I will also make my entries private. I know ya'll understand! If you are not on my Friends List and would like to be added, plese give me a holler! 2007-10-26 http://www.pleonast.com/user/all_gods_children?l=5&entryID=449098 The fires are still growing in Southern California. My folks are fine, but there are many around them and in the congregation that have been evacuated. My folks say they can see the flames on the hills surrounding them and the air quality is very poor. Please keep them in your prayers. Good sweet friend Jamie Wilson is trapped at Pepperdine. I'm not sure of the details of why she was unable to get out and go home, but she is in need of your prayers. Our Miss Maggie, is safe home for the time being. ============================================================ Noah is 3 now. We had a fun-filled birthday for him. Last Saturday, we took him on his first train ride. So, it wasn't a real train, but close enough. We took BART to San Francisco and walked down Pier 39. He got to see the sea lions and the ocean and even came home with a souvenior Trolley! What a fun day! ============================================================= Today is United Nations day. Noah had his first pr... 2007-10-25 http://www.pleonast.com/user/all_gods_children?l=5&entryID=445159 Sean will be traveling to downtown Atlanta, Ga. I was wondering if anyone knows of a sound congregation in that area? Just got this family photo from a friend. This is our most recent photo. Thought I would share! We finally have rain! It's just a drizzle, but I am so happy! The Lord provides! Hope everyone is having an awesome day! 2007-10-16 http://www.pleonast.com/user/all_gods_children?l=5&entryID=443527 Tuesday night I got my annual haircut. Yes, that's right, annual. It's bad. I truly don't like paying a lot of money for getting my haircut, and I can ~always~ think of something else to do with my time. It just hit me with this last haircut. I'm not a blonde. I've always been blonde, born/raised... Now I've come to the road in my life where something else has changed. Seriously, there's a name for blue/green/brown/yellow/gray eyes, it's called Hazel. Is there really anything to describe dirty blonde/light brown/red hair? (and a little gray...shhhh...don't repeat that) I think I'll have to invent one. If you could invent a name for hair color that isn't one true color, what would it be? Can you have hazel hair? 2007-10-11 http://www.pleonast.com/user/all_gods_children?l=5&entryID=442468 Okay, nothing much to post, but thought it was time to put something else on my blog. Sean and I got a call last minute on Friday evening inviting us to the LPGA Tournament at the Blackhawk Golf Course. This is a beautiful golf course and only 20 miles down the road! It turned out to be a beautiful Saturday and the Tournament was a lot of fun! I am not a player. (yet..) Sean is working on it! Apparently there were a lot of Rookies this year, but wow they really know how to swing a club! ~whoosh~ I've really taken a liking to Lorena Ochoa. She is amazing to watch! (besides, I like her outfits too!) Okay, so that's the girly side of me talking...hehe. We are planning on joining our friends and go to the Pebble Beach Golf Course to the AT&T PGA Tournament. Sean talks about this golf course a lot and how pretty it is. He's played there before with Tiger Woods brother. Anyhow, it really sounds exciting and I hope we get the chance to go! (seeing how it's only down the road from u... 2007-10-09 http://www.pleonast.com/user/all_gods_children?l=5&entryID=440213 Trying to cut out carbs. Sean is on a no carbs diet and I want to be supportive and do it with him. I'm running out of things to prepare. He's done this diet before about a year and half ago, and I had the same problems then as I do now with preparing meals. (breads, corn, potatoes, pasta, and rice are out) These items become the staple for meals. It's not yummie, if you have a roast beef with veggies and no potatoes. (at least I think so) And Jambalaya is always perfect with rice! How can you just cut out the rice on a dish like that? The meals are starting to repeat themselves after 4 days. hehe...I'm at a loss. Any suggestions or recipes? Side Note: I know nothing about fish or seafood. Sean likes some of it, but the rest of the family doesn't like it. 2007-10-03 http://www.pleonast.com/user/all_gods_children?l=5&entryID=434536 Kyle broke his thumb playing football at school during recess time yesterday. I don't know what his Coach has been telling him, but I do know that they are not supposed to play football anywhere else. (of course non-supervised) Kyle will be in a cast at least for two weeks, who knows how much longer. On a seperate note, here are a few photos of last weekend. We went to a park in a nearby town to hear a couple of bands play some 60's and 70's music. They seemed to like the beach boys, because they played a lot of beach boy music. We had a fun time! 2007-09-19 http://www.pleonast.com/user/all_gods_children?l=5&entryID=433656 Myspace Graphics at 123glitter.com Yes, my big boy is playing football this year. He loves every minute of it! He plays Corner back position and has been Captain of his team! He's learning more and more about the game and his Coach really wants to put him into some other positions, because he thinks he will be a verstile player. I'm just happy he really likes football. Kyle is excited to be wearing his Papa's old number! (#42) I asked Kyle what he enjoys more, Soccer, Baseball, Karate, Wrestling, or Football. He said it was a toss up of Wrestling and Football. Guess he can do both! I think a lot of football players wrestle too. Football seems to be the main sport in the family. (besides a little college basketball! but my children will never be tall enough for that kind of sport!) Haha...the picture is Kyle's "game face" Okay, so one thing I really don't understand or like. All, yes I said, "ALL" of his games are on Sunday. No we don't miss servi... 2007-09-17 http://www.pleonast.com/user/all_gods_children?l=5&entryID=428558 So Middle Man is not doing so well. This is his second week and last Friday he had a major melt down in the hallway. Screaming, lots of crying, throwing himself on the floor, the works. Today, was exactly the same. I understand that we had a long break and having such a long break is hard for him to adjust to going back to school. It's like starting back to square one. I had to leave the school with one of his teachers holding him and he's screaming as loud as he can and crying. My heart ached. I stood outside the school to give him some time, and for him not to see me. After 5 or so minutes, I could still hear him while I was standing outside the building! I debated on going back in and just taking him home, then some of the Mother's came up to me and helped me with my decision. They said for me to just walk away. The teacher will handle him and he will calm down after a few. They have my number and will call me if anything is wrong. I feel horrible, I don't know what to ... 2007-09-05 http://www.pleonast.com/user/all_gods_children?l=5&entryID=425041 Yes, my Middle Man is starting school today. I am very excited for him! He's ready to meet his new teachers and play with his classmates! He is enrolled in a Montessori School and will be only a part time student. I'm excited for him to be in a structured and tactile environment. He will be in a class of 3-5 year olds. He will be 3 in October and is pretty verbal for his age, so I know that he will not have any problems communicating with his friends or teachers. If anything, keeping him quiet is the hard part! My kids talk, morning, noon, night, and even in their sleep! I can't get them to shush. hehe... I realize this can be a good thing at times, however, it would be nice if they can learn to whisper during church services. Since I realize this is not Kindergarten or 1st grade yet, I am not an emotional wreck. I don't know how I will be when that time comes. Questions...
