What's the Use?

I've always been amused by perfectly functional pockets on baby clothing. Really, of what use are they? 
Maybe they are good for hauling money or valuables around - if only you knew the difference between the value of money and the value of a used kleenex.
What about art supplies? You never know when you'll need a crayon to draw on something - if only you had mastered the notion that you have hands and that they can be useful to you.
Maybe they are good for hauling snacks around - if only you were able to eat snacks at 8 weeks old.
Ah, there is one useful thing that could fit in those little pockets.
A pacifier!

    I am laughing too; you ARE very clever, you know! If Keilah had enough pockets she could keep money on hand for her brother to borrow for the purchase of more legos...in fact, she could charge interest and make money on the deal - if she had another pocket to keep it in. Then crayons for Ana and Abby to use, more interest gained, and a snack to nourish her motherly food source - you don't rob the hand that feeds you - and the pacifier for when mom's not available...lots of use for baby's pockets!

    Thanks for keeping us all entertained....love, MomK

    So cute and funny! I have to admit, you're right - what in the world are baby pockets for? Aside from additional cuteness :)

A Tribute To My Mom

I am undertaking a three week challenge as a way of support for my dear mother.  I would include a picture here of her if I could, but she would not appreciate that (though I do have permission to write this post) Years ago, as a wee little lass, she had the misfortune of contracting polio.  While she was able to regain normal function and led a very normal life for most of her years, polio has reared its ugly head once more in her life, this time in the form of post-polio syndrome.  Click here for a link to just what post-polio is.  For those of you who prefer a one sentence summary of PPS, it's mainly a continual weakening of the muscles that were affected when polio was first contracted - it can range from mild to quite debilitating.  My mom has been struggling with full blown PPS for a couple of years now.  There is really no cure at all, few medicines to help, just learning to listen to your body in what it now has decided that it can no long...

Triplets Nine Years Apart

See if you can figure out who is who. I tried to find pictures without obvious clues in the background (siblings, house changes, etc.), though if you look really closely and know us well you'll be able to pick up a few giveaways.

New Tummy Shot and Tooth Trials

Image
I took this picture yesterday before church - I'm almost 19 weeks here - definitely looking pregnant. Aaron finally felt the baby move last night.  It made him happy.  I had been able to feel it from the outside for several weeks now, but every time I tried to get Aaron's hand there, the baby would stop kicking.  I'm enjoying feeling good again and having a little more energy - though I do get more tired out sooner than I used to.  I guess that goes with the territory.  Next week is our ultrasound appointment.  We decided that we are going to find out what we are having!!!  I'm super excited about this! Yesterday, right as church was ending, David took a nasty fall at church.  Somehow, the only thing he managed to hurt was his lips and one front tooth. It appeared that his single tooth took the entire fall.  He cracked it vertically from top to bottom, and then along the gum line was another crack running horizontally.  S...
