Yes. LOVE mine. If I was only getting 1 or 2 mango at a time I wouldn't bother with it. But I'm the type that buys a whole case from the farmers market and cans them. :) Makes it go so much quicker...

nail polish rainbow loom make cookies make cards for upcoming bdays, etc. (Father's Day....)

Yeah, we watched some episode of something (TableTop??) about it. It was a good watch!!

Mine are 14 yr and 12yr... 18 months apart in age. :) I also have a just turned 7yo and about to turn 5yo. Just barely 2 yrs apart.

Googled and found 1 review for Dr. Kennedy and it wasn't good. Didn't really find much else... We have an appt set up to see Dr. Copela this afternoon. We were supposed to see him at 4. She said they are booked solid and we'd probably have a little wait. Then I got a call back saying he wants to see ds sooner, so we got bumped up. So far I'm feeling good about him. :)

Thanks guys! Yesterday started off crummy and went downhill from there. I can now scratch off 'ride in an ambulance' off my list of things I've never done ;o)

Not yet! I have emailed the same question to a couple Texas yahoo groups.

super long story short-- my 14yo will be having knee surgery this week. I have 2 pediatric orthopedists expecting me to call them in the morning. (he had an accident at my sils house involving a glass storm door and running...that's the microwave version!) I know nothing about surgeons here. One is Dr. Kennedy at Cooks. The other is Dr. Copela (I think I spelled that right..) at a surgery center in Grapevine. Both come highly recommended by the doc we had at the ER. I was wondering if any of y'all have had any dealings with either of these guys? I basically have to choose between the 2...

We have that one and have been wanting to play it!

dh and my kids play. I'm still a hold out. ;o) dh prefers to play Traveller. I've made a few characters with him, but haven't actually played any campaigns. I think we own almost every GURPS books on the market......

deep turquoise :)

We bought this house from my inlaws. They painted for us. ;)

Why? And, your uh...headlights would still shine, wouldn't they? lol

My mom graduated 4 and she stays busy. I guess there is! ;)

We don't often to salad as a main dish. When we do it's chicken caeser salad complete with homemade caeser dressing. I serve it as a side very often. All my people like it. When I serve it I serve lots of toppings. Our faves are: hard boiled eggs sunflower seeds marinated artichoke hearts chickpeas whatever fresh veggies I have...carrots, cukes (anything but tomatoes- major allergy!) olives feta bacon ...you get the idea ;)

My older ones go to bed at 9 M-F. My younger ones are in bed 8:15-8:30ish. On the weekends, we stay up later playing games, watching a movie and so on. At 8:30 I clock out for the evening and do whatever I want...bubble bath, play online, use the bathroom, eat dinner, knit/crochet.. etc.

We made it to 12.5 months. It was hard on both of us. Neither of us was ready to stop! I often tell people (somewhat jokingly..) that God was calling me to be a lactation consultant. I've dealt with so many 'issues' over the years with my kids. LOL And, nursing a clefty isn't that common, so hopefully my expirence would be of help to someone out there.

I've been to a couple LLL mtgs. I wasn't impressed. It was more of a sit and chat time for the moms. Yes, there was a topic and some talking within that topic. But overall, not that helpful. I had called them seeking help with a problem I was having. (it was baby #6 and I had nursed them all at least 12m and I was somewhat stumped with what to do about my issue with him.) I got 'uhh....let me call someone and I'll get back to you....' about a week later (of pain and misery on my part...lol) I finally got a call back. It was less than helpful. I ended up just weaning him. I was not ready to wean yet, either, but I didn't see any other option. it was about nursing a cleft lip baby and his teeth were coming in funky b/c of his cleft and the way it affected him gum, so I'm sure it's not something they really have much advice on, but still... they are supposedly the lactation experts lol

A clean house. That's all I want ;o)

The longest I've gone is about 21 months. I've done tandem (for a very short time, though...like 3 weeks..) and I've nursed a cleft lip baby. :)

Betty Crocker isn't bad. Also, a brand called Namaste is really good!

This pretty sums it up. :) We met when I was 17 and he was 23. We were engaged about 6 wks later and married 8 months later. I was 18 he was 24 when we got married. Baby #1 came when I was 19.....a month before our first anniversary. (he was our honeymoon souvenir)

vanilla and almond are interchangeable to me :)

I measure small every time. I'm on baby #8 and only sometimes measure within a week of how far along I am. The biggest 'stretch' I've had was 4cm off... My smallest baby out of 7 was 7# 10oz. My midwife said I just have lots of hiding room...because I have a long torso. I am probably no help...

I think it's probably a different # for each family. For me, after I had 4....'what's one more?' Granted, my #4 was NOT a walk in the park. It was my hardest pg and she was not a happy, easy going baby. After we survived her babayhood I felt like we could survive anything. Thankfully #5 was by far my easiest baby ever!
