This is a friend of mine's blog. I have known him for over 8yrs now. I met him thru a heart list.
Heart Defect suck. Sure I have made many great friends and met many people but, this is where they suck.
This certainly wasnt the first, nor will it be the last child I know of who dies but damnit...it makes me tear up every time I think of her. Not just for the loss but for the gigantic hole it has left in my friends life.
Cherish your moments, cherish your time.
Its late, I am tired and gosh darn it...there is something in my eye...
I could leave you with lots of facts but, the one that I think is most telling....Congenital heart defects affect 1 out of every 100 babies born. March of dimes lists CHDs in the top causes of Infant death. Some are severe, some are not...Some get lucky.
Bethy wasnt an infant....and she was lucky for only a short amount of time. Those she touched were lucky to have known her. And if you believe in fate...perhaps you can throw that in there too.
She left behind a mom, a dad (my friend) a loving brother and the baby sister she never met. She touched many lives in her short time.
Happy Birthday Little Moo.

yah, yah yah I know
I havent updated in a week. or so....
We went apple picking. I made apple butter and pear jam mmmmmmm was going to make apple jam but ran out of apples. We hope to go pick again. The pear jam is not quite thick enough but still tastes good. We didnt bother with the raspberries because they were really expensive....more so then the grocery store and we would have to do all that work and fight off the bees.
That Sunday we went skating....Ivan didnt skate...he had hurt his back earlier in the day. I clearly didnt skate enough as my legs did not hurt the next day.
That tuesday, I took Rebekah to the NP about the moles she is trying to scratch off. Got a referral to dermatology....that appt is this friday.
First GS meeting of the year that wednesday. And the building boys group. THe kids had fun. Ivan helped with the boys....Christine and I snuck out earlier for a dr appt for her....her hands/wrist have been bothering her...they were actually swelling last week.
Thursday was music for the little ones....they got new songs and we actually got there ALMOST on time. And it was Christine's bday. She opted to skip ASL that night.
Friday we went to the DMV in the morning, followed by the bakery, followed by science club at the pool. Then a friend of Christine's came over to spend the night. And Ivan, rebekah and I went to Costco for party food. And the washer broke.
Saturday was the party....fajitas, cheese, bananas foster....and good company. NIce time......somehow we ended up with more alcohol then we started with and no sodas left. Um ok....
Sundaywe drove to Santa Monica to meet up with Ivans friends from NY...they were in town for a wedding....we went over to Venice and saw some really strange sights. Then we attempted to go to Jerry's deli for dinner...we drove everywhere...finally asked a policeman for directions...he gave them to us and we found the deli. Sat down and looked at a far too large menu and discovered we were NOT at the location we had been searching for! We ate and took Dan and his wife back to the airport. And came home....
AND WATCHED AMAZING RACE
Monday was park day.....followed by bakery trip for the challah we ordered. Followed by bass lessons. Followed by a very very late night at Ivans parents.
Today I have been doing nothing but not really....I finished the sales tax and other large projects but have been left feeling like I didnt do much.
The rest of this week brings ortho tomorrow (I hope we can stop with the pallet expander expanding, music class, science club, dermatology appt, maybe disney and a Candy mountian bday party on sunday...so we prob wont skate this week but thats ok....the party will be a heck of alot more fun....isnt food always better then exercise?
I need to update my book list

Are you a brainiac?
You Are a Total Brainiac |
 You're amazingly brilliant. Some would even say genius. You're curious, thoughtful, analytical, and confident. You take on difficult subjects because you want to... not because you have to. No field of knowledge is too complicated or intimidating for you. You've got the brains to do anything you want. It's possible you end up doing everything you want. |
What Kind of Fruit are you?
You Are a Banana |
 You are mellow, easy going, and a total softie on the inside. People find it really easy to get along with you. You suit most tastes. And while you're very sweet, you're not boring or ordinary. You have an attraction to the exotic, and you could show up anywhere... doing almost anything! You are spirited, energetic, and a total kick to be around. You're also quite funny. Your sense of humor is on the goofy side, and it fits you well. |

A post
Ok I want to blog but, I do not have a heck of alot to say. SOOOOOOO, I will summarize last week for you lol....maybe along the way I will find something interesting to say.
My sinus/congestion/headache thing is almost gone. I still cough at night and am flemmy in the morning. But I am 100% better then last weekend.
Monday:
Christine headed over to friends house to get a hair trim then go to Disneyland. Rebekah had her Jazz dance that afternoon. While she was there, Nathan and I went to the bookstore and used some of my Gift certificate. We started a new routine for the morning. As most know, my house is really slow to wake up. So, while the 2 youngest are beginning to function and eat breakfast etc. instead of the usual mindless noggin or nick, we watch/listen to mostly....an educational (somewhat) dvd. The Leapfrog series or "Between the Lions" or "Electric Company" or similar. Then we watch 1 episode of "Signing time". Ideally, Christine who signs is around for this part....so, questions can be asked and correctly answered. We own 3 of the DVD and currently have 3 episodes, I believe, on DVR. Usually by then end of this hour....they are dressed, fed and functioning. Christine arrived home that evening around 830 (hmm cant recall what dinner was....OH wait, burritos and rice with the left over chicken from Sunday night). Our friends, who were dropping Christine off came in. Their youngest played with Nathan and Rebekah while the rest of us obsessively looked for a home movie of Christine giving herself a concussion. It was never found.....although hours later, the footage of that day was located but, I guess we didnt film the actual sled jump.
Tuesday:
About midway thru Monday, I got a call from IVC, they needed some odd paperwork for this semester. We headed over there about 1230 to take care of that then headed for girlscouts. After girlscouts, we returned home and then at 4 rebekah had another class at the Nature center. While she was in class, Christine, Nathan and I went to sprouts to get dinner which I now cant recall what it was.
Wednesday:
Christine headed to the snow with the friends from Monday. We had a pork/pepper dish from Jamie Oliver with Jasmine rice. It was pretty darn good and easy. Discussed what we would do to "tweak" the recipe next time. Ivan and Christine went down to "On Target" to meet up with a group of Shooter, that is just starting. The group is still small so, they did not find them but, I believe they had fun anyway and from what I hear, the place was colder then Running Springs, earlier that day had been. We also took the work van in for a new fuel pump (ouch)
Thursday:
Rebekah went to Grandmas for her usual once a week lesson. Grandma wants her working in a book that is 3rd/4th grade. Rebekah says it is too hard ( I agree) so, Grandma, while disappointed, work with her in another book. I picked her up, we came home for a very brief time and then headed to Christine's bass lesson. While she is at her lesson, we go across the street to a cute little park. We place a blanket and read a few chapters from whatever book we are reading this week. Then they play til it is time to go get Christine. That evening we went back to grandma's for dinner and intellegent conversation. We discuss classic books that we had read and Grandpa told us a bit about his childhood and how he traveled from Russia to Germany to Israel during the war. And also how is dad became an Eastern Orthdox priest despite being agnostic.
Friday:
Christine went to disneyland. In addtion to the normal morning video's rebekah watched "Wishbone" a few times while I was gone. (Daddy was home) We had pinwheel steak and sweet potato fries for dinner. Then headed to Disney ourselves. Where our last ride of the night, Star Tours, scared nathan so bad he peed his pants. He normally refuses to go on that ride because it scares him but decided to go this time. We only discovered this when Ivan went to put him on his shoulders. Beware should you sit in vehicle #1 row 4 2nd seat from the exit door...
Saturday:
Lazy, Lazy day. We finally got our act together and headed to Friedmans to discuss this kitchen of ours. My husband and his dad are perfectly capable of doing it but the drawing/layout part just doesnt get done. Well surfice to say IT MUST....holy cow....to pay someone to do it....um yah....I would be willing to spend that kind of money to have a nice kitchen I loved....but, I just want a kitchen I can function in, that looks nice to be sold. I dont need or want to love it.....I need a kitchen for a flip style house. Anyone know a good handy man to do it? LOL Then we stopped by my dads who lives down the street to make the ornament drop LOL My mom delivered 2 boxes of old ornaments to me on Christmas. She declared one for me, one for my brother. Well considering some were actually my dad's parents. I thought he should have some say so in the matter. My brother didnt much care. We shifted and rearranged the boxes, with some joke along the way (I decorated his house with some of the stuff....because they still live in my childhood house and some of the things always went in the same place EVERY year) I took the ornaments I had expressed that I really wanted years ago (2 of them were in my brothers box WTF?) after clearing it with my dad because, technically they are his. He said eventually they will be the two of you's anyways...I told him but your not dead yet so they are yours. I gave my brother other ornaments that belonged to my grandparents and took the Santa my mom stuck in my brothers box that I had bought her years ago with hard earned money. It was bought the first year I did not live at home. More jokes about all the junk in the garage. And home we went. When we got home, it was really too late to think about, decide and prepare dinner so, we decided to go out. Racked our brains for something and ended up at the Orange County Mining Company. We had a nice meal. I think perhaps once a month, as a family we need to go to a nice dinner. Dress up and use our manners for food.
Sunday:
This is today. My husband and his brother are at the indoor range. Something about David trying one of Ivans pistols (Christine correct me if I am wrong) because he is considering purchasing one. Right now the girls are out walking the dog. I am doing laundry and listening to endless Thomas the Tank engine DVDs. Later, Rebekah has another Archery lesson. Then Christine wants to cook fish for dinner. I did a small amount of gardening too. There are finally brocolli showing! YAH
OH and Christine's new semester starts tomorrow.

Proper Update
Dear Blog police, AKA Dan at 0ddness....
Proper Update you say?
Since I dont really write...as mentioned in numerous blog posts and even mentioned upon original start up of blog to said Blog Police....
Here is the run down of life:
Almost finished Christmas shopping....stocking stuffers really left....something for my grandma (what do you get someone who buys whatever they want?), and my mom....she is downsizing....so getting her stuff seems silly...although her DH called me today to say she informed him she wants high thread count, white pillowcases....um ok...
My dad and my brother but they are so easy...some holiday beer or similar...coffee and Gift certificates...
We got off 5 or 6 boxes to B & C Company containing Holiday Oreos, canned tuna, magazines, cards, nuts and blank stocking with paint to write names on them. Oh and one contained a silly elf hat. We will prob continue every now and then thru the year as the group Ivan belongs to continues the project.
On the way to Park day tomorrow we will stop (the kids and I) at the OC rescue mission with Jeans mostly but some other misc clothes.....only what we can carry easily....any overflow will be taken another day. We stocked up on a clearance jean years ago....and they dont fit Ivan....some are brand new with tags....he is finally parting with them. If I had motivation, I would ebay them (they are GAP) but giving them away is better Karma anyway.
My washer is fixed so, I have been catching up on laundry.
We attended our yearly Christmas party last night. Fun as usual. Santa came, the kids were thrilled.
This week brings a Nutrition appt for the oldest...to try and learn how to manage the Hyperglycemia. And an early morning Jaunt to San Diego to see the nutcracker on stage...just me and the girls (incredible group price....totally worth the gas) We hope to get the tree up Tuesday I think....and then Disney either tues or thurs as Rebekah is dying to ride Christmas Haunted house. The kids is a Nightmare before Christmas fan.
Rebekahs birthday is next Sunday. She wants to eat at Goofy's kitchen and have a few people over for Cake and Ice cream. Not sure how we are going to do that, still working on it....
As of last week, rebekah has given up Ballet for the year. It has really been frustrating her. So she will continue with Jazz and perhaps trying Ballet next year. She is not quite, emotionally on the level yet for the class I think.
What else? No classes for Christine, finals were last week. She is registered for spring already. Also, I believe she wants to take a cooking class or two with the Parks and rec....as well as swing dance again. Need to get those off my plate as far as sign ups go.
I could make a to-do list but I bet the blog police would like that even less then my to-read list.
I need to get the charity shoot pics uploaded so, I can create the thankyou picture. And then get that off. We took about half the toys to the hospital already. Those that could be hospital supplies (crayons etc) and a small assortment right before Chanukah. I think we will take the rest on Rebekahs birthday.
Also, on this weeks list is some baking....I have ready made sugar cookie dough for cookie cutting, need to make chex mix....and I dont know what else. We will get there.
yep I think that is it for now.

Dan wants an update
::::choke, choke, cough:::::
It is smokey here.....about 9,000 acres in the Irvine area have burned. They believe it to be arson. Its not really making the news....the news is mostly malibu and saugus fires. But we also have Lake Arrowhead, Ontario and more then one in san diego.
It is nasty hot and windy....we have some pictures.....maybe Christine will post them later.....
We are staying holed up in the house....except for dance...because they have a performance saturday....or we wouldnt be doing that either.
I have alot more to say but no real desire to actually write. But, then again, I never professed to be a writer and I hated all writing assignments in school. I am too over critical of my own writing so, it really isnt any fun for me. So, y'all will have to be more patient....geez

Whats new....
Eh nothing much but then alot.
Been so busy trying to get ready for school...and get schedules down...not much free time. Christine started one college tuesday, the other starts monday....so I need to have those down too.
But, it is getting smoother and then maybe I will have more time to blog, or more things to say.
Still trying to find an art or music history/appreciation for this year. My story of the world cd has suddenly grown legs....right when we read the Treehouse series book on mummies and pyramids. I gave up looking and spent the money for new. Bad me. But, I really want it now.
Rebekah heads off to camp again next week. She doesnt know yet. I cant stand the 4 billion times a day question of when do I leave for camp. Some people look at me funny when I say I am sending my 7yr old off to camp. She loves it and could care less. And I think it is important for her to be around and see other kids with heart defects who might be limited in what they can or can not do and for her to know she is not alone. Many "heart" kids dont get that chance and grow up just thinking they are really weird.
There ya go Dan. Now leave me alone lol

Still trying to find an art or music history/appreciation for this year. My story of the world cd has suddenly grown legs....right when we read the Treehouse series book on mummies and pyramids. I gave up looking and spent the money for new. Bad me. But, I really want it now.
Rebekah heads off to camp again next week. She doesnt know yet. I cant stand the 4 billion times a day question of when do I leave for camp. Some people look at me funny when I say I am sending my 7yr old off to camp. She loves it and could care less. And I think it is important for her to be around and see other kids with heart defects who might be limited in what they can or can not do and for her to know she is not alone. Many "heart" kids dont get that chance and grow up just thinking they are really weird.
There ya go Dan. Now leave me alone lol

a challenge for dan
ha ha
going to update my book list in a few......
so when he does his weekly round up, he will be forced to choose between my really exciting book list or teasing me on the fact that my musical mondays was done by my daughter because I couldnt figure it out. (or actually my brain was too taxed to wrap it around the concepts)
Maybe I will blog more later.....
maybe my own what we did this week and what is on the schedule for the upcoming days.
