When we moved home from Germany, I lost the cords to my YL diffusers. So, for now I thought I would just try to find something that would work. With three girls that love lavender diffusing when they go to bed I needed a less expensive route than the YL ones. I know right, how could I go with anything other than Young Living, well finances will only allow for so much and it was more important to have the oils diffusing that not at all. On that note I might try another brand diffuse but I will NOT buy any other essential oils than Young Living. I am beyond happy that the <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20%20href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Y2CQRZY/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00Y2CQRZY&linkCode=as2&tag=hillfamifarm-20&linkId=XS4JBLDMPEAGD5X2%22%3EURPOWER%202nd%20Version%20Essential%20Oil%20Diffuser,100ml%20Aroma%20Essential%20Oil%20Cool%20Mist%20Humidifier%20with%20Adjustable%20Mist%20Mode,Waterless%20Auto%20Shut-off%20and%207%20Color%20LED%20Lights%20Changing%20for%20Home%20Office%20Baby%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=hillfamifarm-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00Y2CQRZY%22%20width=%221%22%20height=%221%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22%22%20style=%22border:none%20!important;%20margin:0px%20!important;%22%20/%3E" target="_blank">URPOWER Essential Oil Diffuser 2nd Edition</a> held up to the the Amazon reviews.</div>

Chickens.We have 13 chickens on our farm. 9 chickens that are a little over 12 weeks old and 4 that are around 8 weeks old. We have been slowly coming up with names for them. We named 4 pretty quickly, each of the older three girls named one and I named one, we have Mags, Red, Stripes and Ducklawn (thank you Paige Poo for a fun name). Recently a friend of mine sent me a link to a post on Pinterest of a painted wooden sign listing all her chicken's names, let's just say super cute. I think this friend offered to make it for me... RIGHT?? So, needless to say it started a naming discussion with the family. I think we managed to name all the older 9 chickens... then I talked to this same friend and she suggested I have two named after two of my closest friends, YES, one after her. When I thought about it, really thought about it, it made sense. See, I have these two chickens, one a silver laced wyandotte and the other a barred rock. Both black and white and always seem to stick together, likes sisters from a different egg. They seem to get into a lot of trouble together, they want to party in the goat pen and not come back out. They don't want to go to bed at night. The don't like to share treats. I am always chasing them while fussing at them. Here is the best part.. I get to laugh with them, lots of silly laughs. I introduce you to, Kim and Katrina.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is impossible that a year has passed. I still can so vividly remember walking to the local Krankenhaus (hospital) in Frankfurt for my +2 day observation. A routine check of contractions and fluid levels every two days post 40 weeks. The midwives in the kresssaal (yes, three S's I can't make my keyboard do the funny looking B, the "eszett" in the German alphabet) were amazing. The process was long and slow in the beginning but in the end she came hard and fast. My fluids were low and they decided to induce me so it just took awhile to get things going. "Goose" Phoebe Jane's nickname comes from the little honking noises she made in her first few months of life when she got excited, she sounded like a goose. Not even a month old and she flew across the ocean to her new world for her, the good ole' USA. After a summer in VA waiting on her parents to decide what retiring from the USMC would be like she was able to settle here in SC.. in her new home. Crazy to think that this little girl will most likely live in this one house until college. Reese, her big sister has lived in 7 houses and 3 temporary apartments in her 11 years of life. She is one sweet little girl. She loves her sisters. She can say Mama, Dada, Nan (Khan, our puppy), baby, not nice, goat, cracker, snack, chicken, puppy... now granted the words come out more like GOA for goat and nack for snack but I think even a stranger would get what she was saying. She can sign please, all done, book, bath, thank you, more, wash. She waves bye bye and blows kisses. She is a little bitty thing, the smallest of the 4 girls by 50 percentiles. We love you Jane so very much. Happy Birthday Blog post.</div>

It is FALL here in Frankfurt and that means it is time to begin all the FUN FALL ACTIVITIES our family loves to do. Two weeks ago a Department of State friend posted pictures of her family picking apples and roasting marshmallow's at a local Apple Farm and I immediately began to get all the information I could on the place. So on Saturday, September 15th we went to <a href="http://www.appel-happel.de/">Appel Happel</a>, it was so much fun for the girls. We picked over 14 kg of apples that cost us less than 20 Euros. For us it was well worth it for an hour of good healthy family fun. We came home and made a paleo apple pie, apple sauce and ate tons of apples for days... I even took a bag of apples to the school and a bag over to a new family here in the siedlung as a welcome gift. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are still eating the apples. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So so YUMMY! </div>

You know you have a friend that you can go days and weeks with out talking to them and then when you do it's like you haven't missed a minute. Well Katrina is one of my few friends that I can do that with. Lately we send each other random, awkward but super silly VOXER messages and carry out a long never finished conversation through google and ichat. We used to play the Wii while everyone else went skiing. We used to go crazy in Joanne's together and take crazy pictures of bolts of fabric. Take silly drag or super cute photos for other friends blogs... stay up late sewing and drinking wine while the hubs were deployed. Stay up late looking at owls. Stay up late watching the olympics together while google chatting across town while the hubs were playing MARINES. Shenanigans are ENDLESS when we get together. I MISS HER so so much. I can't wait til she can get her hiney hiney hiney over here to Deutchland so we can have some crazy EUROPEAN sillinesses together</div>

We had our first ever Back To School Feast tonight. Stephanie Neislon over at <a href="http://nieniedialogues.blogspot.de/" target="_blank">NieNie Dialogues</a> has done this for her children for years. She is an inspiration and I am an avid follower of her blog. I just love her idea of the "Feast" and thought that this year we would start doing our own dinner to honor the girls going back to school and all that the new year has to offer. I had so much fun planning the dinner and making the girls their crowns. Craig is traveling, so sadly he is missing out on the girls first day of school tomorrow AGAIN. The last two years he was in Afghanistan. NEXT YEAR he will hopefully be here.</div>

Cosi Cosi is a favorite little Bistro in our Dornbusch area of Frankfurt. Almost everyone here at the consulate siedlung has either taken us there, pointed it out, told us we need to eat there or asked if we have been. It is YUMMY. The guys that work in there are very friendly and love kids. There are tons of things on the menu I can't wait to try and the prices are fantastic.</div>

Shortly after initially getting settled here in Frankfurt I realized that I would be pretty bored once the girls went to school. Our house would be beyond spotless and laundry done within in one day a week, easily. Back in California I was very involved in several volunteer opportunities. Two mornings a week I was at the older girls school volunteering in their classrooms, I would have LINKS about every other week or so and Family Readiness meetings about the same. So easily three days a week if not more were occupied. I loved it. I miss it. The ladies at LINKS and at 9th Comm Battalion kept me sane during two back to back deployments. They were AMAZING. I also miss them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't have LINKS here and there isn't an active Family Readiness Team here. The girls school is a 30 minute drive one way, gas is very expensive and well at the moment I don't even have a car. LOL. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The day I took Claire's paperwork over to her preschool I had a very nice chat with the new director and after just a few minutes of talking about our families history of moves and well, just life she encouraged me to put in an application for a teaching position at the school. I walked away wondering if I should and decided that Craig and I could talk and pray over it. The next week I took back some documents needed and again after a brief conversation, the director again suggested I apply for a position and soon. (A little back story for you, back in February when we received orders for MCESG I inquired about a job posting at the school for the Registrar position that was posted on the website but was told by the previous director that the position was filled.) That night after talking more with Craig I decided to dust off a resume and apply. I also applied for part time clerk position at the consulate. Then turned it over to God's hands to decide. The consulate job hours would be pretty much the same as if I worked at <a href="http://www.carlschurzschool.com/" target="_blank">Carl Schurz</a>, however it is year round. I am not sure I am ready to hire a nanny to watch the girls over fall, winter, spring and summer breaks. I still want that job as a Mommy. The next morning I received a phone call from the Human Resource office requesting an interview for a Teacher or Teacher's Assistant position at CS. I was super excited. A week later I went in for the interview and I walked away feeling very confidant and happy. Then last week I was called again to discuss potential options. The Registrar position is back open and I want to be considered for it. At the meeting we discussed the process of hiring all the Teachers and TA's before they could hire a Registrar. I told them I really want to be a part of the team and I would be happy where ever they placed me. Yesterday I decline the Teaching offer and signed the papers for a Teacher's Assistant position. I am very happy. Eventually the Registrar position will be open. I know at least one other very qualified lady that will also be applying. It is in God's hands. I have done what I can, if I get it YAY. If someone else does then I will still be happy and make the Teaching Assistant position ME. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I would want a job at the consulate, "A Real Big Girl Mommy Job" where I could maybe meet Craig for lunch and wear nice outfits and super cute shoes and be me, Denise. After a lot of praying I realized I am not ready for that. I can still be me, Denise, pretty much where ever I want to. It is a choice. Germany is going to be a lot of fun.. We are basically in the wagon wheel of Europe. God has blessed our family with this opportunity and now with the extra added income travel option are boundless.</div>

Paige is our strong willed child, and we are so grateful for it. Sometimes when Paige and I are butting heads I have to remind myself that I am thankful for that desire in her to fight and push the limits. Without that natural desire to fight she wouldn't be with us today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Alexandria Paige Wiggins<br />
July 30th, 2006<br />
8lbs 9oz 20 inches long</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Paige's delivery was hard and complicated... I will try to make this short as short as I possibly can. Paige suffered an Hypoxic-Ischemic Brain Injury at delivery, her apgar scores were 2/6. She also suffered from Erb's Palsy and was born with a Sacrococcygeal teratoma. Very, very scary and stressful time for Craig, myself and our family. Within 24 hours of deliver she was transferred from Trident Medical Center to MUSC Children's Hospital where she spent the next three weeks in the level three NICU showing us how strong willed she already was.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The day we were given Paige's diagnosis was a very emotional day, I was nursing Paige in a rocker in front of her incubator, something I wasn't able to do until she was about 15 days old. Craig was there and we were very cozy behind the folding screens they put up for privacy. Her team of Dr.'s approached us and said that we could stay on the floor if we liked since I was nursing, that normally we would go discuss these types of things in a conference room. The Doctors told us that basically Paige would never be "normal (what ever normal is), she would most likely suffer from Cerebral Palsy, physical and mental handicaps". The seizures, MRI & MRS results, clonis and hypertonia all indicated a serious brain injury caused most likely during delivery. They did tell us that babies brains are amazing wonders, that they are super resilient, we held on to these statements for the next two years. We asked questions, they answered and then they left. We sat there starring at each other full of worry, and scared beyond belief. God was with us and we soon realized that, when on the other side of the NICU, just three feet away, behind another set of folding screens we heard the anguished cries of a Mom and family as their baby was taken off life support and passed. God wrapped his arms around us and at that point, we decided we were blessed to have Paige in our lives ALIVE no matter what the Dr's said she would or wouldn't be as she grew. </div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">just a few days before we took her home.. we were down to just a PIC line.. here she is all snuggled. It was always hard to go home at the end of a long day in the NICU but when we go to this point it was a lot easier knowing she was at least healthy. Craig would go into the NICU really really early like 3-4 am and he would find the nurses snuggling on Paige.. though she was one of the sickest babies they had at birth she was by far the largest. It amazes me the strength and devotion those neonatal nurses and doctors have. Without them... well we had them, that is all that is important.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">She has still gone through so much in her short 6 years, withdrawal from phenobarbital, high risk clinic visits, a lot of physical therapy, occupational therapy, oral aphagia therapy, SPEECH therapy, three surgeries, a handful of MRI's, allergy testing, annual hearing tests, finally done with semi annual blood draws.. more than most adults have to go through. Thanks to amazing providers, teachers, family and friends, Paige today is "normal." She will continue speech therapy at school and will work through her Apraxia for years to come, and that is about it. She is smart, energetic, flexible, funny and frustrating. LOL. We do love her so much, and I can't wait to see what kind of young lady she grows into. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
