Pregnancy Brain sets in? Or am I just blonde?

Well, firstly - computer issues are sorted so... we are back online! :-)

Ok, so I have been so blonde this last week.

On saturday night, i got in the car, closed the door and my car seat started moving forward and I couldn't figure out why as I was slowly being crushed against the steering wheel!!

My CD case had slipped between the controls and the seat and were pressing on it!!

So then I tried to reverse out the driveway only to hit something, there was a trash can in the road. So I got out and moved it.

I started to drive away and the light for 'open door' was on, so I had to pull over and check all the doors. The dumb thing was... it was the only door I hadn't used when loading up!?!?!?

Finally, we went to blockbusters and the coomputer's were broken, so we left. I noticed Esther had something in her hands... she had grabbed a shrek donkey toy and i hadn't noticed so I walked right out with it! I took it back in and told them my daughter had stolen it, they didn't seem to mind and in fact handn't even noticed!

Now today, i just got home from the store. I had started off down the road, to realise....ok give me BAD parent award here... that I had just put Esther in her seat and not buckles her in, it was only a few yards but i still cried!

So we carried on driving and I realised my purse wasn't in my diaper bag it was in another bag from when Josh and I went on a date last night.

So i drove home to retrieve the purse. I got to walmart and did part of my shopping and Esther was hungry as always so I decided to pay for the banana's so she could eat one as we walked around.

Well, I opened my purse and my debit card wasn't in it! Then it hit me... on saturday I had used a totally different bag for when I went to see The Miracle Worker and when I got gas, I'd thrown my card in the bag and not put it in the purse.

So back went all the groceries and home went Esther and I. I'm TIRED! And... i have to go back to walmart this afternoon to re-shop!

Computer Issues...

We are currently having computer issues and can only get online at other locations, this is just a quick message to let you all know why I haven't replied to any emails in the last few days. I think this computer is nearing its death...

If anyone needs to talk to us, please give us a phone call. We are only able to take incoming international calls right now otherwise we'd call out, we also cannot call out long distance.

Hopefully we'll have things sorted soon!

Speak to y'all soon!!

Rosie

No!

So.... Esther has been able to tell us 'no' for a while. But now, she has added in very functionally to her vocabulary!!!!

Mommy:Time to go night night?
Esther 'No'

Mommy:Brush teeth?
Esther: No

Mommy: Time to change your diaper.
Esther: dyber?
Mommy: Yes, come here please
Esther: No

Esther: Yumyums???
Mommy:Strawberry?
Esther:No
Mommy: Banana?
Esther: No
etc etc

Mommy: Esther, show me what sounds a cat makes
Esther: No

A magical music video journey!

So, DC talk are the legends of Christian music, and I am sure we have all heard them at some point or other. Esther was sleeping a little longer today, so over my cup of tea I decided to do some searching for some DC Talk videos. I watched 'Jesus Freak'. I'd heard the song before, but watching the video is very poignant. Yes... in bits it's slightly cheesy but what can you expect from the 90's hehehe. Any way... its very powerful, and somewhat empowering and convicting at the same time.



I've watched several more... but I won't bore you with anymore for now!

Weekend...

Wow, its tiring stuff! Its HARD Too. I was there from 2:45 to 8:30 and it still wasn't over! oh well! I had alot of fun though. I definately wouldn't mind

Baby names

OK... so we already had a boy name picked out, which most of you know!

It is... Caleb Matthan

Josh has wanted a son called Caleb his whole life, I guess he has visions of them going into the promised land together hehe.

Caleb means 'Loyal and Faithful Servant' and Matthan means 'Gift or Hope of the Lord'

And for a girl... we struggled because we wanted something with a biblical root, but it also had to match well with Esther. Oh and we are not trying to go with all 'E's it just happened that way... both are Hebrew, and begin with E...

Elisabeth Aylin

Although we are not sure whether it with be Elizabeth, but I think the s looks pretty. Oh and I haven't decided whether Aylin will be Aileen, but... either way its prounounced 'Ay - Leen' - it means beauty.

Oh and Elizabeth means 'God's Promise'

So there you go... either Esther Rose Brown and Caleb Matthan Brown
Or Esther Rose Brown and Elisabeth Aylin Brown
