My Mind is all over

Things I am thinking about:

1. How often I see Children and Young Mothers begging on the side of the road for Money. If I go and run to the supermarket, and then over to the house where we do Ministry, I will encounter at least 4 or 5 people begging at stop lights. I remember as a little girl, over by the Merle Hay Mall exit, there was always someone begging, it was odd to see. Well, times that feeling by like 100. I have seen children doing acrobats in the street for money, mothers carrying thier newborn babies and it is such a odd spectrum, because I have never seen as many BMW's in my life as well. Odd spectrum. Anyway, it is a little overwhelming at times. Thought I would share.

2. We ate out last night at a restaurant called: JOHNNY ROCKETS.. This is an American chain restaurant sort of like Applebees or Chiles, but it is a Diner, that serves American style Cheeseburgers and Shakes.. I don't think their are any in Iowa.

It was crazy, they had old Coka Cola pictures and Oldies playing. It was like I stepped into the 50's with some Latino waiters..CRAZY..

P.S. Just found out they are getting a P.F. Changs restaurant at one of the malls here. Who would have thought.

3. Andy and I are seriously thinking about calling and paying Money to a Sleep Trainer. When i say Andy and I, what I mean is I... But, since we have been thinking about it, it seems like Henry is turning a page and starting to sleep a lot better. I feel like I am a sucker parent, and it seems like all the literature out there states babies can sleep for like 12 hours a night solidly.. WELL not my baby, he likes to get up and eat, and I really think he is hungry. He eats for like over 10 minutes, so I don't know.. It is enough to make a grown woman, go Mad.. I feel like I question myself, whether or not I am doing this right or if I am seriously screwing him up.. Maybe this is Normal.?? Henry seems Happy, so I guess I should not worry that much. Right?

4. I saw... Avatar.. Thumbs Up

I saw... 500 days of Summer... Thumbs Up

5. Have you ever heard of the Mexican food Mole.. Looks like Mole, but is pronounced MOLE-AY.. Tip of the day, this is DELICIOSO.. Delicious. It Rocks, so the next time you are anywhere that serves it, go ahead and Try it.. You will enjoy it... . P.S. it has nothing to do with Moles, so don't worry, Its like a really intense seasoning thing they put in meats, like chicken, beef...

6. I am making Valentines with Henry for his grandparents and I can't wait to send them.

7. Just got done painting our bedroom, Green. And I sort of like it, just sort of. But This is the first time Andy and I have had the oppurtunity to paint our bedroom in our 4.5 years of marriage.

8. Lastly, some Henry pictures.. YEAH

Confessions

I am copying the idea from one of my friends and do a blog entitled confessions:
Pretty much the stuff going through my brain right now.

1. The dog in the house behind us, has been barking for at least 6 hours straight.. STRAIGHT...
I can't handle it anymore, and want to litterally kill it... I am not joking.

2. I feel like all the mom friends I have here in Mexico are into homemade baby food. I AM NOT. I buy the jars and it is worth every single penny of the 53 cents each jar is, to not make it my self.

3. I need a manicure and pedicure like yesterday that is how bad my hands and feet look.:)

4. I am extremely afraid of scary movies. I saw a preview for that LOVELY BONES movie, like 2 weeks ago and have been thinking about it everyday for the last 2 weeks..

5. I use way to many periods after sentences..........

6. I have done 3 loads of laundry today, and could not be happier. I have been without a washer and dryer for a week....

7. Hey I think i hear the beautiful noise of a dog barking..

8. Henry has a little cough, we went and saw the doctor and he is almost 20 pounds now.. The cough is getting better..

9. My birthday is coming up, and secretly I feel as if it should be a NATIONAL HOLIDAY.
Well, kids no school on February 16th because it is CHELSEA'S birthday... YEAH

10. I have been eating Nutella out of the jar with a spoon, because I am to lazy to make any dessert.. It is so yummy..

11. In our new house, the oven has no number settings on it.. It just says, in this order; BAKE, and then MEDIUM????? What ever that means, I have no clue..

12. I want to get Laser Eye Surgery, I am not a fan of contacts.

13. The dog is STILL BARKING.. I am off to kill it..:)

Untill later..

Whirlwind of a Holiday

Well, it has been ages since I posted anything for all my buds out there. And since, my mom so delicately tells me to post another blog, just because she wants to see Henry fotos.... :)
So here you go,
In the last month:
We visited 3 states: ILLINOIS, IOWA, FLORIDA.. All 3 were cold..
We visited Santa
We saw tons of Family
We ate Tasty Tacos. Jimmy Johns, Palmers Deli, Hy-Vee, Granite City, Copper Canyon Grill, The Cheesecake Factory, Taco Johns and tons of Mountain Dew... All things they do not have in Mexico.. BELIEVE IT OR NOT....
We celebrated Birthdays: Aunt Katie's, and ANDY'S.... Both celebrated in style, I might add.
We found out how much Henry loves other babies.. It is so cute, he just loves hanging with friends his age.
We put Henry in DayCare for the first time, when we had to go to a Conference in Freezing Orlando.. It was sad, but he did good.
We moved houses. :( It was sad to leave Henry's first and only home, but we are all moved in and things are good..
WE Celebrated Christmas, and New Years. And we are so blessed by the Lord to have him in our lives. And so thankful that the Lord gave us Henry .. It made Christmas a lot more Fun this year..
So here are some pictures to prove all I wrote is true!
