This is my joyful journey of life in the White House. There is never a dull moment in my life as a wife of twenty years, a mother of seven children, a homescholling family, and a partner in ministry.

What Michael chatters...
Michael David (now 21 months) is finally starting to talk much more than grunts and points. His first word was "ball," followed closely with "dad." I love the things he says now and I wanted to document it before I forget. He recently started calling Summer, "G," because sometimes Summer goes by her nickname, "Summer G," with "G" being short for her middle name "Grace." He loves jumping on the trampoline and affectionately calls it his "boom-boom." He loves trains and calls them "choo-choo." He loves to fist-bump and makes the "bomb" sound after he bumps fists. He calls guitars, "uh-gar." He calls apples, "bapples." He gives kisses and hugs and makes the cutest pucker I have ever seen! He says, "down" for sitting/getting down and for getting up. When laughing hard and loud he makes a "wha-ha-ha" laugh! He calls me "mom, mama, and mooooom!" He calls Brianna "nanna" and Paul "paul." He hasn't yet used a name for Emily or Zoey yet, though. He loves to copy Zoey. He also says "no" with the most naughty and cutest manner...shaking his head, deep frown, and an overall dislike. I wish I could just let that one slide...:)
21 weeks
How Far Along: 21 weeks 1 day
Sleep: Sleep is pretty much the same, except the past few days I am fighting a nasty sore throat that wakes me up at night (3am). I also have to sleep upright because the sore throat makes it hard to breathe.
General Feeling: Still feeling good (except for this icky cold).
Best Moment of the Week: Homeschool is back in the swing of things, so life is busy-exciting.
Movement: Now, I feel baby mainly in the middle and mostly at night, still.
Food Craving: Still enjoying the savory foods! Last night was grilled chicken and veggie kabobs marinated in honey-soysauce (all homemade, of course!).
Food Aversions: Most raw veggies. I eat plenty of vegetables, but they are mostly steamed, grilled, or baked. I will eat a savory salad, though! (same)
Gender: I have a strong feeling that the baby is a girl still. Next Monday I find out (four days!)
Exercise: Nope. Just on my feet all day and cleaning and cooking and chasing a toddler.
What I miss: Not bumping into walls.
What I'm looking forward to: Finding out the sex of the baby in four days!
Other NEW news this week: I finished putting up all the decor in my room since Chris and I switched bedrooms two months ago.
Weekly Wisdom: Water is my friend!
Favorite thing I did this week: Making homemade dessert. My pies are the BEST! (I have to keep this one...I love sweets!)
Favorite item I bought this week: A glider and foot rest from my neighbor across the street. She was having a garage sale. I needed one and it was the perfect style, fit, and size. So happy!
