Girl Scout Troop 2233 Service Project for Haiti

Hi Everyone, As I'm sure all of you are aware, there has been a great deal of loss in the country of Haiti. When I met with my Girl Scouts on Tuesday night, I asked them if they were aware of the earthquake that had occured and if they would like to do something to help. Immediately, every hand went up. Before I had a chance to offer the suggestions to the girls that I had, they started pouring out ideas of different ways we could help. It ranged from making blankets, donating all of our cookie money they are currently trying to earn, sending clothing and so forth. We have decided upon two organizations that we would like to help. The first is Healing Hands for Haiti and the other is Soles 4 Souls. Healing Hands main focus in the past has been to help those who have disabilities obtain prosthetics and the rehabilitation they need. Soles 4 Souls collects new or gently used shoes to send to those in need. I know that most of you have recently assisted my son Adam with hi

Baby Caleb

Again, hard to believe little Caleb is now 2 1/2 months old. I'm officially off maternity leave and trying to readjust. Caleb is starting to develop his little personality, during the week of Christmas he started laughing and smiling. Mommy also found out that he is ticklish under his arms. He's now sleeping about 4-5 hrs during the night which is soooooo nice. Dr Bean ok'd us to go ahead and give him cereal before bed so that it would help him sleep. I've never loved baby rice so much before. At first I joked that he was like a little clock. He was awake every 3 hrs on the button. Caleb also weighed in at 13 lbs 2 oz during his 2 month check-up. A whopping 5 lb gain. He seems like such a happy little guy. During his 2 month check-up we were told that we should go see a specialist. We (the dr and us) had noticed during his 2 week checkup that he had a small ridge in the middle of his forehead. We had hoped that over a course of time it would start to expand

I can't believe it is already 2010!!! I also can't believe it's been 2 months since I last added anything to my poor little blog. For Christmas, we get together with as many from our 3 families as possible. We have Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Rich's, Christmas Day with Grandma and Grandpa Price and then we squeeze in my two sisters either Christmas night or the next day. I am so grateful that they are pretty flexible :) Anyway, one of our traditions is to exchange Christmas treats among families each year. One of the treats we received this year was a snowman kit. It was so awesome!! The kids loved it. It snowed a few days ago so on New Years Day, Zoe Emma and Seth decided that they would build a snowman. While they were doing it, you could occasionally hear one of the girls singing the song. Seth also had his little tongue out trying to catch snowflakes and mommy was peeking out the front window to see how cute they all were. I couldn't resist g
