Weaning and Wailing

I have been working on weaning the baby for a week now. She is doing pretty well but sometimes just doesn't get why this is happening to her. I am taking the new medication and it is going slow but I am hopeful. It can't last forever right.......

Depression Sucks!

I have been dealing with depression for some time. For the last three pregnancies it has gotten harder and harder to battle. Everytime someone told me to stop breastfeeding and go on another medication I refused. I cannot refuse anymore. I have to stope nursing for the whole family's benefit. I am watching them fall apart around me and have to do something. So the nursing is over. Pray for us to get thru it.

And Another is Growing up and Reaching new stars!

Our beautiful Anastasia turned Eight on April 29th. She is smart and witty and has a wicked wicked laugh. She drives her older sisters nuts and her little brother nuts but Katrina thinks she is the bees knees. Who knows what delights she has in store for us but life is definately more interesting with her in it.

She also recently celebrated first commonion with her class. Receiving a blessing as she is not Catholic but Russian Orthodox so she received first communion when she was baptized.

They Tell you Time Flies but How did this Happen

On April 24th my oldest child turned 13. Sasha is a lovely, sensative and intelligent girl. She can tell you amazing things. She knows so much about so many things. She is Laryssa's best reference for her Greek report. The time has gone by so quickly but I love the person she is and is becoming. Great things are coming her way!

Happy Birthday Little Girl

To my sweet Katrina (Kitty Girl). You are such a sweet bundle of love. Our world would not be complete without you. Just look how much you've grown this year. We love you love you love you!

Daze in the Arizona Sunshine

We had a good visit with Mom in Arizona and the kids had a great time. I don't seem to have pictures of Zara. I'll have to fix that.

Unloaded or Loaded

My kids say I am not allowed to shop on vacation or I must be strictly monitered. I will not include a picture of the packed car or the contents of said car in the formerly clean living room. Suffice to say, I will be picking it up for the next week and doing more evil laundry. I sure am glad to be home though.
