EGGS<,, and there it was..the TINY EGG!! We have 6 1 yr old chicken and this means one of those ladies has been holding out!! we have been feeding and assuming they all lay from time to time..but apparently this one just started....ridiculously small!!! But we ate it!
