Please e-mail us

Hi,

Kurt thought he had all our e-mail address book backed up when he reinstalled everything on our computer, but we can't find them. Would you all e-mail us so we can have your addresses again? Thanks!

Levi is one month old now. He slept last night from 12:00- 5:00. Yea! He is a bit colicy still but we manage fine. He seems to like the swing, being in the car seat on top of the running dryer, and be rocked the best. The other kids have been able to play outside a lot because it is so nice.

My sister Lisa and our cousin Tom Allen are stopping by to visit this afternoon. They are coming from Omaha to see Gma Jeanne and Gpa Mo. Saturday is 4-H and Sunday the church is having a baby shower for us. Next weekend the kids will go to Atkinson to visit the Kliewers. Kurt, Levi and I will go the Lincoln's homeschool convention.

Natalie's birthday was fun. We made homemade pizza. We took the cake and presents up to Gma J and Gpa M's place to surprise them and include them in the party.

I am feeling good today. Some days I am very tired and my fibromyalgia acts up. This week was the first time I had to cook since Levi was born! We had 4 weeks of meals given to us!

I have an hour to straighten the house so I better get going.

Love, Angie

just things

Hi,

It is 2:00 in the afternoon. I am eating breakfast and lunch and wearing my pajamas. :-) Caleb is shooting bad guys in his room. Natalie is playing with cars on the treadmill. Hannah is reading missionary stories. Kurt is at work. Levi is in the swing.

We all love Levi and are having fun getting to know him. He loves to be held and talked to. The girls are learning how to change cloth diapers today. Levi is eating every three hours but sometime going longer at night. He likes to sleep in the swing.

I really am getting enough sleep. I feel a bit loopy from disjointed sleep but I am doing really well. The big kids let me sleep during the day when Levi sleeps.

I have not had to cook at all yet. We have meals from friends and family. I just go to the freezer and get something out for supper every day. When we do go shopping we don't need to buy much so that makes errands so much easier! I did take all the kids to Wal-mart yesterday. On Saturday the big kids stayed home to watch a movie. Kurt and I took Levi to run errands and go to the mall.

Levi had a check up yesterday. He is now 9 lbs 14 ounces, and 22 inches long. He is a bit colicy but we bought gas drops yesterday and those really seemed to help him last night! We were all actually in bed by 11:00.

We have started some school this week. The kids can do most of it on their own and it keeps them occupied. Kurt's quarter ends next week. His new classes start the first of April. He will be home at 10:30pm Tues. and Thurs.

My heart feels so full it might burst. God has blessed us and I am thankful! I am amazed I am healthy enough to have had another baby!

Now Hannah has joined Natalie at the treadmill and Levi is crying....

Love you all!!
