Five for Friday
Thursday, August 7, 2008 at 11:53PM Feeling random...
1. Yes, I promised pictures of those vacation album layouts. I'm working on it. Have them all photographed but haven't finished cropping and all that as of yet. In the meantime, I did manage to help the boys finish (mostly) their own little vacation albums. They've been so cute reliving it all with each other. :)
2. I have a confession. I have a Facebook account but no real idea how to use it. A friend, ahem, "made" me join, LOL, and I've actually enjoyed reconnecting with old friends who've found me through this. But. I haven't added anything to that profile...I kinda figure that's what this blog is for and have this address there. So, when people leave me messages on my "wall" (I think that's what it's called) I'm not sure what the proper etiquette is...do I reply on that person's wall?...do I email them?...do I reply on my own wall? Seriously. Comments welcome!
3. I've not been posting as regularly here lately...sorry. Nothing in particular going on...just lots of little stuff trying to get life in order and all. ;) Today, for example, I've been going through the boys' toys and sorting stuff to take to the local gently used store. Amazing how many toys these boys have accumulated (and I purge fairly often)...a LOT of it is simply that the things they do like tend to have many pieces and they tend to collect things (yes, I'm sure they get that from me). So. Lots and lots of cars and legos and k'nex, not to mention books and games. Oy. Anyhow, purging...feels good.
4. Asher and Micah had well checks this week...both healthy as usual. (And no shots Yay!) Ash finally broke the 40 pound mark (he's six) which is frankly amazing considering how picky an eater the kid is and always has been. He's still only in the 5th percentile for height (yeah, he's totally gonna blame that on me when he gets older, lol) but finally made it past the 5th percentile in weight, so that's good. Micah, on the other hand, still has no issues with weight. He's at more than 34 pounds now (just turned three, so that's about the 70th percentile)...something his brothers didn't manage until they were five. Honest.
5. And, last but definitely not least, a very happy (slightly belated) birthday to my awesome mother-in-law!! (Her birthday was yesterday...August 7...though it's just past the midnight mark here, it's technically still the 7th there.) We're so looking forward to your visit in a few weeks and have your gift and card ready to give you in person. :)
Okay. That's five so I'll stop. Hopefully I'll have those layouts (likely just a sampling of them) ready soon!

Thanks for the birthday greetings! Yesterday was a pretty tough day at work, although I got many cards and flowers from staff. It's nice to be remembered, especially when other things aren't going so well. :)
Welcome to the world of Facebook! I got addicted for a while during my last year of college (All of 3 years ago!) and now just use it to keep up with people...
Just to answer your question about writing on "Walls" - Yes, when someone writes on your wall usually the best option is to reply on THEIR wall...(Most people just like having messages on their wall!) But if you need to reply with personal or detailed info you can send them a message!
Have fun finding your way around! (And just my humble opinion, (many will disagree!) but I like Facebook better than MySpace)
Oh, my son has been on the 5th percentile on both weight and height at every yearly check up. My son eats like a horse and is very active. I think it's just in his genes that he's so skinny. I had to deal with his doctor about this since he was 2 years old. He's four years old now but can pass for a 2 years old - he barely weighs 30 pounds and is not as tall as most four years old. The doctor finally let it go after he asks how tall we are (his parents). I'm 4'10" and my husband is 5'2". I used to dread the weigh in for him because at first he wanted me to see nutritionist for him but when I tried to make an appointment, they couldn't get one for like 3 months so I never made the appointment because I thought the whole thing was pointless since my son eats and is very active. I don't know why some doctors don't get that some kids cannot weigh and be as tall as all the other kids. I'm just glad that his problem is not being overweight which I know is a big issue still.
