This video was actually taken a couple weeks ago on our way back up to Portland, but I wanted it to stand alone, instead of putting it in a post with other pictures and videos. Maisie was bored to tears at the end of our long car ride, so this is what she did to entertain herself.

I need to catch everyone up with some pictures!  I finally downloaded my pictures from my camera, so it is picture and video time! This picture of Justin and Maisie giving kisses was taken on our way back up to Portland.   Somehow Maisie decided to smile for the camera!  (yeah, it is a fake smile, but a smile nonetheless!) My best friend from high school had a baby and he is sooooo cute!  Here is a little picture of us with our kids!  CRAZY!   I took this picture the other day because it was just so cute how Maisie was all teeny tiny, sitting in the doorway of this cute little coffee shop.  How that brings me delight, I don’t know, but it does!     I love this picture of Maisie for a few reasons.  First of all, I think her hair looks so freakin’ cute!  Secondly,…

Today I went back to the dentist to figure out a "treatment plan" and to get my teeth cleaned.  Let's just say that I hate going to the dentist.  I am so happy that I found a guy that I like, but why, oh why is it like torture to go to a dentist?  I had my butt cheeks clenched the whole time.  I couldn't help it!  It didn't even hurt, but it was agonizing.  I don't know.  It was so dentisty!   Anyways, the thing I am kidding about is the gap.  I wasn't kidding when I wrote the post about whether to close the gap, but that was before I knew how much it would cost to do it!  YIKES!  Yeah right!  If it were crazy cheap (which for some crazy reason I thought it was) then I would maybe consider it, but thousands of dollars?  No thanks.…

Today I went to the dentist to fix my broken tooth.  This is the same broken tooth that broke during my ninth month of pregnancy.  So yeah, 19 months later and I am finally getting it fixed!!!  My last dentist experience was AWFUL so I was completely nervous going in, but as soon as the dentist walked in the room, I was at peace. He is such a nice guy!  He was confident that they could fix my broken tooth (along with some cavities).  Ew. He pointed out that I still had all my teeth.  My wisdom teeth hadn't been pulled. This led to the fact that my teeth on the bottom could become crowded and that if they did, he could give me Invisilign (or something like that) to fix the teeth on the bottom.  He then went on to say that he could also fix the gap I…

I am NOT a farm girl, yet I am living on a farm.  A real farm with a barn and goats!  My dad always had a farm and would try to talk me into coming out and living on the farm.  Yeah, not so appealing.  I don't think there is anything wrong with living on a farm if that is your thing, but for me, the negatives outweigh the positives.  This farm that we are living on has been the most perfect place for us to live during our transition.  We are getting out of our comfort zone, but also finding peace and calm in the nature.  It is so drastic from where we moved from.  Paris, France to a small city on a farm! Today was a perfect example of why I am not cut out to be a farm girl.  This evening Justin and I were hanging out…
