Last Nursing

Well….Bupba is weaned… not by his choice, but by mine. 
He is doing pretty good with it, he only has asked a couple of times and I have just offered hugs and kisses and cups of milk or juice. I decided with my doctor to wean him so I can start a new medication to help with my ADHD. Over 2 years of scatterbrained days is quite enough for ALL of our sanity’s sake.
We had our final nursing session the other day on the couch. It was nice, a peaceful moment between us as every one else was still sleeping. I grabbed the camera and took some photos of us with our last nursing to have them to remember our wonderful 20 months of breastfeeding.
Just wanted to share it here. I’m still feeling sad that we ended it now, but I’m feeling satisfied with our 20 month run, and that we both ended it on a positive note. He is such a sweet child.
This is my favorite picture of the photos I took.

Flower!
The only one of our 5 sunflower seeds that we planted grew into this! I don’t know if there is enough time to get very many seeds before frost comes, though.

Happy Birthday Mom

The summer seems to have just flown by! But it always seems to be the end of summer for me after my birthday.. We had lots of fun all July and August so far…with beach days, playing in the backyard on the slide, guided walks in the parks, exploring life and the world around us, we have not had any time to stop and blog much at all.
The kids are getting old enough that I have upgraded (or downgraded, I’m not sure?) to being called “Mom”
My Birthday was on the 13th of August, and the boy fed me cheerios by hand (an 18 monther’s version of breakfast in bed) and Butterfly made me a cake. Her very first, of which she is very proud, as you can see by the smile in the pic below.! I did the gathering of ingredients and she did all the work (aside from hot oven stuff)
The result was a delicious lemon poppyseed bunt cake with lemon icing, topped off with 32 sprinkles just for me 
Helper boy got in on the action and licked the beater
It was a good birthday
Onyx & Diamond ~ March 17th – June 1st~We miss you
by Mamaoftwo on June 2nd, 2006
They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
But, we never wanted memories,
we only wanted you.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold spaces
no other could ever fill.
Onyx, above was our black beauty. We will miss them both.
Loved and missed as well by Topaz.
