Bow-ooh

Thomas has finally learned to say boo after 16 months of peek-a-boo lessons!  Although it was my first word, there is only so much you can pass on directly to your children, sigh.

The greatest accomplishment t bird is making each day is learning new words.  Yesterday he learned "off," and it was hilarious because the most important thing anyone could ever do in life, of course, is to take off a pen cap for fun over and over, and therefore, he needed to learn the word 'off' so I could cooperate before any screaming ensued.  We enjoyed this pasttime for several seconds before boredom crept into the room and we moved on to banging the keyboard and other lively activities.

Tomorrow is the Nestle 5k and Thomas and I are gonna go for it together!  Woohoo!  I hope that I will have better luck than last year at winning something afterward.  Does that sound selfish?  But they have such great prizes and winning is so much fun!  I would love to win a little bike for Thomas.  He thinks bikes are the niftiest thing.  He's had many near-death experiences trying to get close enough to touch one.  From speeding 4 year olds on the sidewalk, to pulling Dad's bike down on himself, Thomas is surprisingly resilient in his determination to have one someday.  

For the first couple months of preggerness, I looked forward with eager anticipation to the day when I would post my own baby countdown on my blog and alas, when the day came that I announced my preggerness, I had forgotten!  So here it goes, and I hope you like it.

Speaking of hopes, I hope John manages to stay dry tonight under the stars.  I hope he comes home smelling of campfire and fun times.  I hope that he is safe.  I hope that tomorrow we have the awesomest day ever!

Okay, I will stop blogging now and go to sleep.

Seeya.

Goodnight.

Bye.

Granola Recipe adapted from a Smitten Kitchen Recipe

My friend just made these and gave ME some!  I feel so honored!  They were really crispy and clustery- new word?  So I'm sharing them with you.  Love, Paige   6 c. Old Fashioned Oats 2 c. shredded coconut 2 c. Rough chopped Almonds (I pulsed in the food processor 5-6 times) 1 c. Wheat Bran 1 t. kosher salt 1 t. cinnamon Combine all dry ingredients then add these wet ones. Stir until covered. 1/4 c. Olive Oil 1 c. pure maple syrup 3 egg whites  Whip until they are frothy and pour into oat mixture. Stir until combined.  Spread on a lined baking sheet, pressing it down gently. Bake for 40 minutes at 300. Turn large portions of granola like you are flipping a pancake. (trying to keep it clustered) Bake for 15 more minutes at 300. Check to see if its golden brown all over. If there are any patchy spots. Turn the granola one more time and bake for 5 minutes.  Let it cool and crispify on the baking sheet. Enjoy. Or...

A Pregnant Post by Paige about Pregnancy

Here's the belly progression: 6 Months 8.5 Months Warning! This post may contain personal musings about pregnancy. It may read like a journal. It may contain baby excitement and overall feelings of joy. So I have been stepping on things lately. Mostly toys. How is this possible, you ask? Those of you familiar with my adroit walking skills may be puzzled at this point. I know I was until I took a shower this morning. And I couldn't see my feet at all; not a hint of them, no toes, nothing, not even when leaning forward could I see anything but a belly button sun on the horizon of a large earth belly. And that is why I've been stepping on things. Thomas' toy hammer, a plastic giraffe, the zipper of John's coat . . . The loss of my peripheral vision going down is apparently complete. I can't see where I am stepping! What a frightening feeling. I have also been walking into common household objects with my belly. Doorknobs and chairs. Major medial disco...

Myrtle Beach

Recently we moved to Myrtle Beach, SC.  It has been quite the adventure so far, including moving across the country by car and being out of our home for 9 days before receiving our new house keys.  We have been to the urgent care a couple times and the hospital getting a finger glued back together and a forehead stitched up.  We drove between storms of snow and tornadoes, safely arriving in what we Wilsons consider summer weather, but we have been told to wait until July for the real humidity and heat. Our charming house is twenty years old and very cute.  It has kitchen dining and living rooms downstairs and bedrooms up. It was getting a little awkward when we purchased our electric lawn mower online and then waited several days for it to show up. We have made new friends with our culdesac neighbors, church members, and cub scouts. One of our favorite things is our neighborhood pool at the end of our street, six houses down.  We are really happy that Spen...
