...and I cried like a baby when they left.
It is a great picture Dad. I wish you were in it too.

Another List
1. I like lists. I have notebooks filled with them. I happen to really like posting in lists lately. So neat and organized and structured. Makes me feel like I'm structured. Ha!
2. I give myself a big, fat F for exercise this week.
3. I drank my first cup of coffee this morning in weeks (months?). Delicious. I've got my inner happiness/ calm/ peace back just like that. Though Tazo's Wild Sweet Orange tea was getting me awfully close to my inner-yogi.
4. I'm feeling fine. My belly hurts sometimes--round ligament sort of achy-pain. I am sometimes sitting and reading books to the kids and I start to feel contractions. I don't remember contractions this early with the other pregnancies, but I'm sure it is normal. Who knows? I'm getting older, its my fifth pregnancy, my uterus is tired and knows it needs to start whipping itself into shape starting immediately? I'll ask at my next appointment for sure.
5. We had the most awesome dinner tonight. Chicken Gyros. I made the chicken as the recipe suggests. I mostly followed the recipe for the tzatziki sauce. I didn't strain the yogurt and I omitted the cucumbers and served them sliced on the side instead. Other toppings included red onions, tomatoes, feta cheese, pepperoncini, kalamata olives, shredded lettuce and sliced bell peppers. Really delicious. We were all licking our plates--Gus literally did.
6. I tried to pickle my own pepperoncini this past summer. We love to eat them! The final product tasted good, but the seeds inside were all black and gross, instead of white and firm. I'd like to try again this next summer, but I should probably wait a year. I am going to be pretty busy around harvest time. If you have thoughts about canning these peppers, I'd love to hear them!
7. I am reading the My Father's Dragon trilogy to Gus and Isabel. Really, really adorable and a great chapter book for little kids because it has pictures. We all love it.
8. I just finished reading A Wrinkle in Time to Claire and Lily tonight. It was every bit as magical and amazing as I remember. It was my favorite book for a long time when I was a girl. Such a good adventure! I cried at the end. The girls think I am a sap. I kissed them and hugged them tight and sent them off to bed.
