http://foedefamily.com/familyblog Foede Blog Mon, 02 Aug 2010 17:28:54 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Our sweet little daughter was born on July 20th, 2010.  It's hard to believe that tomorrow she will be two weeks old.  How is it that the two weeks after delivery is so much faster than the two weeks prior to it?  I do have my last letters to her ... http://foedefamily.com/familyblog/?p=288 I have a small window that I ideally would like to have the baby.  After MY birthday (I don't mind sharing, but didn't want it to have to) but before Zach leaves for camp on Monday AM.  That gives me the next 6 days to get this baby out.  If ... http://foedefamily.com/familyblog/?p=287 Because I'm really bad about doing that! Things are moving along here.  We hosted a birthday party for Reese/Father's Day get-together on June 20th.  Reese is all about Tianna from Disney's Princess and the Frog.  It's actually adorable!  But not so much when it comes to finding gifts for the birthday ... http://foedefamily.com/familyblog/?p=286 I have always thought of myself as a cheap person.  I don't mind hand-me-downs to wear.  Shop proudly at garage sales and consignment stores.  Ebay is my friend! But I've realized lately that I do have this amazing gift of picking out the most expensive item on a page to like ... http://foedefamily.com/familyblog/?p=285 With every child I write letters telling him/her how I feel whilst I am pregnant.  This baby has been no exception.  Usually I change the format from "We saw you on the ultrasound" to "We saw the baby on the ultrasound" and then make a page.  But I am feeling ... http://foedefamily.com/familyblog/?p=284 What an odd turn of events!  MN has not seen snow since mid-February, and yet here it is May 7th-8th and we have a snow storm!  True, nothing is likely to accumulate, and yet it is quite odd to see happening. Mark and I have been taking a Marriage class through ... http://foedefamily.com/familyblog/?p=283 April is over, and thus ends birthday month.  The cake, the presents, the parties.  I am SO glad it's over, even though I know for little kids they think "a whole 'nother year!  I can't wait that long!" Which amazes me, since frankly I find the birthdays coming altogether too ... http://foedefamily.com/familyblog/?p=282 I've been MIA for over 2 months!  I did finally get the cruise blogs up.  Forgive spelling/grammar errors, or any cases of TMI.  I posted by just copying and pasting, and not re-reading. ;-) So today marks my entry into my third trimester.  I don't think I ever actually announced that ... http://foedefamily.com/familyblog/?p=281 I just love the Olympics.  For two weeks, though, Mark has to decided "do I want to watch figure skating so I can hang out with Jen, or would I rather not see her for a couple of weeks?"  (He thought the pairs program as great, and we were happy ... http://foedefamily.com/familyblog/?p=266 We woke up to snow. And lots of it. Zach was worried. Tonight is his super-awesome winter concert. The one where they get to use special effects. They are playing a song from Batman Dark Knight and the lights will be off and movie clips ... http://foedefamily.com/familyblog/?p=265
