Our Day

Today, we had church. My handsome and growing stepson gave his life to the Lord a few years back but has been hesitant to be baptized. We've had a lot of conversations about it and today, he leaned over the Jason and said, "Dad, I want to be baptized, next week." We just were so excited! I wish we had a picture, but it happened so fast, I just didn't grab my camera. I will have pictures and video from the actual baptism, though.
 

I am just so happy for him - he has really chosen the Lord and has chosen to hold His word in His heart. He is very serious about his decision and even though it took him a little while to decide on baptisms (which take alot of courage!) we know that his decision is a solid, wise one that God led his heart to. If you get a moment, pray for him this week, will you?
 
Then, there are these little girls. Man, they are both messes individually, but get them together, and you are in for it. Avery won't keep her hair up to save her life. It aggravates me to no end, not because I want her hair to be picture perfect, but because it's CONSTANTLY in her face. Drives me crazy.
 

 
This little munchkin played in the sprinkler and kept taking "showers." She is such a joy with her gorgeous smile and personality!!

 
She kept telling me "Cheese!" Think we stick a camera in their face from time to time, or what?


 
I tried to get a good picture of Avery (who is swimming like crazy), but she kept just wanting to spit water out of the pool.

 
Oh, Sophie. You are my crazy child.

 
And I did get a few action shots of the powerful athletes in action, which I will be sending off the Sports Illustrated shortly.

These are some great shots I got of some fabulous looking kiddos!
 

 
Tell me he doesn't look 20, here.

 
She is loving every minute of swimming these days!!

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me.   "$61,000" she said.   I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head.   As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee.   I can't believe I just said that.   It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...

That "Thing" in That Basket Isn't a Baby, You Know That, Right?

I have had the most horrible case of writer's block lately! With that said, I saw this article on Babycenter and I just had to write something about it.   So, we've heard of the trend of eating the placenta after birth . We've heard of the trend of putting them in pill form to get the nutrients . But this? This to me, is just the craziest of them all.   As a group of beings on this planet, I've never seen any other mammal who evolves to get to a certain place, then de-evolves on purpose, to be more "natural." I am sure I am seriously about to put my foot in my mouth, I am sure there are (some) people out there that I might offend with my "closed-mindedness" on this topic. But this is just, well, ridiculous to me.   Basically, after the placenta comes out, instead of cutting the cord and detaching it from the baby, you leave the placenta on, they salt it to help with the decomp process, add rosemary (I am guessing for the smell?), then p...
