I'm trying to keep up with my journaling. and unfortunately, for this post i don't have any pictures. however, i did want to remember this day, so i'll write as much as i can remember. :)

i signed up to be a chaperone for makayah's pumpkin farm field trip. i had chaperoned isaiah's field trips last year, and i really wanted to share this experience with makayah (and tag-along samiyah). yeah, i might've been crazy...who signs up to chaperone a preschool field trip two weeks after giving birth?! me, that's who.
i brought my baby sling along. and we drove up to the farm with mrs. t and another girl from makayah's class. when we got there, there was a huge playground with a gigantic slide...i'm not kidding, it was almost 12 feet high. huge! i followed makayah and her classmate around while carrying little mims, covered, in her baby sling. makayah loved the outside play area, and we had so much fun on the gigantic slide, running around the fort, and having a rubber ducky splash race. it was a pretty sweet place. after playtime and snack, we all gathered around for the tour around the farm. we saw the rabbits, the pigs, the donkey, the chickens, and fed the goats at the end. while the kids were running around and touring the barn, i slipped into a quiet corner and fed samiyah. then it was off to our hay ride. at the end of our fun and bumpy ride, we picked out pumpkins and went on our way home. i'm so glad i was able to chaperone, and especially happy that samiyah allowed me to without any fuss. she really is the sweetest babe so far. ;)
next up, samiyah's 2wk doctor's appointment. i was so afraid she'd be getting some needles that day, and i was about to have sam take her instead. but, in the end, i figured it was best for me to take her and be able to comfort her afterwards. so, we went. no shots. just weighing, heartbeats, measuring, and lots of smiles. whew! thank goodness. the doc said we could wait to start any immunizations until 2 months. i love my pediatrician. she is amazing.
anyway, besides, the busy morning and afternoon, i think everything else went fairly smoothly. the rest of the day was dedicated to getting ready for grandma and grandpa crowfoot to arrive. the kids were so excited to see them, and so were sam and i. they couldn't come until late that night, after isaiah and makayah were asleep. however, when the did come, they tiptoed into their bedroom and gave them goodnight kisses. :) and since samiyah was still awake, they got to hold her before going to their hotel for the night.
yay! grandma and grandpa are here!!
