Reflections

Does anyone else feel like time is just FLYING by?  I do.

October is gone:

 We played with friends,

Had a major scare when Daniel and his Dad didn't come home after a hike.  A call to Search and Rescue and many hours later, they were fine...

I took a trip down to Cedar City to watch the kids I student taught take 1st in every category at the Utah Shakespeare Competition,

We had a fun Halloween cupcake night with Theatre Ed friends.  Daniel won Spookiest Cupcake...
 

We celebrated my birthday...at the laundromat.


But then made up for it by going to Vegas!  We shopped...

We saw O at the Bellagio (courtesy of Daniel's parents)

We ate fabulous food at Wolfgang Puck's restaurant
 And had a fantastic view from our hotel room (courtesy of my parents)

 I do the choreography and acting training at Park City Glee, and my girls performed on Main Street in Park City!
 
November came and went:

We got a new car!  2008 Escape Hybrid in Ice Blue...
 Pretty...

Thanksgiving break was MUCH needed.  I made turkey cookies...

We had a great Thanksgiving dinner at the Faulk residence.  Notice the fruit cornucopias I made!

Daniel and I went to see my uncle, Jason Tonioli perform as part of the FM100 Christmas Concerts at Southtown Mall.  He was so good!

For the third year in a row, my sisters and I helped decorate the Faulk family tree.  We also went with the Faulks to the Lehi Messiah Sing...a yearly tradition!

And December is almost halfway gone!

What's next for the Faulks?  A week from today we will be on a place to DUBAI!  We'll be there for two weeks visiting my parents.  United Arab Emirates...here we come!  I just can't believe that in a week we will be here:

My Birth Story--Riley James Faulk

 A warning in advance--this is really long and detailed, so if you don't want to read a detailed birth story (with pictures), then stop now!  This was an important record for me to make and I didn't want to spare any details. :) Technically the story of my labor begins on Riley’s due date: July 24, 2013.   Because I have to go back to school as a teacher very soon (my first meeting is August 14), I was desperate to see if I could use some “natural” methods to get the labor going.   So, on Wednesday, July 24 around ten in the morning I took about 1.5 ounces of castor oil, which is known to get labor kick started occasionally by basically freaking out your bowels so you have the runs—lovely.   I waited for a few hours but nothing happened at all.   Bummer.   My mother and sister came to Salt Lake and we celebrated Pioneer Day by going to temple square and having lunch at the Lion House.   After lunch I started to have some horrible pains in m...

A Blog About Love

I just wanted to spread the word about the cutest blog my friend turned me on to.  It's called "A Blog About Love." The husband and wife who write it were both previously divorced and they use the blog to share what they've learned about dealing with divorce, infertility, and most of all...how to create a happy marriage.  They also offer online classes! If you want to read the blog, they have a button titled "Start at the Beginning."  They only started the blog last year so it's easy to catch up and follow their love story.   I really like the blog because it comes from two people who have seen what does NOT work in a marriage and they have both used their difficult circumstances to make their lives better. How cute are they? Anyway, I really admire what they're doing.  The blog is a great daily marriage pick-me-up.  It gives me hope and reminds of of essentials needed to stay happy.  Check it out and let me know what you think! ...

Cedar's Orthopedic Journey!

Throughout my pregnancy, I had a TON of ultrasounds and 2 MRIs.  There have been MANY pictures taken of Cedar prior to her arrival.  Throughout all of these, doctors and ultrasound techs assured me that Cedar did not have clubfeet.  Many kids with spina bifida are also born with clubfeet--just one of those things.  I was relieved to find out that she did NOT have clubfeet, since that would just be one more thing to deal with. At these ultrasounds, many doctors also mentioned that she was in breech position (the entire pregnancy), and often commented on how her feet were up by her head, like she was folded in half.  We all laughed at her flexibility and moved on.  Regarding her breech position, doctors would often say, "Well luckily you are having a c-section, so we don't have to worry that she is breech!"  That is all anyone said. When Cedar was born, we were quite shocked when we saw her feet.  As you read in his account of Cedar's birth, Da...
