Rachel, I somehow missed your comment and just read it today. I know exactly what you mean and feel the same way. It is much easier to not have questions.

Thank you so much for your kinds words Karen. I admire Brett's ability to be open and honest on his blog and put himself out there. That is something I don't always have an easy time with. There have been a lot of challenges and also a lot of support and love in many unexpected places and ways. It is a good reminder to me to keep those people in our lives close!

Thank you Aubree! I love you too. I love your openness and kindness and acceptance to people from all walks of life. You are an example to me!

Re: How to get the perfect soft curls, plus my FAVORITE hair products!

I love your big soft curls. I will have to get a big curling iron and see if it would work on my hair. My hair has become curlier and curlier with every baby so it is harder to tame than it used to be!

Meag, Brett took a tight corner and used his thumb to right himself and overextended it. Maybe we are just too old for rollerblading!

Shellie, I may have worried a few in-laws and ward members with this post so I should admit it was a bit tongue-in-cheek. Your ears are still safe around me. But I DO swear much more in my head than I do out loud so it got me thinking about it after I let loose this week (surprising even myself) and I wondered if it would keep my mind a little more G rated if I just let one slide once in awhile. It was worth pondering anyways.

Lol, hanging pictures on the wall with nail polish...that is one I haven't heard before!

Natasha, whenever Brett runs errands I always ask him to take Kai and he almost always does. THAT is the biggest help I could ask for at this point!

Mike, I will just hope he will be the kind of teenager that will sleep in on weekends! Only weekends though. I don't want to fight every morning to get him to school. :)

It does work! I was a little surprised when it did, but the kids were very happy!

Corrie, this has actually turned into a table-top machine too. Anna decided to drape her body across it and the weight on it broke a piece off of the pedestal. I guess we found the weak spot! It works out a lot better for us this way as we can put it up out of reach of the two year old.

I made these this week and I sliced up a banana and sprinkled chopped walnuts on mine before pouring on the syrup and it was SO delicious!

Yes War, you did introduce me to Asterix. I had forgotten! Brett also brought a whole bunch of German Asterix comics home from his mission, but of course, they are in German and I can't read them. I think my kids would love looking at some. They would be fun to look at next time we come up.

Thank you Cindy, I have been soft too many times too and I am trying to be more consistent. It is not fun, but I know it needs to be done.

Keli, I have wondered sometimes with Luca if she tries so hard everywhere she goes and she just needs to let it out the steam at home. She is so happy and upbeat and well behaved in public and then she comes home and lets her grumbles out. I have decided I would much rather deal with it at home! I don't know if that is the same kind of thing you are dealing with, but maybe?

That is hilarious! I love how they love to mimic the nurturing of a baby. All my kids have nursed their dolls or stuffed animals at some point.

Meag, the kids all love the buttons! They will play with them for hours.

Thank you Trisha (wishy) that is a very kind thing for you to say.
