Great to find out that you are having a boy Sarah! It is especially good to hear that everything is on track.

Marystarr Wilder is beautiful. And do not worry, it will all get worked out with raising two kids. I remember feeling overwhelmed at first but it gets better. Just take the time to do little things with Ava. Read to her or build a puzzle while you are nursing Wilder or ask her to help by getting diapers if she is the kind of child who would like to be involved with helping care for a sibling.

Kri, You sound so busy. I am in awe of you.

Maigan, Enjoy the camping. Should be some fun times for both girls.

It has been a busy summer. I am no longer working and forgot how much harder it is to be home all day. The kids seem happier and Samuel is throwing fewer fits and has been a bit less violent (he has a tendency to hurt himself or others when he is frustrated). We are still trying to work our a way for him to release tension without casing damage.

Other than that just been busy getting ready for Vivian's birthday party this Saturday. I just got done making the fondant decorations for the cake (Little Mermaid themed so dolphins, fish, etc). She is super excited right now.

I am trying to get started making and selling cakes. Determined legality of it (can sell in Iowa as long as it doesn't require refrigeration) and am just trying to get the word out.
