So I've been getting antsy for kid #4 lately.
I've been saying I'm done birthing babies ever since Brennan was born. This whole raw food thing has got me wondering if it would be substantially different with this sort of food. I'm curious. Dave doesn't think it would be a good idea to experiment. :)
So now would be the perfect time to pursue our LIberian kiddo dream - except for the whole Liberia-has-closed-all-adoptions-for-awhile problem. *Sigh*. I'm not sure how long that will last - it's already been several months. I'm not really sure how many. But several for sure. I wonder if we could get the ball rolling with all the paperwork and classes that need to be done. I should call.

I've gotten bored with food lately. I have no interest in it. I think I need to start trying some of the recipes in my books. And making green juices again. I haven't done that in a while and I'm finding I'm sick of being a fruititarian. I've been having bites of the kids food - trying cheese (YUCK!) and bread (not my favorite) and eggs (eh) and chocolate chips (yummm). I made some vegetarian chili and that was good, but ate it with tortilla chips and got a MAJOR headache. It was weird to have a warm belly. I'm not sure I like that feeling.
BUT! I do love the fact that I've lost 12(ish) pounds and am wearing skirts and dresses and pants I haven't seen in a loooong time again.
I think I need to start up on the 'superfoods' cause I've go this cold that has stuck with me for long enough now. I'm sick of it.

School has been fun lately - I've been writing stories for Ellen to read and then creating math worksheets and writing prompts from them. It's pretty fun. We've still been taking it kinda easy but I think its about time for a field trip. Maybe today.
Ellen started a blog. She loooooooves it and asks if we can check for comments almost constantly. I've added it onto her list of things to do for school so she's been updating it regularly.
Now she wants to learn to sew. On the sewing machine. I'm a little nervous for little fingers being sewn into the project, but I've told her we can try it today during Brennan's nap. I think as long as I take charge of the pedal we'll be all right.

Brennan seems to be growing up - he's playing more games, saying more words and just looking like a kid instead of a baby. I think it has something to do with the jeans I keep putting him in - he just looks older. Dave thinks its his new Lightning McQueen shoes. The first day he got them he ran up and down the hall in them saying "Vroom! vaaarrooom! vroom!"
