TREMORS!
Well, I guess it officially takes a natural phenomenon for me to post on our blog nowadays! For those who don't live nearby and didn't feel the tremors, the midwest experience a 5.2 earthquake at about 4:30 this morning. The epicenter of the quake was about 120 miles east of our location and, yes, it literally shook me out of my sleep! As I lay there a snoozin' I was suddenly awakened by a very loud rumble. I jumped out of bed, checked the crib-- Sadie was fine. Next I ran to William's room thinking maybe he woke up early and may have knocked something over. Sure enough it wasn't my two-year-old rocking the house!! My mom, also startled by the event, ran to William's room, too! After about 15-20 seconds or so it was over. That's when my mom and I said to each other, "Do you think that was an earthquake?" And, sure it enough, it was! Thankfully each of my babies were just fine, but needless to say everyone was awake and stayed that way! Oh well, I guess that means early naps for all of us today! Thank you for your protection, Lord!
GOING PRIVATE
Now about my 'blogging procrastination'. Lately I've been toying with whether or not to make our family blog private. While I love making new friends and the idea of knowing that an old friend/acquaintance could happen upon our blog-- we've decided to go private, at least for the next year as we are overseas. My friends and dear readers, there is so much more I want to share about our lives that at this time and, for good reasons, I just can't. So, if you'd like to join us on our overseas adventure--and we'd LOVE it if you would-- PLEASE e-mail me at jamie@thefrenchfamily.org or leave a comment. If you do, I'll be sure to send you a personal invitation. It doesn't matter if we're old or new friends, Internet buddies, or you've read our blog and never left a comment--it doesn't matter-- just drop me a line and I'll add you to 'the list'. We'd love to have your join us and look forward to hearing from you! And, by the way, I promise I'll update more frequently! :)
HAVE YOU EVER GOOGLED...
Before I go, a quick question: Have you ever had to google this ? Well, I did this past week after William woke up from his nap looking like this:
Yes, Will had found a container of Vaseline and rubbed it in his hair. After a good laugh and a photo shoot, I realized that getting this jelly out of his hair wasn't going to be a piece of cake. After looking at this site, I was a little depressed! Needless to say, after rubbing a good bit of baby oil in his hair (I know it sounds crazy!)...
Three washings with Dawn dishwashing soap (he loved this part)...
And an ice cream sandwich...
William's hair was Vaseline-free and as soft as I can remember. Shoo! Never a dull moment! I hope you never experience this, but if you do I hope this helps!
I'll leave you with some other recent pics-- Enjoy! And again, PLEASE join us as we go private! Just leave a comment or e-mail me at jamie@thefrenchfamily.org As a fantastic blogger once said (Rachel!), your comments are like Christmas morning to me! It's true!! :):)
Love in Christ,
Jamie
