Bugs, Bugs...Go Away, and Don't Come Back Another Day!

I am so tired of seeing cockroaches. Every day I do all the dishes, put all the food away, scrub the counters, vacuum the dining area, sweep the kitchen floor and yet we continue to see roaches. We aren't dirty people! Why do we have roaches?! Anyway, I really hope that we can get rid of them soon. This weekend we emptied all our cupboards, cleaned them with bleach, put some roach bait in the cracks, added some bay leaves (supposed to repel them) and some baking soda (supposed to explode their stomachs when ingested). So, here's hopin'! I killed one in Rebecca's room today. I have no idea what it was doing in there. Maybe it got tired of smelling the bay leaves in the kitchen and was looking for a more suitable home. Anyway, keep praying for us...we can use all the help we can get!

Rebecca keeps on doing all sorts of stuff these days. She continues to love rolling over and seeing the world from on her tummy. But, she just started laughing this week. And, she also discovered her feet. I often find her staring at them, or playing with her toes. She's so cute!

Jesse had fun at the park this weekend. He loves the park! He had a blast on the swing and loved it when Mike have him under-duck pushes (where does that word come from anyway...). He also petted a cat nicely today...several times. Usually he just grabs a handful of fur, but this cat was so soft...maybe that's why he petted her so nicely. Either way, it gives me hope!

And MOPS starts again tomorrow...I am so excited!!
