Well, this year has had many twists and turns already in our little lives. My blog title has become a misnomer as currently I am NOT enjoying food--the taste, texture, or smell...but that is another blog in itself. There is, however, enough information this week to compile a (drumroll) highs and lows list.
Highs then Lows for February
H: Our tax return will pay to finish the back yard of our children's dreams.
L: Our tax return will barely cover grass, sprinkler, and fence...that's it.
H: I am decidedly not hungry for "naughty" foods.
L: It won't last.
H: The boys have finally discovered each other as best buddies.
L: Best buddies in crime... Deborah: "How did EZ get in here to swish in the toilet (play in the garage, sit on the front porch, get in the shower, eat this... etc)?" HY: "I help him...!"
H: Aaron has committed himself to the care of the boys in the morning so that Deborah can go to the gym.
L: Deborah has gone once.
H: HY's ability to communicate gets better every day
L: HY's resistance to being corrected is reinforced by his blooming communication skills.
Deborah "HY, please don't hit EZ" HY (while still hitting EZ) "I'm not hitting him." Deborah "Well please don't bonk him on the head." HY (still hitting) "I'm not bonking him." Deborah "Please stop, HY" HY (under his breath) "...I'm bamming him..."
H: Aaron and I will be participating in a reenactment of the Mormon Pioneers pulling handcarts on a 5 day trek with the youth in our community.
L: One of the necessary skills to have as per our leader handbook is "kill and prepare live fowl"
H: Aaron and I have discovered the wonders of reading Harry Potter.
L: Aaron and I stay up until 2:30 a.m. discovering the the wonders of reading Harry Potter.
H: We're going on a Disney cruise this summer with the entire extended family.
L: Ain't nothin low about that.

Hi Deborah,
This is Alexis. Your mom gave me your blog address. It is fun to be able to read about your boys. They sound fun - and exhausting. In June I had a little girl, Catherine. We are really happy that she is healthy and happy, and that I am pretty healthy, too.
I have a blog that I try to keep updated. You can just click through my name and check it out if you want to.
Yea, you updated! How wonderful you are! Let's play every day (if we ever get the chance to be in the same state).
Yea, your back! It is so fun to hear what is going on in you family. I am left wondering how you managed to not want to eat food? We need to chat. ( hope you haven't been sick :( )
Hooray! Let me know how the Disney cruise is...I'm jealous!
