Desperate plea from a mother of 4!

Macaroni, Macaroni, Mac n Cheese - 3 times daily pretty please!
Macaroni, Macaroni, Mac n Cheese - we love Mac n Cheese!


That is the lyrics of one of Aleah's favourite songs from a 'Barney' video. It is also my plea as a mother of 4 who just used the last box of the precious stuff the other week! All you American mothers out there...what would you do without Macaroni and Cheese when you need a quick meal for your kids???? I beseech you therefore any of you who feel so inclined to help me out...could you send us some Macaroni and Cheese??!!!

If you need my adress - email me (kdrybonz@aol.com) and I will send it to you.

A thousand thankyou's to anyone who hears my plea and answers it!!

Levi is 3 weeks



Here's a quickie to mark Levi's 3 week birthday. Don't have much else to share on the matter because we have been stuck inside due to VERY cold weather and fevers coming and going between myself (kris) and Aleah. As soon as we are well enough and the weather permits I will be taking Levi to the baby clinic to get weighed.

He is currently on a 4 hour schedule of feeding (pretty much clockwork). Sometimes he'll go 5 hours in the night which is a REAL blessing. He is very content and happy to be awake for a little while after most feeds. His sibling dote over him daily.


Enjoy.

Here's what we've been up to...

Over the last 2 weeks we have been...
- adjusting to life with a newborn
- enjoying the Christmas holidays
- enjoying a great visit with Grandma which includes:

*playing games (dutch blitz, phase 10, spoons, boggle, and perudo)

*making and eating lots of cinnamon buns


*having 'mickey mouse' pancakes

*doing puzzles



*making 'snickerdoodles'


*and just enjoying having her around!


We love you Grandma!
(Quoting Samuel just as we drove away from the airport...'I miss her already!')

Levi is doing well and is on a pretty good schedule. He has changed so much already...his newborn look is slowly fading - it happens so fast! He is not bothered by the noise of his brother and sisters and they are all very happy to have him around. We often have a waiting line of siblings wanting to hold/cuddle him. They are all very sweet with him.
