Flarp and Geotrax don't mix...
Have you ever heard of Flarp? It is a moist gooey substance sold in a plastic container. You may ask, what is it used for...well as you squish and squeeze this gooey ooey stuff, you can make it sound like flatulence to put it nicely. My son received it in AWANA Cubbies last night for bringing a friend.
Well the first incident occurred on the way home when Tirzah and Azariah got it all over their hands and had a hard time getting it off. Then I looked up this morning to see Azariah vigorously shaking his hand to get the stuff off and Flarp was flying off his hand onto the carpet. I don't know what happens to this stuff when it dries out, if it does dry out. Well I had him put it up at that point for a while. Later they decided they wanted it to be a pond under their Geotrax train. I said no they could not put it on the carpet. How about the vinyl floor in the kitchen. No to that also because it would get really dirty. I can't imagine playing with Flarp and feeling little pieces of last weeks bread crumbs and jelly in it. Tirzah than got out a board that we color on and asked about using that. I said O.K.
They then set up the Geotrax Remote Control Train. They did not put the bridge over the overpass so they could see what would happen when the train fell into the "water". It went well for a while...until I had to spend thirty minutes getting the Flarp out of the wheels of the train so that it would work again. I failed to caution them about Flarp and wheel bearings.

And her name is...
Talitha Anne
Talitha means little girl. When Jesus went to raise Jairus' daughter this is what he said:
Mark 5:41
Taking the child by the hand, He said to her, "Talitha kum!" (which translated means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!").
Anne means full of grace.
So her name means: Little girl full of grace

Zeb shows her some affection.Our Baby Arrives
On Tuesday, February 19, 2008 at 3:30 AM I felt like I might be in labor. However, after 3 false alarms between January 21st and February 15th I was a little skeptical. I waited a couple of hours and then felt like this really was the real thing. I called the Midwife at 5:30 AM. He comes from Montrose about 1 1/2 hours from my house and his apprentice comes from Gunnison 2 1/2 hours from my house. Giving them plenty of time to arrive is crucial if you actually want the midwife at the birth :-).
We set up the birthing tub and waited. I didn't want to take a walk until the midwives arrived because I didn't want to have the baby come before they arrived. They arrived at 7:00 AM. Didn't want to go for a walk because my contractions were pretty painful at that point, but I did have to stay on my feet or they would really slow down. So after they had all their stuff set up and ready to go I decided I should probably eat breakfast. At about 8:00 AM I started making omelets. Neither midwife had eaten so I made each of them an omelet and myself one. By this time I was in great pain and did not feel like eating. I got into the tub about 9:00 AM and to my husbands great delight he eat my omelet for me :-). I had taken one bite and decided it wasn't for me...
Then at 9:29 AM our little girl was born. It went very well...O.K. lots of pain, but isn't that why the Word of God says in John 16:21
Soon after the birth.
"Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world."
Our wonderful little girl weighted in at 8 pounds 1 ounce. She is 20 1/2 inches long. Her head circumferance was 14 1/2 cm.
