We went on a short family getaway to Blue Ridge, Georgia, and had fun swimming, getting apples to make apple butter, and riding on the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway (a hit for our train-loving girl!). Here are some pics of the requested birthday dress Mama made for her, and of our trip to "North Georgia":</div>

We had fun during the day...The little ones had colds and were up most of the night unable to breathe through their noses, and it ended up being in the upper 30's--<em>really</em> cold. So the second night we stayed with our friends parents in their beautiful lodge-like home 5 miles away. We hiked up the Blue Ridge and saw some beautiful mountains...I forget how much I miss mountains here in GA until I see one...it's sad when your 2 year old points to a tall building and says "Mommy! A mountain!"...ahem....anyways, she did a great job hiking and wants to go again! Here are the visuals:<br />

This progression of pictures is funny. Trying to get 8 people looking at the camera (smiling is an extra bonus!) at once is quite a challenge. I have new respect for my mom-in-law having wrangle everyone together for the yearly family photo (16 ppl and counting).<br />

I shop there quite frequently for myself, the hubby, the kiddos, and gifts for people. However, I don't think a clothing store should be pushing a political agenda, and promoting a destructive and sinful lifestyle: homosexuality. <br />
<br />
The retail chain is now selling shirts for its "Love Proudly: Pride 2011" <em>campaign</em> and donating 10% of the proceeds to the "It gets better" project (<a href="http://www.facebook.com/oldnavy?sk=app_102771089813109">http://www.facebook.com/oldnavy?sk=app_102771089813109</a>). I wrote them an email (you can too, if you'd like: <a href="mailto:custserv@oldnavy.com">custserv@oldnavy.com</a>) to let them know they should stick to selling stylish, affordable clothing, and that for a large amount of time, I will be shopping elsewhere. They currently collaborate with several activist groups (partnering with The American Red Cross Operation: Care & Comfort, to collect donated items for care packages to send to our troops overseas, and others), so they should continue to advocate things are <strong>good</strong> rather than <em>promote</em> and <em>condone </em>things that are harmful and unhealthy.<br />

It's raining outside and cozy inside. My children are sleeping at the same time!! Zucchini bread just pulled out of the oven. Hubs due home in a few hours. Maybe I should take a nap?? Or update this blog....it's been a month since I've posted anything! <br />
<br />
We had a wonderful, BUSY Christmas trip to California...it was quite challenging traveling with 2 very small kiddos. They did well overall but you just have to be flexible for those extra diaper blow-outs, few naps resulting in an overly emotional 2 year old girl, 10 minutes of shrill screaming from a 3 month old while all the airplane passengers stare at you as you try to smile and shove the pacifier in further, really long lines at security, 2 check-ins, a carseat, 3 backpacks, 3 carry-ons, a purse, and a double Bob jogging stroller. Phew! We really enjoyed spending time with our families and we miss them. But it is really good to be home and getting into our own routine and schedule again. <br />
<br />
I was just reading on a woman's blog that she picks a word each year to pray about, think about, and strive towards (such as patience, discipline, etc.). I couldn't pick just one so my words will be compassion and thankfulness. I pray that the Lord will soften my heart and help me to love others with compassion the way He does, and that I will be continually grateful for God's faithfulness, provision, and peace He tenderly pours into my life. What word/s would you pick? (It doesn't have to be super spiritual or deep--organization would be another I could've chosen!). <br />
<br />

...What're some little things <em>you</em> love?Lindsey Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11480299697254350396noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201576195674734572.post-15228336967535660922010-11-04T17:37:00.000-04:002010-11-04T17:37:54.924-04:00What I've been up to...Parenting two children is exponentially busier than one. Let me just put that out there before listing what's been going on in the last 6 weeks (so you'll hopefully be understanding and sympathetic). :)<br />
<br />
- Changing diapers (one in cloth, which has been suprisingly easier than I expected, and one in disposables, which we are praying will not be much longer--see next sentence)<br />
- Encouraging potty-training<br />
- Washing diapers<br />
- Running errands with 2 kids (3 hours to go 2 or 3 places--see next sentence)<br />
- Running errands alone (6 places in less than 2 hours)<br />
- Fighting a nasty cold that left me with a chain smoker's voice for a few days<br />
- Suctioning the...err..gunk....out of my 6 week old son's nose as he is also fighting a nasty cold<br />
- Dreaming about sewing and creating, but have yet to carry out that plan<br />
- Eating for two, as I'm keeping my son alive with my milk<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">- Thanking God for my sweet and helpful husband, two wonderful children, and a life that I wouldn't trade for anything-- although I will be thankful once we find a routine and my 2 year old learns a little self-control (like not sticking her finger down her baby brother's throat...). Ahem. I will leave you with a picture:</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

However, life with a newborn and a toddler is crazier, busier, and more prayer-invoking than most any other time in my life :) And I'm SO thankful for my new normal...which is anything but normal now (although I'm assured by older, wiser mothers that a routine will eventually be established in say, 3 or 4 months!). Here are some pictures of the new love of my life, my son, Little JIG (initials only to protect my sweet children from weirdos out there who may happen to stumble upon my blog):<br />

It was really easy to make and it works well (trust me....we were all sick with the stomach flu last week, and a two year old can't quite make it to the toilet to throw up...we washed <em>a lot</em> of clothes and towels and sheets....). Here's a link to the recipe I followed: <a href="http://www.thefamilyhomestead.com/laundrysoap2.htm">http://www.thefamilyhomestead.com/laundrysoap2.htm</a>. I ordered the washing soda and Fels-Naptha soap online and had it shipped to a local store so I didn't have to pay shipping. I use about a 1/2-3/4 cup for each load (depending on the size of the load and/or how dirty the load is). It was so simple to make and I like that I'm saving money (and I also know exactly what's in my soap!). Here's a pic of what it turned out like: <br />

I'm no exception. After making sure my hubby wouldn't mind, I got my hair cut the shortest it has been in the last 6 years. I really felt like I wanted a change and my current "style" (if you could call pulling long hair back in a ponytail <em>everyday </em>style-haha!) just wasn't doing it for me. Here's the result (and I didn't realize how swollen my face was beginning to look until this pic was taken yesterday!):<br />

I got a book from the library, bought the supplies from Wal-mart (a water-bath canner, jars, jar lifter, funnel, and pectin), and went to work. The strawberry jelly came out great! All of my jars but one sealed (which of course we ate right away), and it didn't take too long. It took me a few hours of constant stirring, watching, slicing, and cleaning, but it was very doable even with a toddler clinging to my leg.<br />
