So, since we've moved to Michigan, not much has happened. It's kind of the same old. Samantha has a new best friend here. Liz. She's a very nice girl and it's helping Sam not be so sad to leave "home". Tevin adores school and has made tons of friends. At 4 years old, we didn't figure he'd have any issues with that. Cadence is finally getting bigger. We had a little problem with my milk supply. I took her to the doctor here September 16 and she weighed 9 pounds, 11 ounces. I weighed her a couple weeks later and she was over 10 pounds. Then 2 weeks ago Monday we went to the doctor and she was down to 8 pounds, 14 ounces. Not good. We started supplementing with formula and a week later she was up to 10 pounds, 2 ounces. I just took her in yesterday and she's 10 pounds, 15 ounces! And we started her on rice cereal on Tuesday! She loves it. At one point, my silly sassy little girl grabbed the spoon from my hand and jammed it into her mouth. lol 
She gets frustrated that it doesn't refill itself. And she likes it thick, like the other 2 did. I'm hoping this helps her gain weight a little quicker without going through formula like it's going out of style. Man, that girl can drink. I'm thinking about contacting LLL to see if there's something we can do about my supply. I just can't seem to make enough. :(

He's now joined the decade ahead of me...the big Three-oh. Generally I save candles and signify 10's with a single candle. But for a big birthday like this, I thought it befitting that we put all 30 on there. He chose a pumpkin swirl cheesecake from Wal-Mart. It's very yummy. Generally I would have made an attempt to bake up a concoction of a cake and plague my family with it, but we didn't get home from Wisconsin until after 9:00 on Monday night. Bad weather kept us there an extra day. So store-bought it was. Doesn't it look good? And pre-cut. Who could ask for more? We had a pretty low-key celebration. We kept the kids home from school. We hadn't gotten home until late the night before and we're all kind of sick. Sam and I made him breakfast in bed around 10:30. We lazed around the house and then went to get our Christmas tree, went to his store to drop something off for his store manager, and ate at Red Robin. Then we came home, expressed thanks that the kids aren't tone-deaf, as I had laryngitis and didn't sound quite so pretty singing, and ate cheesecake. The kids were then off to bed and we sat around watching TV for awhile, then hit the sack. Such an exciting life we lead.

For Sam's 9th birthday, we got her a 
dog. He's a little beagle. His name is Baxter, but we call him Roo'er. He roo-roo's all the time. He's probably about 8 years old and deaf. That's fun. We rescued him from a pound, where he was going to be put down 3 days later. It's been...challenging, we'll say, to have another adult male dog in the house. Especially an unneutered one. But he's sweet and we're adjusting to life with him. That's him next to my itty bitty baby before she gained any weight. He's a whopping 22 pounds. lol We love him even though he irritates us with his roo rooing all night and his marking of things like the garbage can. Blah. Hopefully getting him snipped helps that problem.

Since I've been trying to work on this post all day, I'm going to publish it now so it doesn't end up sitting unfinished for months like all the other posts I've started. *blush*
