Whew! The Christmas whirlwind is over! Tyler did especially well this year and all I have to say is I hope we don't get this much stuff every year for every kid because there is simply no place to put it all! that being said, of course, he LOVES every single gift he got!! I've posted a picture of what the dining room looks like. As you will see we don't use it as a dinning room!! What you can't see in the pictures is the drum set that had to be taken to the basement already! :) The picture is of him playing it at my grandma's house. The last picture is him in his Thomas blow up train that came with balls! I'll try to post more family pictures this weekend. We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and we look forward to a Happy New Year!!

A special Thank You to Marie who is faithful to read and comment! Some days I feel I only do this for the two of us Ree! But that's ok. :) To others who may read, I hope you enjoy keeping up with us!
Tyler has developed some new personality traits the past few months in addition to his terrible two routines. He's becoming a climber for sure... He's still pretty obediant though and has kept off of all the restricted furniture. :) I think when the baby comes his big gift will be some sort of climbing apparatus (if we sell the house of course) that can be put outside or brought into the basement during the winter. We've started to learn about obeying and still working on the Jesus loves you thing. He seems confused by the endless Jesus being born stories we read and tell him and the information that there is a baby in my belly. :) He does kiss the baby and is getting better wtih being gentle and not kicking me as much but clearly he really does not get it and I don't expect him to. We dont talk about it much (only when he's being too rough) because it's still so far away and frankly he's just too little. He started to do a crazy dance yesterday wher he basically bounce/squats and runs at the same time stopping occastinally to swing his arms and clap. It's the funniest thing iv'e seen in a while. While I still have no doubt about the sinful nature at birth thing Tyler has reafirmed my faith in the ability for people to have compassion and selflesssness. Tyler's happy sweetness was evident from when he was born. he just always seemed to have a contented and happy look in his eyes and when he started smiling, his whole face smiled- sometimes his whole body! He'd wiggle and sqirm with delight when someone he loved was near and talking to him, later he'd jump and soon enough the running arond and showing off came. Now that he's learning better to speak in sentances he's begun to show concern and compassion. No matter what I'm doing if I make some sort of odd sound or drop anything he comes running and asks me "You alright?" or "You hurt" If I say I have a little owie he tells me to brush it off and gives me a hug or kiss or grin, sometimes all three. Today he drove his train into a door and when it wouldn't go anymore he bent from the waist, cocked his little head and said. "Train. What are you doing? uh oh! You hit door! You okay?" It just was so cute I had to write it down. Last night I didn't feel well and told him I wanted to watch "mommy TV" and he could play by himself or watch with me and he did a little of both. He may not be able to count objects correctly or care very much about sounds and letters, but he's learning and I'm learning too. I love him to bits and I'm so thankful for him, and for friends that I can share the joys of my life with.

Dear Non-Pregnant Person, I hope you find these guidelines helpful in your interactions withpregnant women as failing to follow them may result in serious physicalharm. If you are thinking, surely she doesn't mean me- then you shouldprobably read this twice. 1) The appropriate response to a couple telling you they are having ababy is "Congratulations!" with enthusiasm. Any other response makes you an a$$. 2) Through the wonders of science, we now know that babies are madeONLY by the mother and father- not grandparents. Unless the baby is in your uterus or you are the man that helped put it there, you may not ever use the phrase "my baby". 3) On the same note, unless you made the baby as defined in ..2, thepregnancy, birth and raising of the child are not about you. You donot have input. No one wants to hear your opinion unless they ask for it. 4) The body of a pregnant women should be treated the same as any otherbody. You would not randomly touch someone's stomach if they were notpregnant, nor would you inquire into the condition of their uterus,cervix or how they plan to use their breasts. Pregnancy does not remove alltraces of privacy from a woman. 5) Likewise, no women wants to hear comments on her weight- ever. Apregnant woman does not find it flattering that you think she is aboutis pop, must be having twins, looks swollen or has gained weight in herface. Telling her she looks too small only makes her worry that she issomehow starving her baby. Making such comments invite her to critique your physical appearance and you may not act offended. The only acceptable comment on appearance is "You look fabulous!". 6) By the time we are 20-30 years old, most of us have picked up on thefact that the summer is hot. We are hot every summer when we are notpregnant. We don't need you to point out that we will be miserably hot before the baby comes. 7) There is a reason that tickets to L&D are not yet sold onTicketmaster. Childbirth is actually not a public event. It may sound crazy, but some women really do not relish the idea of their mother, mother in law, or a host of other family members seeing their bare butt and genitals. Also, some peoplesimply feel like the birth of their child is a private and emotionalmoment to be shared only by the parents. 8) Like everything else is life, unless you receive an invitation, youare NOT invited. This includes doctor appointments, ultrasounds, labor,delivery, the hospital and the parents home. You do not decide if youwill be there for the birth or if you will move in with the new parents to"help out". If your assistance is desired, rest assured that you will beasked for it. 9) If you are asked to help after the birth, this means you shouldclean up the house, help with cooking meals, and generally stay out of the way. Holding the baby more than the parents, interfering with breastfeedingand sleeping schedules and making a woman who is still leaking fluid frommultiple locations lift a finger in housework is not helping. 10) The only people entitled to time with the baby are the parents.Whether they choose to have you at the hospital for the birth or ask for you to wait three weeks to visit, appreciate that you are are being given theprivilege of seeing their child. Complaining or showing disappointment onlyencourages the parents to include you less.
the latest on Tyler... He is a freaking poop factory! What is going on with my child??? I can't afford that many diapers either!! I really want to wait until after the hoopla of Christmas to even think about trying to potty train.... He's eating LESS fast food too!! In other news he's FINALLY developing a love of books. It may not ever be a love like mine but he doesn't view them as only blocks to stack and climb on and fall off of. He now looks at books on his own, especially if I'm reading something and he MUST have at least one (usually 3) bedtime stories. The Library has come in really handy for this! I've been trying to read mostly Chritmas books and he seems to like them. He now talks about "baby Jesus" which I'm sure he's confusing with the baby in mommy's tummy that he kisses...he also loves "santa" and "snowman" and "Christmas tree lights" (which is now pronounced "bi-bis-a-gee-i-eets") At least once a day he is adament about wanting something and I can't for the life of me figure out what he's saying. This tends to cause great dramatic trauma. :) This usually ends with distracting him with one of the many things that always calm him down- either playing with Thomas or watching something on TV. He's been doing this fake tantrum thing which gets him a one way ticket to time out where he continues until he either calms down himself or agrees to the alternate activity we offer. At least twice a day he trips over his own feet or falls off of a chair or the couch and acts like he's dying. If I pick him up he'll hold onto me and fake cry hysterically. He scrunches up his face and just goes "ahhhh" or "oooohhhh" and cries for mommy, daddy, tops (grandpa Pops), or mamatops (grandma). He likes to peek and check to make sure you are concerned and if you laugh at him he giggles and then gets louder and sometimes produces tears. I try to just tell him to get up and brush it off before the crying starts and then we are ok. One of his favorite words is cookie. My response of "no" when he asks for cookies and juice at 7:30 a.m. also causes tears. Ahh... he's caught onto the ways of a two year old. The question is do I have the energy to deal with this stuff the way I should? They say the patterns of defiance in toddlerhood revist in the teen years. I guess he'll be whiny teen like I was. My mom will be thrilled.

FINALLY... the Buckeyes are to play Florida. I'm just glad they finally decided... this BCS thing is rediculous. I can't believe I even care. What has Gary done to me? So last night I got to go to Malone College's Christmas Concert. It was WONDERFUL! It was in the building where we go to church, but the church is moving and today was our last service! Anyways, the concert was so so good. I got to go with my mom and some family friends. It was nice to hear singing and the band and not have to think about writing a paper for humanities or be listening for mistakes knowing the director would ask what I thought. I only knew one person performing and there was no pressure for me to watch only him so I actually got to just sit back and enjoy it. Not it feels like Christmas is officially coming. Back to the church thing- it was a very nice service today and I'm looking forward to being in the new building next week. I pray Tyler adjuts well! Our house has STILL not sold though there have been 2 interested parties. I'm trying to look at it and remember that God is not up in heaven wringing his hands together wondering why it hasn't sold and when it's going to and how we are going to pay for Christmas presents or the trip to California we have planned. He's got it all figured out. As usual I'd like the courtousy of a post-it warning but I suppose that takes the "fun" and the "trust" out of it. :) I think I've developed allergies now. I can't seem to breath out of my nose but it doesn't run unless I sneeze and then once I blow it everything dries out again...I'm only allowed to take Sudifed and I'm out. I held a jar of Vicks up to my nose for an hour while I watched TV before bed last night. Pathetic but it helped! I'm sure there is more worth telling but I can't think of anything. Too much energy is going into breathing at this point... Enjoy the picture of Tyler in his favorite Mickey coat and the new hat and mittens from Uncle Josh and Lia! If you think it's funny you should see him in his heavy coat! It's Randy all over again!

Well, today Tyler and I had special time together for the second saturday in a row. It is really a blessing to be able to spend extra time with Tyler while giving Heather a chance to to out with frinds last week and her family this week. This past week at work was an absolute bear ending with the school districts super intendent resigning. After all the craziness it was nice to relax and play with Tyler. I so often wonder what is going on in his mind. How nice it was when life was so simple. I pray every day that Tyler will get to know Jesus and give his life to Him. That way when he gets married and has kids he will have the same person I have to lean on and look to, Jesus. I cannot imagine going through this life with out knowing Him. We are truely blessed. Well I am going to get ready for the big OSU and Michigan game. My prediction is ......... OSU 38 -- Michigan 21. Go Bucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday I had a girl day!! It was SO fun. I left late of course due to the fact that I have not had to wake up, shower and put myself together with a deadline in so long! I also realized that I could not do my makeup in the car like usual because I'd be driving... then Tyler cried when I left. It made me so sad but a little happy that he loved me enough to want me to stay and play. :) So I drove over to the outlet mall and met my friends and we went into almost every store! I got 2 maternity tops for myself and 12 Christmas gifts! I'm on a ROLL! We had lunch (Subway- eat fresh) and then shopped some more and then we went to a mall! It was a lot of driving for me but it was nice to have not only some girl time to visit and fellowship, but also some alone time! I could crank the music to whatever I wanted and put the heat where I wanted and control the windshield wipers myself....it's the little things in life isn't it? On a side note, Tyler got some fabulous toys for his birthday and some money for his college acount. He got several Thomas the Train items that he loves and the new Tickle Me Elmo and I've got to tell you that it is an awesome toy!!! The technology in that thing is just unreal. Thankfully my dad didn't get mugged on his way from the store to his car. :) Now it's off to my mom's for her birthday!! She's 29 again! In a couple years we'll be the same age... i always wondered growing up how that would work so I guess we'll find out!

Why is it that the less there is going on in life the more tired we are? Is that just me? It must be because of all the extra emotional "crap" I'm dealing with on top of being pregnant. Today we had what I am calling a 3 hour vacation. We had a 'warm' sunny day and Grandma called and asked if she could take Tyler to the park and to play in the leaves at their house. DUH!! YES!! We litterally just layed around and watched TV but it was so nice! We actually could turn up the volume and visit at the same time! :) It was a much needed break for us and a much needed outside outing for Tyler. Gary's watching the browns and from the sigs and "what the" or "geez" comments I"m hearing I'm guessing they are playing badly or making stupid mistakes or both. Thank goodness for Fantasy Football or Gary would be lost on the sport entirely (NFL- College he loves) :) I"m already starting to think about Christmas. Last year we waited and waited to go and ended up rushing around last minute buying just about everything in a single weekend. That made me crazy. For me the fun of Christmas is thinking about those I love and trying to find them something they need and would never buy themselves or just something fun that reminds me of them. The fun is also in the reactions I get- trust me, you usually don't get much reaction from gifts you buy last minute SO i'm planning ahead! I've got my list together and am working on my card list too. It's time to begin planning my cookie baking! I just love Christmas! In other news Tyler will be 2 on Thursday. I'm just in shock that my little baby isn't a baby anymore. Now all these new illustrations of independance and need for control can be explained by the "terrible two's". I'm worried about what happens when there are two of them. Sometimes I think i'm a pretty good mom because Tyler is such a good kid overall. Then I start to think about not having the time or energy to train the next one. And what if Tyler's just created to be good natured and it had nothing to do with me? What if the next one is a terror? What if I never sleep again!?!? I look at Tyler and realize in the end, I don't care. I will love these kids with every bit of me until the day I die no matter how they behave. Sure, I want them to be good kids. I want it to have helped them that we've made so many sacrifices to keep me home with them. I want it to make a difference in thier lives and for them to appreciate it the way I appreciate my mom. Yea, the next one will prolly be crazy and Tyler will learn lots of bad habbits i've protected him from, but that will be another joy of parenting....something I've always wanted. :)

Tyler in his stroller at Geneva Collge Homecoming 2006. Lori and I "Roomates Reunited!" Gary and I in our booth at the Brig where we started dating and got engaged! Even with renovations, it's still there!
I found a peek-a-boo game on Elmo's World in the Sesame Street website. All you have to do is push any key and the characters jump out and say stuff. He LOVES it. He also likes the racing game on the Thomas website. He's going to be just like daddy!
Our family and Grandma Bush's work Halloween party. We HAD to get the (expensive) Thomas costume!
Where have I been?!?! It's been almost a full month since I last wrote and I'll tell you, I've been on the couch. I think the only muscle left in my body is my tonge and my heart. :) (Kidding mom) I got sick of saltines and moved onto pasta and grandma's sauce for a week, then that got gross, so i moved onto cereal but the milk was never tasting quite right and now we're onto onion bagles with margerine. With Tyler I didn't touch a carb for 17 weeks, this one it's all carbs and fruit. I did make chicken the other day and it was really good. Tyler is growing like a weed in spite of poorly made lunches and dinners on my part. Thankfully he loves cereal for breakfast and that rarely makes me sick. He's talking more and more every day putting sentances together and starting to put his sounds together better too. He loves to look at books by himself now and is more into Thomas and cars than ever. Most of the batteries in his noisy toys have died, I figure they must be made to last about a year because we are getting close to his birthday and Christmas when he got all this stuff. :) I'm NOT replacing the batteries mostly for my sanity and his hearing. Gary's still loving the new job and I do love being home. I'm bored a lot but we got Dish Network last week so my boredom is different now.:) Funny, I can watch the cooking shows but can't eat...I must be going to have a difficult and moody girl like I am. My mom will be so glad. Paybacks and all.... I'm 11 weeks tomorrow and praying that in the next 2 weeks i get that energy spike everyone talks about. I can't take feeling lousy AND my pants not fitting for very long! I'll try to post some recent pictures and thanks to all who leave comments! I love knowing someone is reading! Also, sorry that this particular entry is so boring! Hopefully the pictures are worth 1000 words. :) Love and Blessings!

Thank the Lord for saltine crackers and jello!! Its all I want to eat until about 4:00. Then I want tacos and burgers and chicken sandwiches and subs. It took a little longer for my 'morning sickness' to really hit full force but I think Monday night was the beginning of the end. With Tyler all I could eat was fresh fruit and veggies- no dip. Nothing fried, no carbs... if you know me at all you know those are the things I live on! Life without sour cream and ranch dressing and potatoes and bread and pasta is just not living! This could be why I am no longer a size 2. Right now the hardest part is making food for Tyler. I bought this pancake mix the other day to make pancakes for Tyler becaues he LOVES them and they are easy. Of cours I bought the cheapo kind and it was so gross! I could hardly stand the smell today! Now he's eating spagetti o's something I can't stand pregnant or not. Thank goodness he's eating his milk and grapes- a little something healthy... The big question now is... when will the morning (all day) sickness stop? Will it end on the morning of my 13th week like last time or go on and on and on?? Thank the Lord also for Thomas the train videos!! Especially days like today when he doesn't want to nap!!!!!!

Another good week in the life of a Bush! Thursday was my birthday and cards, phone calls, emails and myspace comments made me feel very loved- Thank You. Gary surprised me by having flowers delivered to the house- ILOVETHEM so much! He also surprised me by taking me out on a real date! Friday Gary's parents took us out for Mexican to celebrate again- YUM! Then Saturday we got to go to Josh's house for the big OSU game which I actually watched ALL of! It was really fun to get another night out right away! Tyler stayed with the Bush's and they tell me he was good. Today I got to go shopping with my girl Lori and we had a great great time! She always makes me feel a little less lonely! Gary's new job is going very well and he's SO much less stressed. I think a combination of increased salary and being more comforable in our neighborhood helps a great deal. I wanted to let you know that we have this site set up so that you can leave us comments and let us know you read. You don't have to have a blogger account to do this so give it a try. If it doesn't work let me know so I can fix it. I also want to say that today especially, our hearts are with those whose lives were changed forever when they lost someone on September 11, 2001 or in the war that has followed. I cannot belive it's been five years. I cannot belive that days go by without me thinking of it... and yet there are those around the world who barely can go an hour without thinking of it. Our hearts weep for you.

Unsupervised Ravioli Lunch- Nuff Said
We had another wonderful and FULL weekend! Friday night I don't even remember what we did now because it seems so long ago...I'm sure it included eating fast food of some sort because Gary got the biggest paycheck we've ever gotten in our lives. :) Saturday we slept in!!! Tyler slept until 9 and so did I but Gary only slept in until 8. He's on a working man's schedule now. Then we got the car loaded up and drove down to the "Cabbage" to spend the day with Gary's parents. Tyler did really well considering it rained most of the day and he was inside a lot. Gary's mom, as usual, fed us to overflowing with great food and we just got to spend some time as a family. I also got to start the book I've been wanting to read- another novel- and really enjoyed it. We decided to drive home that night so we could go to church Sunday and we did. Nothing makes me more homesick for our old town than church. I think that only in church do I face with absolute certainty that we are here now and not going back. I do too much comparing our old church to this one we visited. It was a good service though and we had communion. I've always loved communion Sunday. After that we went to Applebees for lunch and I had the quesadilla burger. Oh My Gosh. That was the best burger EVER! Then we went to Big Lots where I got a bookshelf for 10$ to put Tylers toys on and then back to the cabin/cottage/cabbage. Josh and Lia (or Lea) were there with a bunch of friends, and also some other family and friends came for the cook out and we got to go out in the boat! Poor Tyler has to wear this life vest that is coast guard approved and it is horrible. He can't even reach his hand around the thing to his face to eat or drink, he can hardly see anything and can't climb very well. He gets very frustrated and, like me, when frustrated, he's not easy to be around. We went home again at Tyler's bedtime and Monday gary went to work while Tyler and I played. THEN Gary took me to the MALL!!!!!! I got two tops- one at Anne Taylor, one at learner and paid around $15 TOTAL including tax. Shopping is my best sport. Then we went to my mom's for dinner with my family and it was so fun! I got a candle and book from my mom for my birthday and got to visit with my grandma and great-aunt a lot. My mom's cooking is so good. It's no surprise I don't feel good today with all that eating I did this weekend! Today is the first day of school for Gary. He's been working a month to get all the computers ready and I pray he has a wonderful day!

Saturday, September 02, 2006

Just had to get on and say GO BUCKEYES!!!! We had Tyler in his #7 Ginn Jersey today and he looked so cute!! Now those Fighting Irish better get it together and pull out a win!

So I have been reading a book about marriage lately and I have really learned a lot from it already! It's called The Four Seasons of Marriage by Gary Chapman. He's the guy who wrote the love languages book and I actually like this one better so far. It's a little harder to get through, but i've taken several pages of notes already! In my studies of marriage in the bible, biblical principles and especially this book I'm learning that just because my parent's marriage failed, does not mean mine has to. It's true that my example of a Godly marriage was flawed, but everyones is. I'm learning that when I see something wrong and Gary doesn't, that still means I need to do the work necessary to be the best wife I can be. Right now that means identifying where I've failed Gary as a wife, confessing those things to him, and allowing him to really forgive me and move on. I don't have to live in guilt nor does he want me to. And vice versa. I need to really forgive Gary and move on. One thing I don't do well is start fresh every day. Here are some quotes I wrote down. Winter season- "What brings a marriage here? Rigidity- the unwillingness to consider the other person's perspective and to work toward meaningful compromise." This season comes not because of what happens in life, but 'by the manner in which a couple responds to those difficulties.' I'm going to work hard to stay out of this season! Fall- It takes both partners to move from fall into spring (the season of growth and hope). It takes only one to get it into winter. I've got to be strong and do the work so that I don't pull Gary down with me. One strategy he discusses involves forgivness- "remember, forgivenes is not a feeling. It is a decision to lift the penalty for past failures and declare the spouce pardoned. Forgiveness does not mean that you will never think of the event again, nor does it mean that you will never feel the pain that accompaines the memory. Forgivness does mean that you will no longer hold that failure or hurt against your spouse." What if your partner won't forgive you? You forgive them anway- for every single thing they have done. "Following Biblical strategies is the most powerful way to influence a nonparticipating spouse." "The goal of marriage is that husbands and wives voluntarily serve each other, helping each other reach thier potential for God and promoting good in the world." Some good stuff huh? The best part is, Gary and I are in a place where we can talk about these things and I WANT to forgive him. I WANT him to reach his potential and I WANT to do all the work we need to on our marriage even with everything else going on in our lives. I DON"T WANT to wait until our kids are grown and out of the house to turn to Gary and realize I don't even know him. I don't strive for these things because of my fear we will end up like my parents, it's because of the Hope I have and the knowledge that we CHOOSE TOGETHER a different path.

Tyler got a haircut last week and he looks hysterical. The lady forgot to do the very bottom of his hairline in the back so when it's wet he looks like he has a rat tail! I hate it! Gary needs to help me cut it with his new razor. Tyler and I went on a 40 minute walk today and this guy mowing his lawn stopped to wave and talk to Tyler, then he yells to me "I like kids." I said "That's really nice." Then I kind of thought to myself that maybe he means he likes to eat them or something. Then I decided I watch way too much TV if that's how my thought pattern went! We also went up in to the rich people neighborhood and this one house had a Uhaul truck and trailer as well as a 53' SEMI infront of it! Now you think we have too much stuff? We could not have had all that! They had at least 2 maybe 3 moving men too. Oh what bliss... to just pack the boxes and make other people move them and load the truck... oh wait... that's what I do! I just get friends to do it and pay them in food! :) Now I have to go and figure out what I'm going to wear for my drivers lisence picture today....

Tyler in his jammies on our deck! Posted by Picasa
We moved AGAIN! Gary has yet another new job and so we moved again. This house is our cleanest and most organized yet! We have less space than the last house but the layout is better for us. It's cleaner because I left most of our stuf packed away. :) Tyler is growing like a weed and recently got a haircut. He talks up a storm to anyone who will listen. He loves Bob the Builder, Sesame Street and Veggie Tales. His favorite activities are going for walks, playing outside, playing with his tools, balls, cars and buckling any buckle he can find- car seat, stroller, booster seat.... he's very mechanical! I'm enjoying my scrapbooking more and more but miss my friends. We are searching for a new church to get involved in too. The Lord has greatly blessed us! Pray our house in Mansfield sells SOON!!! Posted by Picasa

Welcome to our family page! Tomorrow is the first day of May and I can't belive how time flies. Do you realize that on the 9th our little "monster baby" will be 18 months old?? I can't believe how the past years have gone so quickly! In 10 years he'll be almost a teenager! What will I do?!?! :) Gary began this blogspot while I was frantically trying to finish some projects for an online class I took this month. Due to my obsession with emails, myspace, blogs and the internet in general I refused to allow him to tell me where it was or how to get there! Today I finally got him to show me (I got a 100% on that class by the way) and so here we are! The sad news is that we will have to cancel the internet soon... I"m trying to get him to give me one more month... but we all know how that goes... the same arguments and pleading will continue month after month... So... I plan to visit his work and the library so i can keep everyone posted on the goings'on in our lives. APRIL 2006 This weekend we got to take our first trip to "The Cabbage" My in-laws have purchased a small cabin on a lake and we got to go to it. They couldn't decide wether to call it a "cottage" or a "cabin" and so somehow it turned into the "cabbage" and I have a feeling it will stick. It's adorable, but Tyler wanted nothing to do with sleeping at night when he could be outside or with the puppy! Earlier this month my dad got married to a wonderful woman named Lynn. I posted a picture of my dad and her at her house. I don't have the wedding photos downloaded yet... they are on a DVD somewhere around here... I also posted a picture of her two younger daughters. Tyler had an Easter egg hunt at great-grandma Kandray's so there is a picture of him with his basket as well as one of he and Pops going through the eggs. Today we are busy getting some landscaping, cleaning and painting done because we plan to put our house up for sale this week. Pray we sell quickly and people don't mind the clutter and dust bunnies. :) Love to all, Bushfamily
