It's Begun

That is my two weeks of misery. David just left for work. He left just now and he will be back next Monday. Then Tuesday he leaves again and will be back Wednesday morning. His flight lands Wednesday at 5 a.m and then he has another trip at 11 a.m and won't be back until Sunday. So if I even get to see him on Wednesday it will be just for him to grab his bags and then leave again. Then I believe he has another trip on Monday. I'm not sure how long that one is. On the bright side that'll be his last trip for a while because of our move. I am just not looking forward to these next two weeks. I was hoping to go to Washington with him but flights were too expensive. Then I was hoping my parents could come out over Labor Day but they need new passports :( So if anyone wants to come visit me. The only thing I can do is to try and stay positive. That'll help get me through the week as well.

I was telling David that we were going to be really bored while he is gone. Kids have all started back to school and so there is no one left on the Seidlung all day. The weather has been nice for the past 4 days. I am hoping it'll stay this way so I can keep my sanity. Anyways, this morning before he left he made me a schedule. It was too cute. He went through hour by hour and wrote us a schedule including naps, meals, playtime and even time for me to clean and do laundry. How thoughtful of him to do so. We have a few things on the 30th for moving. We have a preinspection of the apartment at 8:30 a.m and then a prepack out at 10:30. Some ladies on the ward are going to the temple at 10 and I was going to go but I guess I can't. Then they are having lunch afterwards but David took the navigation system and it is so confusing out here to drive without one. Pretty much every car has one. Even the Germans do.

I feel so bad for Kameron. He now has chapped skin under his chin in the creases of his neck. It is so raw and red. Poor little guy. We have been putting creams on it but it looks like it hurts. He is getting so big. He is finally starting to play with a few toys now. He still isn't a fan of his saucer. Enjoy your week everybody.

Don't you just love his spikey hair. He's all ready for church.

Long week

This has been such a long week and it is only Thursday. David was home Monday and Tuesday and left Wednesday morning which happened to be my birthday. Yup, I am 23 now. I am getting so old. Since David was going to be gone on my birthday we celebrated it on Tuesday. We had a good day. David made me french toast in the morning and then I opened up my presents. I got some money from the kids, a gift certificate to the Spa. I am going to get a deep tissue massage, pedicure and manicure. I also got a new watch, 3 DVD's, 2 CD's, a matching necklace, earrings, and bracelet from Swarovski, a book, some knee wraps, and a few other things. I really got spoiled.

This birthday was probably the worst so far. Kameron is colic and was up at 2 a.m. to eat and was kinda fussy. Then he went to sleep and woke up again at 5:30 a.m. and cried until 7:30 when he finally passed out. Then McKaila woke up. Once again Kameron woke up and was colic. he cried a good part of the day. My friend, Misti, brought over flowers for my birthday. I was so touched that I cried. That is exactly what I needed. McKaila later had some lunch and went down for a nap at the same time as Kameron. I tried to sleep but just daydreamed. Atleast I got to lay in bed and just relax. After they woke up we went out to the playground with some other kids and stayed out there for 6 1/2 hours. We had dinner over at the fieldhouse because I wasnt' cooking. The rest of the night wasn't too bad. Kameron was still a little fussy but once again he cried and cried at 5:30. I am going to lose my sanity pretty soon. I hope this is just a phase and not a habit. Well I think we are going to try and go out to the park again right now. There is just nothing to do indoors. Lets hope we don't get rained on.

Daddy's Shoes

We finally had nice weather today. It was about 85 degrees today. Kameron was finally able to wear shorts. He went through about 3 outfits today. He had some diaper blowouts. So I had a lot of laundry to do today. We had a BBQ for dinner and played frisbee for a while. It was fun. McKaila even tried playing frisbee with David and I. She would get the frisbee and walk it to us instead of throwing it.

McKaila was finally able to go swimming in her pool today. She had a fun time playing with all of her bath toys in there. She drank some Oxy Deep Carpet Cleaner today. We always lock the cupboard under the kitchen sink. We must have forgotten to lock it after getting a dishwasher tablet out. Anyways, McKaila goes into the kitchen to throw something away. She took a little bit longer so we call her name and she starts crying. She comes out to see us and she seems fine. David was snuggling with her and said she smelled good. She smelled like laundry soap he said. Well I go into the kitchen to see if she had pulled down laundry detergent and then I see the bottle of Oxy Deep. She likes to suck out the water in the spray bottle when I have to wet her crazy hair down. I read the label on the back of the Oxy Deep and it says to have them drink lots and lots of water. So we are trying to get her to drink a lot of water. David was trying everything. Using a syringe, a straw, anything to get her to drink it. Then she threw up everywhere. I am glad it is out of her system. This is the first time that she has really thrown up and not just spit up. It was nasty. We had to give her a bath and wash the couch cushions. Of course it got all over David as well. She was shakey after it was all over with. That was our drama of the day and hopefully for the whole week.

I finally feel like we are starting the process of moving. David has been doing everything so far because all that has needed to be done was paperwork. Hopefully tomorrow we are going into the embassy to get our visa pictures taken so we can get our Thai visas. I am going to try and find my visa picture so thats one less we have to pay for. Kameron might still have one and he still looks the same. McKaila will need a new one because she isn't a baby anymore :( Well I will leave you with some pictures from the last couple of days.

McKaila loves to wear her daddy's shoes.
