I've got it (of course). Lost 18 lbs w/ E, 10 lbs w/ B, 8 lbs so far. Lovely. Gross. Arg.
Sweet Ben makes smoothies for me every night. Finally found one that soothes the savage intestines:
Soothie Smoothie
(Ginger Lime Apple)
1 sweet apple (mmm Fuji)
1 lime (cut peel off along one axis - leave some)
3/4" chunk ginger
1.5 c ice
1 c milk
1/3 c sugar
Put ingredients in blender in whatever form your blender can handle, zap 'em up, enjoy!
Mmmmm!
Both twins are still there. No vanishers! Yah! What are we going to do!?!?!? People watched us juggling Benjo in church last week and laughed at the thought. (Hopefully they'll stop laughing and start helping come March. ; ) And yes, once again.... this was a deliberate decision... or so we thought. Heavenly Father just had to thicken the plot with two!
Any suggestions on a great 8 passenger vehicle with excellent fuel efficiency*, reliability, and whatever else is desirable in a ride? Of course, the Sienna comes to mind, but I keep thinking there has to be some angle on this decision that I haven't thought of (BTW: Suburban's out - too gasy and I'd be too big a hazard behind that wheel).
I'll post photos again someday when we have a full-functioning computer... maybe November? = {
PS In lieu of the book I know I must write but fear I never will, I've started an additional blog. It is something I feel strongly about but is definately a large work in progress. It'll be accessible under "projects" in the sidebar.
*I do realize that at this point "8 passenger" and "fuel efficient" are mutually exclusive, but I have to dream!

I would highly recommend the Sienna! I have 3 cousins with them and they have never had problems! My dad will only buy Toyotas! So I think you should go for it!
did i know you were expecting again? either way, congratulations! four. wow. sorry you're sick. it's going to be weird in 12C without you guys.
HI, It's Collette! Got your blog address from Lori. (Sorry I had to contact you this way because I don't have your email address) Not sure if you got my previous message or not - but Hello! We are glad to see you guys are well and congrats on the previous babies and the new ones! We only have one - Brighton (7 months) and he's already a handful! I told Brian about the twins and he's happy for you too - but I told him that he'd better give some advice to ya'll (from his mom) about having twins. All I remember his mom saying (seriously) is that having 2 babies is easier than having 1 sometimes, because they always have someone to entertain each other. So...maybe that'll give you some encouragement! If not, then don't worry, we'll come over and help ya'll out. Miss you guys!
Love,
Collette, Brian and Brighton
P.S. Brian would recommend any Japanese-brand van...so Sienna would be a good choice...he likes the Honda Odyssey too. :)
Oh, could you send me your email address so I can add you to our family website? Thanks!
I also recommend the Sienna -- my parents have one, and I love driving it. It's a nice car -- Jackson loves it, too. My brothers also like the Honda Odyssey. It seems to be a good car as well.
Well, congrats I think. You can do it. How do I know? Well, God would never give you more than you can handle.(speaking from experience) It does seem like a lot with Benjo being young. Give Elisabeth a lot of tasks to help with the baby and maybe that will take a little stress off. I will be praying for you! You're incredible!
I am happy that there were no disappearing twins. I will say, you will have your hands full. But congratulations anyhow!!!! I miss you. I hope you can still come for Ben's graduation next April!
