What's new with us?

Well, Nana and Papa are visiting and the kids have been hilarious. Here is a few of the kiddisms that are making us laugh:

We had a rich sausage one night and Aaron asked, "Does it have a lot of money?"
Kara's new phrase is: "I'm making noise!"
When the Aaron started repeating everything I said I had to come up with a new phrase when I was upset,
so I always say peter, Paul and Mary. It just makes me feel better when I am mad. So now Aaron is starting to say it, but the other day he added to it. Aaron was mad that I told him to get dressed and he said, "Peter, Paul and Mary and Crap!" What did you say? I asked him. "Peter, Paul and Mary and crap!" So there was no mistaking he said my catch phrase and crap. So i had to explain that saying crap is not nice so that's why mama says Peter, Paul and Mary. Oh, o.k. he said. Aaron also told us the other day, "Sometimes I need time alone. It's not that I don't like Kara, I just can't hear!" :D

We got Aaron a toy for his birthday because it was on sale he saw us buy it. So we have left it downstairs so he can look at it until his birthday. It's been down there a week or so. We went shopping Friday and they had tons of toys on clearance so we bought some Lego's (I have a weakness for Lego's) So the next morning Aaron woke me up with this. "Mama, could you put those other Lego's next to the optimus gun and then put up a sign saying The Museum, since I can look but not open them yet." That cracked me up.

We were trying to get Kara to go downstairs, but she wanted to play in her kitchen upstairs so she got in my face to make sure I understood and said, "I'm making, I'M Ma-King!" Later she wanted Nana to read to her and said, "Read book, Nana. Read book." I told her Nana was still eating. Kara got on her tiptoes, craned her neck and peered into Nana's plate to look for food. It happened to be empty. So Kara put a knowing smile on her face, nodded once and slowly said, "Read book."

Papa was teasing Aaron and telling him the thing on the back of the car was called a Nana not a spoiler. So I was explaining to Aaron that a person who spoils you is someone who does what ever you want and gives you whatever you want. Kara walked in and just heard my explanation and said, "Nana!"

Kara was being tickled and she came up with a whole sentence. "Papa you're tickling me, STOP IT!" Also, when we were listening to Along Came Jones, Kara kept repeating, "and then, and then, and then, and then, and then."

Well, some of you may know why Nana and Papa are here, but for those who don't, i had a biopsy on Friday and we were not sure how I would feel this week for Aaron's swimming lessons. Well, I actually don't feel that bad so that's good, but won't get the results for two weeks, so I am worrying a bit. Oh well. So as soon as I know the results I will let everyone know. Thank you for all the prayers and well-wishes. They made me feel so much better. If you would like to know the graphic details of what is wrong I am posting an explanation after the pictures. For those who don't want to know that much about me, just know I'm having girl issues.

O.k. the graphic details. I have been having my period every three weeks since January. I thought it was just stress but it isn't going away. In June it was every two weeks so I decided to see the doctor. I had an ultrasound and they found an ovarian cyst which was causing the pain, but not the bleeding. So they didn't see anything else so they decided to do an endomitrial biopsy to make sure Cancer was not causing the bleeding. Her other thought is that I am peri-menopausal. Woo Hoo. So on Friday they did the biopsy and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I am a bit sore but other than that fine. Just waiting on the results and where to go from there. In addition to the biopsy, they are also slowing siphoning my blood, o.k. they are just taking samples but goodness, I keep telling them to save some for me. They are trying to see if my hormones or anything else could be causing problems. No results on that yet either. So there is all I know for now. Not sure what is going on but hopefully it is something that is easily fixed. I hope that all made sense, if not e-mail me with questions. I'm not shy.
