Update

I haven't posted for a long time! We have been very busy with mostly nothing! It has taken me longer to recover from this baby than the other two. I have decided that it is because I am now 30 years old. I am not sure how this happened, but it has. My body is taking longer to respond to everything! I celebrated my 30th birthday on March 5. Len let me pick out a new snowboard for my birthday to go with my new bindings. We went shopping about a week ago and I bought a K2 snowboard that is white with purple and pink swirls. I love it! I would love to use it this year but the season is ending soon and I don't know if I will make it. I am still recovering and not sure I will be up to boarding before the hills close. I am hoping!

Miranda was born four weeks ago. Today she is one month old. I still cannot fit into my regular clothes and I am still sore all over. We are driving to Coeur d'Alene this weekend and as much as I am looking forward to visiting, I am not looking forward to the long car ride of SITTING!! The kids are very excited and every day they pack a bag of toys that they are planning to take with them. They usually unpack it the same day because they start playing with the toys but it gives them something to do the next day! I have misplaced my camera. I plan to clean house today and start laundry for the trip so maybe it will show up and I can take a picture of Miranda for her one month birthday. She is a sweet baby. She loves to be held but sleeps pretty good at night in a cradle in our room. Last night we went to bed at 11:00, she woke up at 3:00 to eat, and then slept until 7:00. It could be worse. She has been going through some sort of growing spurt and often wants to eat every hour. She loves her pacifier unless she is hungry and she can throw a pretty good scream out there if she is not happy. She still has a ton of hair all over her head and usually it is sticking up in several directions. She is starting to smile but you have to really fight her for one -- they come most often in the morning. She has a scowl that she uses most of the time when she is awake. She loves her baby swing and will stay awake for awhile looking around before she is overcome and falls asleep. She is very cuddly still and fun to hold because she snuggles up so easily. The other kids are still infatuated with her. They love to hold her and I have to remind Kanyon that he cannot lay on her very frequently. I will post pictures this week sometime so you can see her. She is still very little. I would guess she is now about nine -ten pounds. We are enjoying our new addition. More to come....
