so my heart says, "God will provide, he will get you a babysitter for little bear, now that we are losing two babysitters, and somehow there will be enough money to pay all your bills now that obama's great jack up your creidt card payment plan has gone into effect." My head says..."AHAHAHAGGGGGG, we can't pay all our bills now, and we will have to skip work to take care of the baby. But since I can't come up with more moeny, and I can only pray about people to babysit, I guess I am going to have to try to drown out my head with my heart. Lets see if it works. :)

Last friday Laurana was cranky at grandpa's and when we got there we found out she had a new tooth breaking through the surface. Saturday was trying as she was cranky and kept rubbing her gums and crying. Sunday we skipped sunday school and just went to chruch. Laurana slept for about 45 mins before we left so she wasn't as cranky during church. but once chruch was over adn we were at the potfaith, she was very cranky and not wanting to eat well as her tooth was bothering her again. Monday, we decided to go to the dollar theater and see Couple's retreat. We were late leaving hte house, late dropping her off and by the time we got the lexington, we hadn't eatten and teh movie was starting, so we decided to go to the other theater and see if there was something we could watch there. so instead of paying 11$ for a dollar movie popcorn and the not, we paid alot more to see Avitar in 3D at the regualr theater, with popcorn and hotdogs. ( a great healthy lunch). It has been a...

so We brought her down yesterday morning and put her in her high chair so that she could play with her linkadoos while we packed lunches, got breakfast and loaded the car. She likes to look at hte cars go by so brad had pulled her high chair over next to the window. I looked over and she was leaning toward the window, and looked like she was just chilling. Then I went over the check on ehr and noticed that her hand was playing in the dirt in our potted ivy in the window. Then I noticed that Not only was her hand covered in Dirt but hse had dirt in her mouth. So I took a few pictures, wiped it out, and she seems to be just fine. She laughed when I called daddy to see her dirt covered smile.

So school is off to a great start this year. Teachers had an inseviece day on Monday. Lots got done, then we had a snow day on Tuesday. School on Wednesday.. and then snow days on Thrusday and friday. that is right one day with students this week, and only two days of work. I would have liked to go at least one more day thsi week but I am not going to complain, there is too much good in it. Brad andI have celebrated our snow week but playing video games playing with little princess bear and relaxing. Little bear can now sit up pretty well, she reaches for things, puts everything in her mouth, can kind of use her cup (you have to tilt it for her, she can get it in her mouth but doesn't realize you have to tilit it). She can scoot around in her walker (I know the pediaticts society says walkers are evil but she lvoes hers). All and all it has been a great week. She spent her first wed with Ms. Laura, she had alot of fun and was wonderful. God has once agian provided. Ms. Laura is goi...
