This is one of my favorite songs and when I saw this video I was blown away by how good these girls are. Especially when the one girl started beat-boxing.Katie, Rachel -- i know you'll appreciate this.

Yeah, Ryan may be older and taller and have more hair, but can he fly a fighter jet?

I was just having fun playing around on the internet when all of a sudden I heard this rather odd sound. "What could that be?" I wondered and when I turned my head, this is what I saw.

...and Kefa is still cute. Even when it's two o'clock in the morning and he's screaming because he doesn't want to go to bed even though he's SO VERY tired.

So, the day started off with me entering into a new level of motherhood. I was laying in bed with Kefa, having just finished feeding him, and the night before having been a late night I was a little tired. So I was playing with Kefa while simultaneously trying to rest my eyes and the next thing I know is this loud THA-THUMP!!! My eyes rush open and I realize one thing-- Kefa is no longer in

This is one of the most funniest things I've ever seen. I remember when I first saw it years ago... I couldn't stop laughing then either.Ah, the good ol' days of late night British comedy.

So, have you noticed how everything on "my" blog lately has been about Kefa? I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that I really don't do a whole lot outside of taking care of him. No, nothing to do with it. Nope. *shakes head* Not at all. Uh-uh. I'm so not going on about this now because I don't have much else to write because I don't do much else besides take care of Kefa. Nope.

Yay! Kefa likes solid foods again! After a few weeks break I started feeding him solids again this past Friday. So far he's liked both the bananas and the sweet potatos. Pictured here is sweet potatos.

Kefa is offically half a year old today. Well, not *officially* until 5:17 this evening, but whatever. I have the day right anyway. So yeah, he's six months old and he's getting big. He's still small as far as weight goes, being only around 13 pounds I think, but he's gotten pretty long. He's definitely got his Papa's metabolism, because he's not so skinny for lack of eating. But what I

Kefa can just about get his whole hand in his mouth...And since I missed a week, here's an extra pic...As you can see, Kefa's taken to sleeping face down. He's too cute.

We decided to start feeding our son solid foods a couple weeks ago and this is the video of his first time eating "real" food. He seemed to like it then. Not so much now. Maybe seeing this video will encourage him to try again.

I was just having fun video-taping my son and all of a sudden he started sliding out of my lap. And like the good mother I am, I kept the camera rolling.

Remember in my last post how I talked about Kefa's goal in life being to roll off of whatever blanket I put him on? Well Friday night we were letting him roll around while we were watching a movie and when I got up to refill my drink he was on his back. When I came back half a minute later he was like this...My son's got personality.

Kefa's goals in life:1) Sleep well.2) Eat well.3) Pee well.4) Poop well.5) Play well.6) Roll off of whatever blanket Mom has put me on.See what a large blanket covered area I put him on? Actually, that green rectangle is a sheet. I started using the sheet because that safari animal covered square stopped fencing him quite some time ago. I have them both pictured for effect."Hmm," Kefa thinks,

While I'm thinking about it and since I just got some new pics on my 'puter, I'm going to go ahead and upload one of them even though it's a day earlier than the officialy declared "Picture Day." It's not like I didn't forget to do this last week anyway.

...and I didn't have batteries for my camera! We went into the gift shop and you know how much they wanted for two double-As? 14.99. They were some kinda special lithium batteries or something...but still. $15? I don't think so. So we don't have any pictures from Kefa's first trip to the zoo, but just know that he absolutely loved it. We stopped by Stuie's Place for dinner afterwards, and

And it doesn't bother me one bit. It's kinda fun, actually. It's amazing the things you find to entertain yourself when you become a mother and your entire life is wrapped up in and scheduled around this little person that has entered your life.

Dear Kefa,We get to celebrate your second month birthday one day before the 29th this month because, well, February just isn’t cool enough to have more than 28 days except once every so many years. It doesn’t matter much though. You’ve been growing fast enough this month to more than make up for the missing day.Right at the beginning of the month you finally started stretching out and it’s rare

Dear Kefa,It has been a tradition (for what I’m sure has been centuries, if not millennia) of mothers everywhere to take time out of their day to sit down with pen and paper to share their thoughts and memories with their children. Of course, in this day and age, we have now sped up the process with fingers and laptops, but the end result is still the same-- a documented account of a child’s

Well, it's been quite an eventful week around here so I thought I'd post an update. For starters, the time leading up to 5:17 PM, 12/29. Reuv and I packed our bag on Thursday and I was admitted into the hospital that night. Because it was a planned thing it wasn't stressful at first, except for the fact that I really wasn't sure what to expect, but because I had all kinds of tubes and wires

Presenting....Kefa Alexander Hill!Born Friday, December 29, 2006 at 5:17 PM and weighing in at 7 lbs 10 ozs, 20 1/2 inches.That's my little man! I don't have to give him back!

Well, it's not quite baby time yet. The results from that lung maturity test said that Kefa wouldn't be ready to come out this week so he gets to hang out in that little swimming pool in my abdomen just a little longer. I was somewhat disappointed because I was all ready to see him face to face, but we only have to wait one more week so I guess I can handle that. =0)If y'all could be praying for

It's been decided. They're going to induce my labor. I'll go in this next Wednesday (the 20th) so they can stick a big needle in my abdomen in order to get some of the amniotic fluid out to check and see if Kefa's lungs are mature and if they are I'll go back in Thursday night so they can start the final process and so sometime on Friday, December the 22nd, little Kefa should be here!YAY!!! *

So guess what? My doctor is talking about inducing my labor. In two weeks. Can we say wow? Emotionally I'm ready for him to be here, but practically... Oh my gosh. I have so much I need to take care of. You know, little things like what insurance he'll be on and who his pediatrician will be. Is the car seat safe and ready? Thank you cards for all the baby shower gifts. Our room is a

The fact that we're having a baby was made even more real to us just yesterday afternoon. We were at Wal-Mart looking for a bigger portable dresser, i.e. one of those plastic three-drawer storage things on wheels, because the one I was using before was a bit too small. When in response to my thinking that I could continue using the smaller one even though the thing was so full that it was

So, it's been a while, huh? Yeah... Ever since I quit my job and no longer had the need for something to help me pass the time I've been kinda lax in my blogging. *shrugs* Oh well.But let me update everyone on what's happened in the last six weeks. We moved out of the Lund's and moved into my parents. Reuv's temp assignment ended. And we've been working full time on our ministry. That's

My son is already cooler than I am.

Well, it's official now. With the second sonogram I had done today we now know for sure that the baby is a boy. And everything is happening on schedule. At this point (20 weeks) he's a healthy 13 ounces and his organs are developing nicely. With me being a diabetic we will be watching the baby's weight carefully, watching to see if he'll gain a lot of extra weight that has come to be expected

...you go to the bathroom, even when you're not really sure if you need to go or not, just for something to do.After five months of not working, the boredom has finally kicked in. Good thing I'm going to have a baby soon, huh?

I officially started my 17th week this past Friday so I'm now officially in my fifth month, which is a little weird to think about actually. I'm just about halfway done with this pregnancy and I still feel like it just began. I can't wait for the little one to be here. Well, you know, he's here...but....not. Anyway, last night we subjected a friend to our wedding video and in that process we

Well, had the first sonogram today and there's definitely a little baby in my stomach, and quite an active one too - just like his Papa. And yes, I did say "his". We don't know for absolute certain yet, but from the looks of this sonogram the lady running the machine said that her guess was that the baby is a boy.So, without further ado...the pictures.I was amazed at how clearly you could see

I went to the doctor today for my first visit during this pregnancy. It took so long to get in because we were working out insurance issues (trying to get on Medicaid), but it all worked out and I had a great visit. Everything is going well for me and baby and my doctor estimates that I'm actually in my thirteenth week, a week further along than what the little online pregnancy calculator

and still pregnant. I've just been EXTREMELY and CRAZY tired of late. Hope every one is doing well. See you next time I actually wake up and have enough energy to get out of the house and go somewhere where there's internet and the brain is working well enough to type. That is to say...see you in a couple of weeks!Maybe...=0)

We finally thought up a boy's name the other night so now we have a name ready for the baby whether it's a boy or a girl. =0) Yay!If a boy: Kefa Alexander. (Kefa is the Hebrew version of Peter. The full name means something like The Rock Who Helps Mankind.)If a girl: Hannah Nastasia.

I took a pregnancy test last night and I'M PREGNANT!!!At the moment I'm still in shock. Not that I wasn't expecting and suspecting this for the past week or so, but now that I've actually tested positive it's a little hard to actually accept that it's real. I didn't have as big of a smile on my face this time around. I'm not absolutely overwhelmed with joy. I'm in shock.I know it's just a

Okay, so I was tagged last month and I did happen to see it earlier this week but I'm just now getting to it. Like I said earlier, blogging just hasn't seemed to hold much interest for me now that I'm not working and I have so many things I could be doing that I end up just bumming around anyway. But, here we go...*~*~*~*Four Jobs I've Had:* Cinemark Tinseltown Concession Stand Operator (I was

It's a day before May and I'm sitting here in Starbucks waiting for a friend to show up so we can chat and hang out and do whatever. Not a whole lot has happened in the couple of weeks since my last post, and then again so much has happened that I can't really remember it all. We've been keeping busy.Reuven started a job assignment last week and that was definitely an answer to prayer. We were

Hey! Look! It's my B Day! Not just A Day, but the B Day. (Okay, okay, I know. Trying a little too hard there, but you'll have to just forgive me. It is my birthday after all.)It's been a good one. Got to sleep in late, played on the computer for a few hours, my family came to visit me and they brought me one of these...Yup. I got an iPod Nano (the sweet black one) for my birthday. My

So it's been a while, huh? Yup, I've been pretty busy. Doing what, I don't know, but all the same I haven't really had time for posting. Well, time really hasn't been the issue, it's more like "hey, this is my first two weeks off of work, I'm just gonna relax and play and do whatever" kinda thing and since we got our new Mac...yeah. I was planning to begin getting on a schedule and getting

Ah, those four wonderful words to let me know that OUR MAC IS COMING!!! I placed the order last Friday, it actually shipped last Friday, and according to the multiple emails I received regarding the order we should receive our 15" PowerBook G4 as early as the 21st (which, yes, happens to be tomorrow) or as late as the 23rd as long as nothing weird happens. Which means we too will get a present

Just thought I'd let everyone know I'm still here. Haven't been around online much because I've been playing with all the cool toys at my parents house, but I'm sure that will wear off eventually...P.S. Since I've been driving Reuven to and picking him up from his job in South Dallas, I feel like I've initiated myself into the ranks of city commuter. I've seen all the big pretty buildings of

I recently discovered a girl on Xanga that, interestingly enough, knows both my sister and the Lund guys. (Isn't it cool how we're all connected on the internet?) Over the past few days I've really enjoyed reading what she's had to say, and today was only different in that what she wrote spoke to my heart instead of just my head.Check it out.

Yep. I'm back. And I'm happy to say that the whole teeth-pulling experience went off without a hitch and was practically painless. I even drove myself out to my parents' house that same afternoon. So yeah, I basically had two free days off of work and a very long, very relaxing weekend. It was great! Thanks to all those who were praying for and thinking of me. God has proved Himself good,

And I'll probably be there many, many times after, even after the movie comes out on DVD next Tuesday and I buy it.Now a little more good news:We got another email from the lady in Kiev who has been helping us with figuring out how we would be able to get my insulin in Ukraine.

I have to share this with you: God is awesome and He's going to take care of us in Ukraine.A few nights ago, Reuven had a very encouraging dream. In it he was talking to Valentin, the head of MJBI in Ukraine, the guy we'll be working with, and telling him that we were having trouble figuring everything out that needed to be figured out in regards to making it over to and living in Ukraine.

Hello, my faithful blog readers! It's been a few days since I last posted and I really don't have anything in mind to post now, but I just wanted to have something else this week. So, here I am, rambling away, hoping to have at least a couple paragraphs worth of post material.On the work front things have been pretty steady, if not downright busy, which in part accounts for my lack of posting,

A few weeks ago I was playing around on Eli's Mac, piecing together some loops in GarageBand, when I thought it would be fun to see what music he had in his iTunes. It was then that I happened upon this one particular song that instantly, both with the music and the lyrics, lifted my spirit. And, yes, it came from an unexpected source - Frou Frou. I'm going to quote it here in a minute knowing

My mom emailed me this picture because someone else emailed it to her and she thought it was funny. So, I really don't know who to give the credit to, but I thought everyone who happens upon my blog would appreciate it regardless.

So I had another diabetic episode this past weekend. It took us about three hours Sunday morning to get my blood sugar back to anywhere near normal and for most of that I was really out of it. I was conscious, which was a step up from the episode that I had on the second morning of our honeymoon, but that's not really saying too much considering that for a good while I didn't have total control

I just had to post the really cool moment when I was sitting at a gas station with Eli's Mac playing on the internet while my husband was putting gas into the car. How cool is that?

"Are you here for a pickup?"These were the words of the pharmacist just a few short moments after we drive up to the CVS pharmacy drive-thru window. Okay, well, maybe those few short moments were actually closer to a full minute and maybe by that time we could have been in an out of the store with what we needed, but neither one of us really wanted to get out of the car at that point in time and

After ridding himself of the irritating contraption known as his computer, Woodrow mistook Spongelo as another such contraption that needed to be got rid of.

Remember how I mentioned that something strange was going on in the corner of my left eye? Well, by the end of the afternoon it was hurting so bad that I felt like throwing my head through a wall to end my misery but in the end I had to decide against that course of action because of the monstrous headache I already had. My eye looked so bad that my boss even asked if I had pink eye. Well, I

Well, out of one hundred and twenty-seven photos I ended up with twenty-three favorites. But, don't worry. I'm not going to post them all here. *grins* I did create a set over at Flickr though, so, if you're interested, click the pic and see my encounter with wonder.

Yay! After however many tries this morning and early afternoon I can finally log in to Blogger again! Of course, I really don't have too much to say except that yesterday I got to leave work four hours early so I could drive out to Rockwall to get the brakes replaced on our car. It's always nice leaving work early, even when it's just to run an errand and not necessarily do anything fun. But,

Remember Evan? The little one seen in this post? He made my day this past Saturday. Generally every Shabbat around lunch time I'll have an opportunity to hold him and it will generally last for a good hour, at least. Well, this past Shabbat was no different. I see his mother holding him and I walk up to them both and start doing the whole "baby talk" thing. This particular time he gives me

Yeah, so while I was busily working away *cough, cough* (excuse me), I began to hear the low hum of a conversation going on and when I looked up from my work *cough, cough* (excuse me again) I saw Woodrow the Pirate speaking with the Aflac Duck. Apparently, he's considering getting some extra insurance and so was discussing his options with Aflac. He seemed particularly interested in the

I knew my husband was thin, but sheesh! Look at those pant legs! They're like little sticks. Less than that even.=0)This caused us much amusement, even if no one else seemed to get it.

One of my coworkers just came up to me and apologized for, in her words, her "tirade" she had yesterday before she left. I can't really describe how this makes me feel. I was surprised. I was in a moment blown away with admiration for this person. I was convicted of my own little tirades I've had, which weren't exactly as public, but just as bad.In that moment she bore more fruit of

Yeah, so around 4:45 this afternoon Cynthia comes in telling us to be careful if we have to go to the bathroom. It took a minute for us to process what she was saying, but once we understood we all jumped up and looked out the door.We saw this. The giant puddle that came forth from the men's restroom.

Well... Now I can breath a sigh of relief. I just turned in my two month notice and as of 5:00pm March 10, 2006 I will no longer be employed.Man. I'm glad that's over with.

On the way to work today Reuven asked how Woodrow was doing.I'd say he's doing fine.

Okay, after taking like thirty pictures (and soon thereafter deleting pretty much all of them) I finally settled on this for the front:and this for the back:I call the blurry one artistic.

I got my hair cut and it was totally worth the $42 dollars that I didn't actually have to spend because my mom-and-dad-in-law were so cool and gave me a gift certificate. Yeah, I figured since everyone else was doing it I better keep up with the trend and get my own hair cut. I like it. My head feels so much lighter now and I'm not constantly swatting hair out of my face or off my shoulders.
