The never-ending skills of my Mother

A while back I saw an item called Size It Closet Organizer in a baby catalog called One Step Ahead and thought how useful this would be for me in the new baby's closet. I mentioned the item to my Mom and she very creatively found a way to make these. I love these and if anyone is interested in the how-to, let us know.

3 years, 1 month

I call Emily my little inquisitor this month or "Curious Georgeina". I really should keep a tally of how many times she asks WHY in one day. She really does keep me on my toes.

It's amazing to watch Emily's imagination run wild. She recently began picking up stuffed animals or dolls and carrying on full length conversations with them. I'm excited to see what conversations she will try to have with her brother in a couple of weeks.

This month she received some new toys from the Grandparents and has had a blast playing with them. Mommo brought back A Barrel of Monkeys game and some Silly Puddy from her trip to the Velvet Ice Cream Factory in Utica, OH and Gimmy and Pappy brought back a snake from their visit to Montana - yes, a fake one, although Emily would probably love to have a real snake someday.

8 months and growing

Well, we're getting closer every day. Only 7 weeks left. It has been a lot of fun feeling movement every day and wondering what part is where, but I am ready to see this little guy in person.

Seafoam

Over the part couple months I have treated 3 vehicles with an engine treatment called Seafoam. This stuff is really amazing. First me and Dad added it to his truck. His truck isn't really that old, so we didn't notice that much of a difference.

A couple of weeks later, I ran a can through my wife’s Jeep. The results were really impressive. The engine idles smooth again, the throttle response was quicker, the throttle was smooth. Gas mileage was up a little too.

After a couple months I finally got around to adding it to my truck. I have experienced the same results with it as well.

I recommend it to anyone who has over 100K on the odometer, or their vehicle is a little older then most. I would also recommend it to anyone who is having engine running problems with their vehicle(s).

It's very easy. 1/3 of a can goes in the vacuum line, 1/3 goes in the engine oil (keep in there till you regularly change your oil) and the remaining 1/3 goes in the fuel tank. Run it through the vacuum line while the engine is running and warm, then shut off immediately and let sit for 10-15 minutes. While it;s sitting, put the remaining Seafoam in the Engine oil and fuel tank.

After 10-15 minutes, start your engine up. It will run really rough and should smoke (a little or a lot) for a couple or maybe even several minutes.

Enjoy.

"His Life for Mine"

Very touching song.

Zoo visit with friends

Rather than duplicating the same information, I'm sending you to the Snyder's blog to hear about our recent visit to the zoo. My Mom, Emily, Meredith, Jack, Kayla, Noah and myself all piled in my parents van and were on our way. If you look closely you'll see my big belly in 2 of the pictures.....yes, 2.
