I think I am having Kentucky withdrawal! It is at least in the 80's here every day, no horse racing, no tailgating and we are still going to the swimming pool! The trees are palms not trees full of Fall color. BUT we are still having lots of Fall fun. Sidney LOVES pumpkins and get's so excited when she spots one. We have been able to get outside more since it has been cooler (maybe 75!) in the mornings. We found our Halloween costume and took our first trip to the Houston Zoo. We are looking forward to our trip home and our first Halloween here when we return.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Sidney loved the zoo!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg36PgXY_L9DINYKtft29md1z5GMrXO4yRV1Aoh81TlgJtu6ZbehhQO3ZIjr2Wg6pVz5nOHP9bGOjcx0GBb1qI_oZl1XdsKVjK_uiulrMprfN-1l5VIHdw1I554CcpkhQDCQffIp5DhwNcF/s1600/DSC_0032.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg36PgXY_L9DINYKtft29md1z5GMrXO4yRV1Aoh81TlgJtu6ZbehhQO3ZIjr2Wg6pVz5nOHP9bGOjcx0GBb1qI_oZl1XdsKVjK_uiulrMprfN-1l5VIHdw1I554CcpkhQDCQffIp5DhwNcF/s400/DSC_0032.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5661684251217704818" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Petting the animals was her favorite!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjQWPd-tF_h2HVX3H87PVoZGtOG6eijgEQK2b25umj_j-nDlkxNoGoyHTV7FZyGQRrhz-l6Ecy3-9RjCtBZRrQmpx5BRJ1yhHZPrQU97oerZijxKYLDv6XUjymhD1vp-u26Ugu0K1Vrsdc/s1600/DSC_0101.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjQWPd-tF_h2HVX3H87PVoZGtOG6eijgEQK2b25umj_j-nDlkxNoGoyHTV7FZyGQRrhz-l6Ecy3-9RjCtBZRrQmpx5BRJ1yhHZPrQU97oerZijxKYLDv6XUjymhD1vp-u26Ugu0K1Vrsdc/s400/DSC_0101.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5661684248089929298" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">First week of October in Houston.

In spite of the rainy weather and our very crowded house, we had a blast. Such great memories. Sidney had just started her Elmo obsession so I went with the Elmo theme. I loved her dress!

I met Jordan, their Mommy through JR League. We had a blind lunch date about a month ago. I know that sounds funny but we literally had never met before and had only spoken through email. I am so thankful the date went well ;) We have had fun meeting up at the Children's Museum and seeing, "The Help" kid free! I am looking forward to starting JR league together and more play dates. Charlotte turned 1 and Carter turned 3. Sidney had a great time at the party, which was at the Nature Discovery Center. She loved the bunny and of course the lemonade and cupcake!

<br /><div style="text-align: center;">My baby is so big! She is my little buddy and we have so much fun. She is more active than ever. She loves filling up her purses from anything she can find around the house. She is starting to dance and loves listening to music. She still LOVES books and has an amazing attention span when listening to them. She has taken an interest in her baby dolls but Elmo is still her fav. Her favorite food is now applesauce and grilled cheese sandwich. This month was exciting because we took her to the beach for the first time, which I will post about later.</div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">We went to our new pediatrician for Sidney's 15 month old checkup. I wish I could tell you what the Dr said but I have no clue.I was deafened by Sidney's crying and could not focus on anything! As soon as we walked into the office she started clinging to me, grabbing my hair, holding on for dear life and screaming. It was as if she knew what was coming! She did not calm down until after the shots and blood work. I think she had worn herself out from the tantrum! Daddy was able to come at the end of the appointment and meet the Dr. She was calm by then of course. She never acts up for Daddy! We had a good report and are so thankful for a very healthy baby. She is still in the high percentile for height and low for weight. She is still only 22 pounds! Crazy for a 9 pounder at birth.</div><div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>I can't believe it's time for back to school already! For me this year nothing is changing, which I am very thankful for. Since Sidney has had separation anxiety lately I can't imagine having to leave her at a new place. I do plan to have more of a routine and schedule around our house though. We now have our set activities and are getting some what used to Craig's CRAZY hours. On Tuesday we have Bible Study. It's a group of mom's all with young children. Half of the time we end up just talking and it's great! Sidney goes into the Kingdom Kids Nursery and she is starting to enjoy it and play with the other kids. Wednesday we have our play group. There are about 12 girls and we take turns hosting. So far we are meeting lots of nice people! Thursday we have Song Play, which will be starting next month. It's at church also so Sidney is really starting to recognize some familiar faces. So, that leaves Monday and Friday open. Those days usually turn into pool days or play dates. So with all that business I guess that's why I can't believe it's mid August!<div>
<br /></div><div> I saw this idea at Keeping Life Creative. Even though my little one is not in school yet, I thought this was adorable. Being a former teacher I would have really appreciated this cute gesture! </div><div>

She seemed very excited when she saw the train. Once we got on she was not sure what to think. She started pointing to trees, ducks and of course her favorite, cars! Despite it being 200 degrees she had a blast! Herman Park is right behind the Texas Medical Center aka "Dada's work." The Houston Zoo, Miller Outdoor Theater and several museums are also in the park. In true Texas style, it's huge! It has some very pretty areas. We are looking forward to going back when it cools off.</div><div style="text-align: left;">

Until now. I am not sure if it's from being around me and only me lately or just her age. She won't let go of my leg, panics when I leave the room, won't stop crying in the nursery at church AND acts crazy when other children even approach her. After several attempts at church I just wanted to break down and cry. I wanted to give up. I know that's not the answer. I don't know what is but I just have to keep trying. Ugh! So frustrating to see her so sad!

I thought it would be tedious but it's MUCH easier than running around trying to figure out what to make at 5. Found this on All Recipes. It was delicious! So easy. Especially if you already have some chicken made. I think it would be good with onions and bacon added. Might try it next time. <div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; "><img width="250" height="250" class="recipe-photo" id="imgPhotoImage" alt="" src="http://images.media-allrecipes.com//site/allrecipes/area/community/userphoto/big/33150.jpg" style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px;

Ha! Most of the population fails to realize that the average cost of medical school is nearly 200,000 dollars. And, when my husband is finished he will be pushing 40 and spent 15 years in training. This is the first year that I have stayed home. Our reasoning was that we felt it would be the best choice for our daughter and our family. When your husband works 13 hours a day that leaves you with the bills, laundry, cooking, cleaning, house maintenance, childcare, organizing schedules, car maintenance,going through mail and did I mention cooking and cleaning? Shew. So, I had no time to work. And,when you consider the cost of childcare in Houston my teaching salary was not that beneficial. <div>It is going to be a long hard road but I am determined to save money. My first goal in our family budget is the food bill. The first thing we have done is cut back (nearly cut out) eating out. It is hard but when you do eat out it's more rewarding! The second thing is to plan my meals ahead of time and spend less money each week at the grocery. I am learning that this takes serious time, effort and planning. Especially since I am not familiar with the stores in Houston. My starting point is to keep track of how much something costs at different stores. Then I will know where to go for the cheapest price on commonly bought items. To make it easier I have picked 3 stores that are closest to my house. I am also wondering what a good realistic budget is to feed a family of 3. Does any one have any ideas of a realistic food budget or other tips to save money at the grocery?</div>The Alexander Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12885015353359712637noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365787598369917769.post-79416113910763953942011-07-15T11:55:00.000-07:002011-07-15T12:11:35.396-07:00Say No to No!After teaching preschool for 7 years I already understood the importance of not saying, "No!" Once Sidney was mobile I found myself saying it several times one day. I have since then made a conscious effort to "no saying no" at our house. It is difficult when you see your child about to make a huge mess, hurt themselves or hurt something in the house. I read somewhere that a toddler hears no about 400 times a day. Not only is it negative, but it weakens the meaning of the word. I am trying really hard to use redirection and positive reinforcement and save saying, "no" for emergencies when she is really is in danger. I found 2 helpful articles today and I thought I would share them.<div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.askdrsears.com/topics/discipline-behavior/18-ways-say-no-positively">18 Ways to Say No Positively</a></div><div><a href="http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/parenting/7-discipline-mistakes-all-moms-make-2509433">Mistakes Moms Make</a></div><div><br /></div>The Alexander Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12885015353359712637noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365787598369917769.post-40960097028070126512011-07-13T18:14:00.000-07:002011-07-13T20:36:41.679-07:0014 months old!<div>Sidney is 14 months old today! She is so much fun and has the cutest personality. She is a very happy and active baby. She loves swimming, Elmo, music, taking walks and putting her toys in any hiding spot she can find. She can say, Dada, car, ball, dog, quack quack, mama, hi, circle and is starting to repeat more and more words. She loves to run and walk on her own. Her favorite food right now is banana. Her activities right now are going to the library and checking out books, going to music class and going to see her friends in the wobbly walkers nursery at church. We are going to say goodbye to the bedtime bottle this week... wish us luck! We are a little behind but we are ok with that since the move through us all off a bit. Her 15 month checkup is next month. I am very excited about her new pediatrician. Living near the biggest med center in the world definitely has it's perks! <div><br /></div><div>Here is a picture of me and my little buddy this time last year.</div></div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgABFTERLVcdTlgshsLfCoP58RbNNRqMI6gNfM5bFxn6bSyQw5peK3Qh5vRBKAtHlBaeR_9WtRGUI0JHalGO0j1vIh15NXAg6HdLb6F5EHqp9_Q-RdKedRFb82Gq18y_oEwhohXYKjNgUf1/s1600/DSC_0162.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgABFTERLVcdTlgshsLfCoP58RbNNRqMI6gNfM5bFxn6bSyQw5peK3Qh5vRBKAtHlBaeR_9WtRGUI0JHalGO0j1vIh15NXAg6HdLb6F5EHqp9_Q-RdKedRFb82Gq18y_oEwhohXYKjNgUf1/s400/DSC_0162.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629013109385376466" /></a>Here is a picture from last week.

All the boxes are unpacked! I actually sat down yesterday and took a breath. My first impressions of Houston are:<div>1. HOT</div><div>2. Terrible bugs</div><div>3. Flat</div><div>4. Not pretty like KY</div><div>5. No KY sports here or horses :)</div><div><br /></div><div>Ok, so those are all negative. But true. On a positive note Houston has:</div><div>1. Palm trees</div><div>2. Shopping (any store you want)</div><div>3. Mexican food</div><div>4. Great parks</div><div>5. Great museums</div><div><br /></div><div>We have not gotten settled at all other than getting the house organized. This is mainly because we are living with 1 car. Horrible! Craig started his job last week at Texas Children's Hospital, which is the biggest pediatric hospital in the country. Wow! On his first day we dropped him off. Sidney did not want to wake up and was a grump all day. Then when he was done it was her bedtime so you can imagine how that went. I have let him take the car since then. So, we have been stuck in the house. I mean stuck. Nowhere to go and nothing to do. We can't even venture outside due to the 100 degree temps. So our first priority this weekend is to buy a car! </div><div><br /></div><div>We have been attending a church that we really like and Sidney is going to start a music class there next week. I have signed up for the JR League transfer class and it starts in August. So I feel like we are taking baby steps to meet some people. </div><div><br /></div><div>I love being home with her and having more time to help Craig stay organized. It's not an easy job! My goal is to post once a week. Someone make me! I will try my best. </div><div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>The Alexander Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12885015353359712637noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365787598369917769.post-35244478180865566302010-12-16T18:41:00.000-08:002010-12-16T19:04:09.816-08:00Fall Photo Shoot-Zoombug Photos<div>We got our first family pictures made in November.

And, I can't believe how long it's been since I posted. I have gone back to work, which would explain my lack of posting. I wish I was one of those people that truly love their job. I just feel that I have lost all motivation. I love my students and really strive to be a positive influence in their life. But, I miss Sidney every second of every day! We have already had three snow days. My little buddy and I have had a blast! She has experienced cold weather at it's finest with her first snow, temps at under 10 degrees and even a small ice storm. She was not impressed with the snow but will always crack a smile for Daddy! Especially when he throws her in the air..</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi3KkQlrMqGnqOSf3nihu9KKTTTIYNTIaLAKuV5hASk5KERuB48gRcPQmBdMIbZ8eRls-GryC3TV0w31SSg_jOkpJL-LRUEns1UpDGtjdpr9UnsNV1tNaPZyllh6B0MTfo_wmV3SL3Z648/s1600/DSC_0104.JPG"><img style="display:block;

Cover and cook on low heat setting for 4 hours or on high heat setting for 2 hours.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are some photos from 2 seasons ago (I did not tailgate last year because I was to sick and pregnant!)
