Tootless

Well we had a dentist appointment for both of our daughters Saturday. All went well. The oldest has both of her bottom teeth that are on their way to falling out. If you looked at the x-ray you it looked like she was a shark with an extra row of teeth waiting to come out after a good hunt. I asked her if they were wiggly and she said no :) yeah uh huh I took a look at them when we got home and any more wiggly they would have been out on the floor LOL. Too cute.

Now on to the baby. She is so precious with her toothless smile. I love her to death. DH is worried she is to old to not have teeth. I'm not as worried yet because Africa started late around 11 months cutting teeth. Well Dentist examined the baby to her horror thinking she was being attacked and nothing. Not a tooth in sight or feel.

So one little princess is on her way to toothless town the other is making herself comfortable there :)

However:

She may be toothless, but that doesn't stop her from eating :) Gotta love 'em.

UT vs A&M

Ok so I'm not that big on professional football, but I love college football for some reason. The whole UT/A&M thing used to make me laugh until let see I think it was the year 2000 the Weimar Wildcat band went to a UT v. OU game and sat in on the bands practice. Being that our band director at the time was a Texas Ex this was about the only school we would have gone to ;) lol. Anyways from that day on (eventhough I still despised any shorthorn) I was in love with the Texas Longhorns. But being that my Nana wanted to keep a close watch on me I ended up at the University of Houston. A good school, but they also had beef with UT which didn't go over well when I wore my Texas Longhorn T-shirt.

Being that our small little country town was also divided I have some close friends even family that are Aggies. I do not judge them for their faults :)

Fast forwarding to today. It took me a min to notice, but the dentists office that I took my girls to yesterday seems to have tried to spark a sub-conscience rivalry in my own home. So both my girls got balloons for being good patients. My oldest got a Maroon balloon and my youngest an orange one. Like I said I thought nothing of it at first until my oldest was playing with them together and I noticed the colors and fought the urge to pop the maroon one because I knew my oldest would be distraught.

Hmm, Good thing they no not what they have I'm gonna let them have their fun, but I will watch the dentist assistant next time.

Tofu Fries n Ketchup

I have succeeded once again. I have made the above from scratch. Well not the tofu I bought that, but all is homemade. Even the ketchup. About 2 weeks ago I found a recipe for tofu fries and it looked pretty good. Even the recommendation from the authors non tofu eating 7 y/o caught my attention so I decided to make them when we had all the right stuff. Well today was that day. unfortunately we were short on ketchup so since I'm already cooking why not make Ketchup too. I found a pretty good recipe that had the same stuff as we had in the house (ie. not a pound of tomatoes).

And here's the finished product:

And the whole family liked it. All the way down to the baby. Alhamdulilah.

1st Anniversary

Alhamdulialah my current youngest child has surpassed a year by the grace of Allah. She has grown by leaps and bounds from her 6lb rocky start. I thank Allah everyday for my growing family and that they continue to be healthy, happy and faithful.

Keep growing little one.

First of the month blues

Well it's the first of the month and I am an accountant so that means bank recons, closing books for last month reconciling accounts.  Mounds of papers and paperwork.  Yeah Me! No but really I do love what I do so it's not as bad as I make it out to be.  Except my fearless leader (my supervisor) is MIA.  He has gone on vacation from yesterday until after the other accountant and myself have to have half of our work totally completed.  Then SHE'S going on vacation.  Hmmm, I would complain, but come March (maybe February if this babe is early like the last one) I will be on a nice 6 week vacation LOL if you can call it that.  I will be at home with a newborn and a 20 mo.  DD(Dear Daughter)#1 will be still in school.

Anyways just feeling the pressure of the coming month as work pick up and I'm great full for every min, but freaking out at the same time :)

Bring it on.

Eid Mubarak

Alhamdulilah another Ramadhan has passed.  May Allah bless all those that fasted this Holy month and those who had the intention (like myself), but were unable to.

We look to tomorrow Eid al Fitr which is not a day to gorge on food just because fasting has ended, but as another blessing of another day and the blessing to see another Ramadan come to a close.  Please join me in welcoming the month of Shawal and blessing all of those who will fast the first 6 days as well.

May Allah have mercy on all of our souls on the day of Judgment and bless us that we may make it to the Hereafter with those we love.

Qhamata News update

Extra, Extra Read All about it!

The Qhamata's, Alhamdulilah are expecting #3.  You read right Mr&Mrs. Qhamata are welcoming a new addition to their lives.  With Africa almost 6 years old and islamicly Khalifah just turned one on the 25th of Ramadan we are expecting another bundle of joy.  This blessing's expected arrival is March 10th 2012.

After a successful 12wk doctor's appointment today and only one minor hiccup so far we feel it is a good time to spread the news.  I will still be watched and have weekly shots starting mid September, but we are looking forward to a healthy baby next year.

I would like the sex to be a surprise this go round.  Being that we have two girls and I think it will be fun to wait until the end to know for sure (which since Ultrasounds can be wrong, no one knows for sure till the end).
