I totally forgot school registration for Sadie until that very day (luckily I picked Luke up from school and it happened to be on the sign!) but she didn't have all her shots nor could we find her birth certificate! So, we still have to do that. Needless to say, we then took Sadie to get her shots. I was prepared for a total breakdown because of all the pre-visit tears we had, but when it came time, she was fine. She got four of them. I don't think she would have moved all day if it wasn't for Motrin! But at least that's over. Now, where's that birth certificate??? She's started writing already and today I got my first note from Sadie (with real words that is) and I love it.
You can see the family resemblence. Even the doctor said we look alike!
I made a trip to the church cannery this week since we've been trying to work on our food storage. So we added a few chicken chunks and Marionberry jam to our storage. Yummm...we like the Marionberry jam! They were out of so many things! No wheat, rice, oats, white or black beans, spaghetti, or refried beans! The little old man there said it's mostly because people are panicking. I'll admit, seeing the cannery empty like that made me a little nervous too but we're doing alright. I'll be back when they start canning peaches from the orchard. In the meantime we've borrowed the canner from our stake and will be dry-packing some sugar and flour that we have. You can imagine how that's going to go with kids running around!
We woke up yesterday to discover that we had no water. That was a little crazy. We have a well and I guess there are a few issues with the pump and stuff...not to be too technical. =) So that will be replaced tomorrow. No water for about 4 hours but then we should be good to go! I really thought it would be worse than that so I'm happy.
Casey has his PRAXIS exam on Saturday. He's been so busy that he hasn't even studied. I just pray he knows all he needs for this exam because if he doesn't pass we'll be waiting a while for him to finish this school business. He does his student teaching this fall and the university has asked him not to work...at all. We're still trying to figure out how this is going to work but since they know what he'll be sacrificing, they've already set him up to train with a teacher that they consider to be the best mentor they have. It's kind of bitter-sweet. We're excited that he'll be with this particular teacher since Casey already knows him and knows that their teaching style is similar enough that he's going to like learning from him but not excited to go through more scraping and scrimping. You know?
Well, that's it for now. I have kids all over me. They must be hungry or something because I'm getting food and cups brought to me. You know, Luke asked me today, "You didn't know that you were going to have born such crazy kids, huh?" All I could answer was "Nooo." And then smile. It does keep things kind of fun around here. =)

I don't want to alarm you but did you read the note!? I think Sadie wants you to die, like be dead. I would be careful and keep knives and other sharp objects away from her and also any movies like Chuckie. On the brighter side of things it may say pie, but I would still watch your back.
