Couple of notes regarding recent events in the Heesch life:
- Dori (our dog) is not pregnant. We tried to breed her with our uncle's dog, but apparently it didn't take. We'll planning to try again in a few months. Anyone have any good suggestions for how to get a dog pregnant?
- Jilleen is back. Jared's cousin lives with us for the school year. This year she'll have a nice new bedroom and bathroom in the basement all to herself. We actually love having her around and are glad she's come back home to us!
- Had our girls for respite again this week. Generally we do respite foster care for twin 15 month old girls once a month. They are always fun, but it's gets a little crazy having three babies around! Had plenty of adventures with them including a group bath with Jaden after a spaghetti fiasco and a family reunion that we dragged them to.
- Jaden is now our "White Trash Baby". Jared's grandmother bought him some wife beaters at a garage sale, so now he's really living it up.
- We started giving plasma at the suggestion of my dear brother. Just an easy way to earn a little extra cash. And not too painful.
- Last weekend we were on a houseboat with my family. Had a great time, and found out that we're not seamen by nature. We actually had a slight mishap and lost one of our anchors. Really bothered Dad, but didn't really affect anything. It was a great time, but we're glad to be home for a little while. Seems like we've been gone every weekend this summer!
- Joel and Mark (my brothers) are now all gone. Mark went back to college in MN and Joel moved to Sheboygan permanently. It's kind of sad without them. They really are my best friends and I miss them dearly.
Well, that's all I can think of for now. This week I am going to try and post some more insightful things other than boring news. But right now my brain is complete mush after caring for three small children all weekend. I think I'm going to head to bed. Yep, that's right 9:00 and bed. Man, I'm getting old!
I miss being able to give plasma. I liked the 45 minutes of total me time, and the extra money. But I had a "reaction" three times and they made me quit.
ReplyDeleteBasically, my blood pressure dropped and would almost pass out. I did everything right, I just couldn't handle it. I'm a plasma donor failure.
