Making Sausage and more....

This past week my father and Phillip went and got all of th stuff to make "Andouille". It is a heavily smoked Cajun sausage that we are not able to get here and we all use it often. We usually try to stock up on it when any of us go to Louisiana but we have long since been out of it. My dad and Phillip love to smoke meat, grill meat, make sausage and usually don't have the time to do it. They had a blast and we will definitely enjoy the fruits of their labor in many gumbos to come. I think we did approximately 11 or more pounds of meat to make it with so we are set for awhile at least. I helped chop, mix and taste of course.

Kyle is growing like a weed. I suspect that he weighs around 12 pounds or more. He eats and eats and eats. I am nursing him for 20-30 mins at a time and then he sometimes takes a formula bottle of 4 oz right after! Katy started K-4 this week and absolutely loves it. We managed to get a picture of her with her teacher Mrs. Hollie.I have also put many pictures on Facebook for those of you that have one. I have found that it is much easier to upload a lot of pictures at once on there. Enjoy the pictures.

Blog Worthy?

Hello fellow bloggers! I promise that in the next few days I will have something on here worth seeing and hopefully worth reading. I can't seem to get into the groove of blogging these days with my new little one keeping me on my toes. Katy starts K-4 on the 20th for 3 days a week. I am torn between excitement and sadness for my "baby" will no longer be with me everyday as she has been since birth. I know it will be a wonderful experience for her both socially and educationally. We did a lot of research on this school and we know another couple in our church who have their kids there. It is a large Baptist school in town and so far we like what we see. So...when she starts school next week maybe I will have time to upload some new pictures of her and Kyle. For now...well...just a short update. We will also be starting some speech therapy with her that has been ordered by her doctor. I am not sure how often or to what extent,but we will be getting her speech evaluated at our local public school to find out. Her doctor says that he can understand about 85% of what she says and that for a four year old he should be able to understand 100%. I of course, being her momma, understand everything. We were hoping she would grow out of it but she hasn't so far. Her doctor says that usually the therapy is more effective the earlier that it is started. She has trouble saying her Y's, S's, and L's among other things. For example she pronounces "They" as "Say" and "yes" as "less", "snake" as "nake", "School" as "Cool" and so on...you get the picture. Please pray for us as we start out on this new adventure.
Please remember me in your prayers for a physical touch. I am still having some very annoying and painful problems associated with being pregnant and having the baby. You know what I mean there ladies? Well if ya don't then oh well...pray for me anyway that I will get better and not have to end up having surgery(which is what I have been told that I will have to do by my MD and several other people)I promise pictures next week. Until then........tootles!
