A Day Late And A Dollar Short!

As usual, I am late putting a post on here. Yesterday was Mark's 35 birthday. I love having a husband who is older than me; no matter how old he is, I will always be 7 seven years younger.

He had to work and had a bad day. He did get to see his little sister and talk to his older sister, so that made his day better. He also got this talking card that absolutely made his day.

Miss Dee Dee may be having a little girl (they were only 85% sure, which is more sure than they were with Sierra-Lynn [80%]). Now, I have to figure out what I am going to do with about a billion bags of baby boy clothes. Oh well, that's a small worry.

Before I forget, Jackson now has three teeth, with 2 maybe 3 more on the way. His new tooth looks discolored but it may just be a bruise on his gums. We were also able to get his iron level up, just by one point, but that's pretty darn good considering we did it in 2 weeks; it took forever to get Sierra-Lynn's up.

Sierra-Lynn is doing good, we started "Book it" on the first, and she has 2 out of the 10 books that she needs to read this month to get her pizza. We have also started working on learning about Delaware and George Washington. If anyone as a recipe from Delaware, please leave it in the comments. By the end of the month, we should know the words to Delaware's state song as well as have a mock vacation planned, who knows what kind of fun is to be had in the first state of the United States Of America.

I seem to be losing myself in this thing called motherhood, but I will have to post that later, Jackson is screaming. He should be napping, but he doesn't seem to want to sleep (ever).

Sierra-Lynn and I can't have shellfish either, so we won't be able to tell you if they are good, but thank you. And you will get credit for the recipe find.
