Now the Network's Cooking with Gas!

So ever since I got my loverly new Apple laptop I've been having problems with it's wireless network connection on our old network. At first I thought it was just when DH's school laptop was on, but this morning when he was at school, I still got kicked off the network twice! I decided the best thing to do was get the Airport Extreme network. It's awesome! I can be in our bedroom and still have all the bars on the network indicator! It's zippy everywhere in the house. I bet it even works great on the deck! I'll try that over the next few days.

Phoebe also lost another tooth this afternoon. That makes 8 baby teeth she's lost before her 7th birthday (in October). I realized I haven't been talking about her that much lately, but she is such a trip. I've had to crack down on her manners though. Can't stand children that interrupt other people's conversations. She's spent some time on her bed lately. I was teaching her tonight how to get in the shower by herself, so she can be more self sufficient in the evenings.

We're going to Point to Point tomorrow, which is a big horse racing event in Wilmington, DE. It'll be the three of us and DH's sister. I'm hoping to take some pictures that I can post.

Phoebe's Fifth Grade School Picture

Here's Phoebe's 5th Grade School Picture.  I really like her in red or bright colors.  She's definitely becoming quite the little lady.

The Boys Are Here!!!

I'm trying to post this from the hospital Internet access, but I will be able to do this announcement better justice from home, but it is a very odd, but short birth story. They came so fast and furious there was nothing anyone could do. But the boys are in the NICU and doing well. They were born at 31 weeks 5 days gestation on 5/29/2009. I will post their names and information (no comments on names unless you like them, LOL): Baby A: Thomas Michael III born at 2:09 AM Weight - 3 lbs, 15 1/2 oz Length - 18 inches Baby B: Liam Jonathan born at 2:20 AM Weight - 4 lbs, 1.4 oz Length - 17 1/4 inches long Just a word on their health, Thomas's breathing is doing well and he did not need any help in that area so far. I had two steroid shots from when I was admitted until before they were born, so I think that helped. Liam was intubated and given surfactant when he arrived in the NICU and is now on CPAP, although he can't stand having the tubes in his nose. Both are under t...

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...
