Dastrups have left the building

By -
The Dastrup family should be on the plane on the way back to Albaturkey right now. It was one crazy week with Ty being a little fuss bucket and Jacob not in his own domain.....but Baby Einstein helped with that. We didn't have time to do anything fun...not even a single game (with adults...I wore my arms out sword fighting with Benjamin on the Wii!). This has been an interesting few months. With Emmy being born in December and poor Erica needing some help a couple of times with health problems we had Erica & Emmy here for a while...then we had a Dinosaur Christmas in Albuquerque. After that Marilyn went back to Albuquerque to help when Ty was born. While she was gone Cambrie & the little girls came so she could go do her clinicals and was here when Marilyn got back. Now this past week Dastrups have been here for his grandpa's funeral & Ty's blessing. At least we can say it hasn't been boring around our house nor lacking in the laughter (nor cries) of little ones! Right now I'm enjoying the relative peace & serenity but I have a feeling I'll start pining for grandkids before long. What a wonderful family! Oh yea...I forgot to say that Brett & Katie showed up yesterday and I had to slave and pull out the pizza leftovers out of the fridge for them! :-) Gosh....the work never ends!

Busy Busy! I didn't help much with Erica though. Just when she hemorrhaged I got to tend...which was good. It gave me the opportunity to bond with her when she was too young to care much who was tending her! She gets cuter every time I see her! Believe it or not, she is starting to rival Lydia's fat cheeks! One thing is certain, we have had much feasting with grandkids lately (of the feast or famine)

I think she's talking about Emmy's fat cheeks, not Ericas. ;-)

A tale of two Brians

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
