Good Things To Remember

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel!
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. You have to agree that you are 'less' and that someone else is 'more' to feel inferior. If you don't agree, you cannot possibly feel inferior. You might know something less, or you might be able to do something less, but you ARE unique and hence simply incomparable.... Do not buy into being reduced to an object of comparison."

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brillant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." Marianne Williamson

April 10th- April 16th 2011

At the beginning of the week I got the cleaning bug and cleaned mine and Ryans bedroom top to bottom! I wiped down the walls, the baseboards, moved the furniture and vaccumed under it, cleaned the blinds, the bathroom, took all the clothes out of the closet and dusted the shelves and got rid of clothes and shoes we haven't worn in a long time. Man it sure felt good when I was done. I don't think anyone could tell, but I knew it was done and it was nice! The girls were so good the whole time too. Kailee sat in Ellie's swing and Ellie sat in her Jenny Jump Up. It was nice to get such a big project done!

This week I also went through the closets and dressers in the girls' rooms and reorganized them. Man, I love to declutter!

Ellie had her 6 month Dr Appt on Wednesday and we found out she has fluid in her right ear which could lead to an ear infection. She has been so very grumpy for the past few weeks and I thought it was just because she has had a cold along with the rest of us. The doctor decided to give her an antibiotic since she's had the cold for a while and is now developing an ear infection. Hopefully she will start to feel better soon!
Ellie now weighs 15lbs, 9oz (45%), she is 26 3/4" tall (90%), and her head is 16 3/4" (50%). Growing like a weed! Kailee was soooo good during Ellie's appointment. She just sat in the chair the whole time and ate her crackers. Even Dr. Fruin was impressed! I was so relieved that she behaved well! Good job Kailee!!

After the appointment we met Ryan at the Einstein Bro. Bagels in Bountiful for lunch. It's nice that he has a job that allows him to be flexible with his lunches so we can meet up occasionally!   

The weather was actually decent on Saturday so we spent the day outside doing yardwork. Ryan mowed the lawn while I weeded the gardens and the girls played on the swingset. I love it when the sun comes out so we can spend time outside. We got a lot accomplished and the yard looks good!
