Here are some food ideas for you:
1) Slice a banana (1/4" slices or so). Put the slices on a plate, and then put the plate into the freezer. Eat them several hours later, when they're frozen (not the plate, the bananas).
2) Toast some Food for Life 7 Sprouted Grain bread (it's the only Food for Like bread without soy, I think). Spread coconut oil on it (this works best if your coconut oil is not in liquid form yet). Spread some Trader Joe's (Valencia peanut) peanut butter on it (or almond butter, if you're made of money). Then spread some raw honey over all of it. Put on a plate and put into a freezer. Wait 26 minutes. Take out of the freezer and eat (the toast, not the plate). The coconut oil will be a nice hard-ish consistency and the whole thing will taste very, very good.

No Chicken Pox
It's been 21 days since exposure, and Peace did not get the chicken pox. I guess breastfeeding + chiropractic probably gave her a pretty strong immune system. Although, she did have this constant running nose for about a week, so I guess her immune system didn't protect her from that. Or, maybe the running nose WAS her way of getting the chicken pox. Maybe she got the immunity anyway.
I don't know.
I'll expose her again later and see what happens.

Why I Haven't Updated Lately...
I DON'T KNOW!
Seriously, I don't know what is up with me. Just having lots of thoughts and not feeling the urge to share them with the world (and by "world" I mean you guys).
Here are some pictures I took of Peace the other day:
I'm thinking of starting my photography business up again (very very part-time, as usual). I need to find the time to make a website. But I was thinking if I can set aside two times every week that won't interfere with Vern's schedule (like Saturday evening and Sunday morning), that might help to keep things simple and balanced. Part of what I didn't like to have to do when I was doing my photography somewhat regularly was having to coordinate the schedule with Vernon. So, we'll see about that, I guess.
I have it in my mind, my goal, that we can move out of here by this fall. Vern's business is going pretty well (I should really write about that sometime...), so hopefully by September/October it'll be steady and he'll be making enough for us to have our own place. Plus, if I could contribute some money from photography, even better.
Peace is going to turn two years old in about a month. I made one of those photo books for her from Shutterfly (because we got a coupon from Best Buy for a free one), and it turned out really nice, but boy was that thing a pain in the butt to make. I mean, it was really easy to use and everything, but just the thought that had to go into which photos to use, the photo placement, the layout, etc. Lots of work.
I wish the kids would go to bed earlier.

Obligatory Blog Update
1. Ezra lost his first tooth today. (I'm writing this here because I don't know where we packed/stored that thing where I write down memorable moments for the kids. This will help me keep track.) I took a picture, but I'm too lazy to upload it.
2. I only made it up to 81 push-ups in my 100 push-up challenge. When I tested the following week, I actually decreased in the number of push-ups I could do, so I said, to heck with it. Plus, it gets very boring doing 81 push-ups in a row.
3. I'm waiting for Peace to get the chicken pox. (Ocean and Ezra had the pox about 3-1/2 years ago.) I exposed her to someone who had it 10 days ago. The incubation period is 10-21 days, so she should be getting it any day now (it usually happens around Day 14). I don't think it's possible that she wouldn't have gotten the pox from the kid I exposed her to, the way they were swapping pacifiers with spit dangling and all. If you read this blog and you live in the Twin Cities, even if you might not know me in real life, let me know if you want some pox. They can be hard to come by, so get it when you can.
4. I've had a crush on several celebs who have had sad and untimely deaths: River Phoenix, Jonathan Brandis, and Elliot Smith. Watch yourself, Jared Padalecki. Watch yourself.
