Ten days until our Atticus joined us and now, 4 years since I have posted. Life became busier and blogging fell by the wayside. Ocoee is old enough to ask us things us about herself as a child and I remembered this blog. So we are back and hope to post on a regular basis just as a historical document for our children.<br />
<br />
Here they are, Ocoee is 7 and in 1st grade at Chugach Optional. She is brilliant, funny and loves reading. Her favorite by far is the Harry Potter series that she read in Kindergarten and has reread a dozen times by now.<br />
<br />
Atticus is 3, turning 4 in a few months. He is in preschool at Anchorage Montessori and loves playing outside in the snow, books and Star Wars. He is social and loving and has more energy than Mike and I combined.<br />

You are being born into a world where your mommy and daddy love you and have had the good luck to be surrounded by amazing people who because they love us, love you too. I am overwhelmed with how much people in our lives have done to help us prepare for you. I know that in this world there is never such a thing as too much love so I am grateful for each drop!<br />
<br />
Your Grandma Fey is coming into town in a few days to welcome you and take care of Ocoee while we focus on you for a few days. Ocoee is so ready to have her baby brother. She really wants to cuddle you and stroke your hair, and maybe pat your back...in her words. You could not have a better older sister waiting for you.<br />
<br />
As for me, I am physically ready to get the show on the road. Carrying a baby is hard work, but I am a little worried that I have forgotten all the infant "know how" that I learned with Ocoee. I am trusting that it will all come back to me, but just in case take it easy on us if we get it wrong at first. We love you and are trying.<br />
<br />
The home front is in pretty good shape. We just got new windows and though there is still a list of small projects that are driving your dad crazy, we will be fine.<br />
<br />
Overall I hope that I can raise you to understand that you are blessed and privileged in a way many children in the world are not. This is not something you should take for granted. Though my life goal is for you to not experience pain, hurt or loss it will happen, and I hope the joy far outweighs these rough moments. I love you and can't wait to meet you.<br />
<br />
Love always,<br />

Will it be as shocking as the change when Ocoee entered our lives? The interesting thing is that Ocoee's life will forever change and Atticus will never know a world where she wasn't a part of it. I guess I should change my blog to Alaskan Bambino<i>s. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Last night was a great example of how being a mom has changed me. I went to a super bowl party where my lovely friends gave Ocoee puzzles and stickers, I sat up stairs during the 2nd quarter reading her a book, there was no drinking for me (pregnancy not being a mom makes this my reality), and I drove home exhausted by 7pm. More interesting to me than the game or commercials was if she had fun and getting her in bed in time to be well rested and happy the next day.<br />
<br />
At 3am when I awoke and could not get back to sleep I decided to go in her room in check on her. At first my heart was racing because she wasn't there.....then I realized that she was on the other end of the bed splayed out sleeping....<br />
<br />
Or was she sleeping?? Doubt clogged my mind and I rubbed her arm, she felt cold and didn't stir. I had a full 20 seconds of panic when I reached down and shook her....hard. She grumbled and rolled over going back to sleep. Ok, crazy me I thought. It took me awhile to settled down and sleep did not come again even though she was resting quietly. This is the part of parenthood no one tells you about. Fear, anxiety, worry and guilt. They do not hamper the joy but they can make you feel crazy.<br />
<br />
Little Atticus, I can't wait to meet you and I am prepared for this burden of motherhood that makes us crazy but also serves to keep you safe.<br />
<br />
<br />
Love<br />

<br />
I was laying in bed last night and thinking I really should blog about how difficult this baby is to carry versus Ocoee. Not to guilt poor baby Atticus (though he better love me forever and ever for all this work!) but to note the difference for historical reference. I reached for the journal that I keep beside my bed for each kiddo and then realized I didn't have a pen. It was too difficult to leave my bed to get a pen......so yea that sums up how hard this pregnancy has been. I am really wishing I lived in Europe where my dear friend was REQUIRED to take the last 6 weeks of pregnancy off work. SIGH!<br />
<br />
That being said we are finally getting the baby room together. Hubby has painted the walls, new windows will go in for sound reduction in a few weeks (hopefully before baby comes) and grandma got us a fun wool rug. I splurged on one cool piece of art (pictures to come) that is a wall decal of the world and the closet organizer is installed. Since we won't be doing a crib we have lots of space in the room and were able to out up Ocoee's cool teepee from a few years ago. It fits the modern, bright decor perfectly.<br />
<br />
44 more days to go!<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

Ocoee enjoyed carving pumpkins, reading Halloween books and of course dressing up. We practiced trick or treating as a game many times before the big event.<br />
<br />
On the day of the event Ocoee had daycare where she dressed up as a scarecrow. She was one of the few girls in the class that was not wearing a princess dress and she looked awesome. The day was pretty action packed for a little 3 year old who was too excited to nap. They trick or treated during the day in the different classrooms at her preschool and then ended the day with a party for parents to attend. I was very impressed with the class party and for the first time ever Ocoee actually wanted to be there.....we last a good 30 minutes before she was ready to go home.<br />
<br />
At home we relaxed a bit making some caesar salad for our friend party and trick or treating at the Boxlers. They have a great neighborhood and enjoy hosting all the crazy kids. Ocoee did a quick costume change to her piglet costume, which was warm and fit the family theme. Hubby was pooh (yellow sweat pants and a bear stocking hat) and I was Kanga (brown tights and a kangaroo stocking hat). Ocoee did such great job trick or treating. She loved seeing the decorations around the neighborhood, especially the scarecrows. She even walked to the door without us, since she had her friend Maggie to assist her. Maggie was a sweetheart showing Ocoee the ropes of getting candy from strangers.<br />
<br />
Once we hit about 10 houses we called it a night and left the older kids to switching and trading their candy. It looked like the floor of the stock exchange during a frenzy.<br />
<br />
We placed all of Ocoee's candy outside for the switch witch to trade her. She is super good at not eating candy with junk in it. She gets a steady supply of organic candy from grandma who has access to Trader Joes and Whole Foods. The switch witch gave her some dress up masks, the hungry hippos game and a new book. She was so pumped when she woke up!<br />

Sorry. I will get the basics down and then run out for our packed Halloween day, which will also take me forever to blog. See the theme??<br />
<br />
For Ocoee's 3rd birthday we stuck with the tradition of heading south to the ski town for Girdwood for a family retreat. We had friends rent rooms at the Alyeska resort and join us for the fun. Ocoee picked a pirate theme and we had gathered all the fun decorations, party favors and food weeks in advance. It was going to be easy peasy, pumpkin squeezey!<br />
<br />
Except, my physically hesitant, cautious child fell on 6 inches of uber safe playground foam and broke her collarbone. It happened at daycare on her 3rd day in the new "big kids" room of preschool. She told us she was going up the slide the wrong way and slipped and fell. This was her trying to fit in with the other kids. Tough lessons there!<br />
<br />
Hubby took the day off and took her to the doctor and she had her X-rays. I guess this was really traumatic and I am very happy that I didn't find out about her injury until the end of the day Friday. I was a wreck and don't think I would have helped the situation any. I guess collarbone injuries are very common and she had to wear a harness for 4 weeks. Hubby also broke his collarbone when he was younger, so this seems to be a family trend.<br />
<br />
A broken collarbone didn't slow her down. After the doctors office we packed up headed to gird wood and had dinner at our favorite restaurant Jack Spratts.<br />
<br />
Our karma seemed to turn around once we arrived in Girdwood. Upon check in we were informed that we had been upgraded to the Royal Suite. This is the nicest room in the hotel that is normally $1700 a night! The room had two separate entrances, more closets than my house, a full kitchen with sub zero fridge, a bedroom, a lounge with floor to ceiling 360 degree glass windows and two bathrooms. Let's just say a pretty jaw dropping place for a 3 year olds birthday party!<br />
<br />
The weekend was filled with swimming, tram rides up the mountain, yummy food, gifts and many wonderful memories. Late on Saturday night we all wandered over to moose meadow released our wish lanterns. Ocoee wished for a frog. The lanterns must work because she received a frog bath toy on her actual birthday the following Tuesday.<br />
<br />
Ocoee's 3 year stats:<br />
<br />
Loves to read and is currently hooked on Winnie the Pooh.<br />
73% for height-38 inches<br />
62% for weight-32 pounds....I am pretty sure that is what she weighed last year!!<br />
Still sleeps with her tag blanket but in her brand-new big girl daybed!<br />
<br />
As Grandma said, A perfectly sized granddaughter.<br />

It was a beautiful fall weekend and we all rented a cabin at hatchers pass lodge. The weekend was full of food, hikes, games and hearty conversation. <div><br></div><div>The other kiddos on the trip are older than Ocoee but they do an excellent job of hanging out and playing with Ocoee. She loves playing with the big kids. </div><div><br></div><div>The biggest highlight of the weekend was completing a 2.5 mile hike to April bowl. The trail was narrow with 800 ft in elevation gain. The elevation gain was easy due to switch backs. To motivate Ocoee I used organic jelly beans from trader joes at different milestones along the way. My good friend also told her stories and chatted her up to keep her mind occupied while her feet kept moving. </div><div><br></div><div>It was great to see my little one accomplish her goal and to embrace the beauty of Alaska. Hiking is truly an activity that touches the soul on the peaks here in Alaska. </div><div><br></div><div>Another first for coco bean!</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div>J</div>Janelle Feyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12295257024305359424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-649610976073134152.post-46030083568370049712014-09-14T12:54:00.001-07:002014-09-14T12:54:04.636-07:00Transitions<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMY6bLj0mnUbVRLzanRix0v4LhRPOUePWYS5AwNGc6VMyED4a3CzJSrIAlMtghlbtitVPugrWqz1nfL8j9mrYNiX3J7FV7dDHF08p7ROIN7g-twc6AyE8ofFT5Q7lvPpCevpWPsPtZG-o/s640/blogger-image--171811141.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMY6bLj0mnUbVRLzanRix0v4LhRPOUePWYS5AwNGc6VMyED4a3CzJSrIAlMtghlbtitVPugrWqz1nfL8j9mrYNiX3J7FV7dDHF08p7ROIN7g-twc6AyE8ofFT5Q7lvPpCevpWPsPtZG-o/s640/blogger-image--171811141.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNFVmd8uOogcI0ZejuCjnSaVC1Asa0TQkb04HDoST-AL_iMu29hBOa7HbrbPpFzVYbV3gYmBN9h0CF83iwFo4cJdPqxlMYoioNPTOxFEcXm1Yh65OKUoO-UU5LQw2wVq_FQlwUXVjWKIs/s640/blogger-image-724049192.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNFVmd8uOogcI0ZejuCjnSaVC1Asa0TQkb04HDoST-AL_iMu29hBOa7HbrbPpFzVYbV3gYmBN9h0CF83iwFo4cJdPqxlMYoioNPTOxFEcXm1Yh65OKUoO-UU5LQw2wVq_FQlwUXVjWKIs/s640/blogger-image-724049192.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmdFaHuRmGoebp2SFIvcMakoim3FrI0zRc5b7O9wt0R5tb9vM8zxXADj8vy5lCj7uIHf6LW-djacjfljqfZ2M2Z_QWdG7RhLpOCsUonOYPdNKXt4odzCO_izOrJ73pQK7otdh5rwYF3CM/s640/blogger-image-1677359561.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmdFaHuRmGoebp2SFIvcMakoim3FrI0zRc5b7O9wt0R5tb9vM8zxXADj8vy5lCj7uIHf6LW-djacjfljqfZ2M2Z_QWdG7RhLpOCsUonOYPdNKXt4odzCO_izOrJ73pQK7otdh5rwYF3CM/s640/blogger-image-1677359561.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>Fall is a time of transition and letting go. We say goodbye to summer and all it entails and embrace the change of the seasons. <div><br></div><div>Yesterday was a special day at our house. It was my mom's birthday. Our beloved dogs, Brodie and Love also shared this birthday. Since we lost Brodie and Love we have been waiting for this day to have a memorial to pay our respects and celebrate the joy they brought to our family. </div><div><br></div><div>We had little brass plaques made an found a favorite tree in Russian jack park. They are side by side on the tree like they so often were in life. The walk in the park reminded us of hundreds we shared with the dogs over the last 5 years. The rain stopped and the sun shined, making it a lovely day to stroll through the birch trees. </div><div><br></div><div>On the way to the creek where we wanted to spread Brodie's ashes we walked through the tunnel, like many times before. Our tradition is to yell and hear our echo. This time we yelled, Brodie! Love! Words that so often spilled from our mouths before but we hadn't said much of lately. Then Ocoee whispered, we miss you. My eyes were filled with tears. </div><div><br></div><div>We reached the creek and let Brodie's ashes fall in the creek. The creek gurgled and bubbled along on a perfect fall day. Brodie loved to sit in the creek and cool off, drinking from the fresh cool water. He was the typical lab who could not resist water. </div><div><br></div><div>I really don't have the words to describe how much our dogs meant to us and how much they gave us during their 15 years on earth. Most of you have owned dogs and know. It is something I will always treasure. </div><div><br></div><div>RIP Brodie dog and Love dog. </div><div><br></div><div>J</div>Janelle Feyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12295257024305359424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-649610976073134152.post-82474157577948503132014-09-10T19:32:00.001-07:002014-09-10T19:32:07.822-07:00Summer 2014Summer was so great and busy that I didn't even blog! I was a total slacker. The highlights were time in Nebraska with grandma and grandpa, family in from Arizona to visit and lots of cousin and Uncle DD time in Tennessee. It was truly magical to see Ocoee forming relationships with her family members so far away. She is old enough now to really engage with everyone. She even got to meet some of my former Journalism students. We were busy the whole summer and had so many wonderful moments that I am bummed I didn't take the time to catch them in writing. Ocoee grew more adventurous and talkative this summer and now seems a bit more like my personality than hubby's......but she can still be reserved and a watcher.<br />

She loves tags. I mean adores them. She checks out all clothes based on how nice the tag is. Scratchy or soft.....she especially likes ones that have her name on them. She holds these tags in one hand as a comfort item. She has a special tag blankie that is an old swaddle blanket that she drags around the house like Linus from Peanuts and she also sleeps with a tag.....could be blankie or could be a favorite fleece or shirt.<br />
<br />
I found her in the entry way holding tightly to a tag on her fleece that was hooked on the coat rag....literally purring. Who knew something so silly would be so soothing to her.<br />
<br />
We are very loving and affectionate so I am not sure why she needs this extra security, but it works for her so we just roll with it. It has become the norm and makes even her laugh. I remember when she started because a boy at daycare had the same habit. They were great buds and she really picked it up from him. She is also a thumb sucker so this fits that mold as well.<br />
<br />
I am sure years from now she will have no memory of this little habit but for now it is very important to her!<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

Closing up homer cabinWe spent the weekend basking in Alaska's glory as we prepared to shut up the Homer cabin for the winter. The sun shined, eagles flew, fish were caught and summer went out in style. <div><br></div><div>Ocoee caught her first fish deep sea fishing. We were telling her the story of my first Alaskan deep sea fish where I caught a cod that was being eaten by a ling cod. It was awesome. Two in one cast. Two minute later Ocoee reeled in her double sculpin! She was most excited by the rainbow fishing line. </div><div><br></div><div>It was a purely spectacular weekend with great sunsets and sunshine every day. The cabin accommodated 3 extra adults and one more dog easily. We finished with yummy pizza at Finns. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ9LFjFNdRRrI5kwaaSOYQAcjckVb2ile6R60vdPIjlMzhCsho2uHaDXx1JqtxiV2DO_lYob49USMIAInbu-qrbaJ_7d7u9S5BZlfOlIC128PdNlU1fUWR_1xoFZTs0EcHVP7_hWwoa9o/s640/blogger-image--742269560.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ9LFjFNdRRrI5kwaaSOYQAcjckVb2ile6R60vdPIjlMzhCsho2uHaDXx1JqtxiV2DO_lYob49USMIAInbu-qrbaJ_7d7u9S5BZlfOlIC128PdNlU1fUWR_1xoFZTs0EcHVP7_hWwoa9o/s640/blogger-image--742269560.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKZ2FEetElPNHk4wHiKm01-hNJc3hPd5dImFyX2RtFRK-4DKSrajrueqGVqI2I55UNlHncvz80LqsYNGfDGgKsxBiAK6tTcenhjxOOju9XSpSZmcTHC1tUPqVSTDB0WRwL6AokIocW7Go/s640/blogger-image-1734157447.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKZ2FEetElPNHk4wHiKm01-hNJc3hPd5dImFyX2RtFRK-4DKSrajrueqGVqI2I55UNlHncvz80LqsYNGfDGgKsxBiAK6tTcenhjxOOju9XSpSZmcTHC1tUPqVSTDB0WRwL6AokIocW7Go/s640/blogger-image-1734157447.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqbGVIFmXN57QDtm32Lo61ZFO4RJLmT2A9bDAK-bBVlfu5urmjpEeOAkyaXS7N0hCiTB8nKUOn_wR7PfFIRnO_Mo_LkyWlPNWM5lXlYyEhXrMbZDuiFs26SOGKA98SF-STMNCDN3LzTXs/s640/blogger-image-4251245.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqbGVIFmXN57QDtm32Lo61ZFO4RJLmT2A9bDAK-bBVlfu5urmjpEeOAkyaXS7N0hCiTB8nKUOn_wR7PfFIRnO_Mo_LkyWlPNWM5lXlYyEhXrMbZDuiFs26SOGKA98SF-STMNCDN3LzTXs/s640/blogger-image-4251245.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmhJAyns-7Wd_8G__qqsctbFetHXFYT7gXkbp48muhjUh2TmzK2bjVvcu-nm99LulDFgIqQtgx1YrBGDoWtxndKOEl676usEP2z9VwoyXERdFi0nC0-fQQPsvBW5vNtnvPeB1pHyzPNAY/s640/blogger-image--205317720.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmhJAyns-7Wd_8G__qqsctbFetHXFYT7gXkbp48muhjUh2TmzK2bjVvcu-nm99LulDFgIqQtgx1YrBGDoWtxndKOEl676usEP2z9VwoyXERdFi0nC0-fQQPsvBW5vNtnvPeB1pHyzPNAY/s640/blogger-image--205317720.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCgX0L3umRYxMzfupheVYvn44y7wIfkx_uXg17KmOP8ZXhgwpLegxCeJE4m1i6yLc_LqjIRGrGEL-OaxZ4iY06OoBNidgfNo6msxtpWT08CW85XCuX4803-HUwyAI46i88WNwHoIjH_TI/s640/blogger-image-1546225932.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCgX0L3umRYxMzfupheVYvn44y7wIfkx_uXg17KmOP8ZXhgwpLegxCeJE4m1i6yLc_LqjIRGrGEL-OaxZ4iY06OoBNidgfNo6msxtpWT08CW85XCuX4803-HUwyAI46i88WNwHoIjH_TI/s640/blogger-image-1546225932.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div>J</div>Janelle Feyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12295257024305359424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-649610976073134152.post-13367323492387491862014-06-14T10:30:00.001-07:002014-06-14T10:30:42.797-07:00Homer weekend-June 2014We were finally able to make time to visit the Homer cabin. I have dubbed it the H3C, Homer Hesketh Hill Cabin. As we approached in the water taxi there she stood on the top of the hill with eagles soaring by her, so lovely against the sky.<br />

We dropped no essential gear on the beach and headed up the hill for the strenuous but short hike that was our trail from last summer. Seeing no clear trail or road we went up the steepest but shortest way. Many curse words and tears were spilt on that first bushwhacking hike and I am sure the road to hell is paved not in good intentions but instead in Devils Club.<br />
<br />
This time though the path was in much better shape due to the boys coming a few weeks before to do some chainsaw work on the main trail on the back side of the hill. We were happily almost there when we saw another tree had fallen in the last few weeks. UGH! We spent the 10 minutes climbing through a spider web of limbs and branches just steps from the cabin.<br />
<br />
Once we made it though I was happy to see the boys left the place in good order. Mike figured out how to deal with the tree that had fallen on the roof and miraculously missed the chimney. He had it off with brain and brawn....very manly moment. Patched the roof and then spent time working on the back trail. The 5 year goal is to make the trail an ATV road so we could move more gear and people can access the cabin easier. But to be honest I am happy with the meandering trail that is there now. It needs more work for sure but I most anyone in ok shape can make it up in 30 minutes with very little strain. Supplies have to be backpacked in but that is why it is such paradise.....it is remote. At the end of the Kenai peninsula, down the Homer spit, across Kachemak bay and then up the HILL. Don't have to worry about locking the door!<br />
<br />
My projects for the cabin included, two indoor outdoor rugs for the living room and lower bedroom. Curtains for the lower two windows, a little sink curtain to hide the storage area, some blackout curtains to divide the bedroom from kitchen and some fresh organic sheets for the loft beds. We worked, read, ate, drank wine and played on the beach. Mike went to bed every night really tired from his more arduous work. Eagles swooped by often and the wood fire stove kept us all cozy.<br />
<br />
One day we had amazing weather and spent the day kayaking, beach combing (Ocoee found dozens of jellyfish) and sipping beers on the beach. I even took a nap in the sun laying against a piece of driftwood. Hubby fished and caught a few pinks and small cod...nothing we ate but fun all the same.<br />
<br />
It was good to get away.<br />

<br />
It is an unfortunate twist of life that in order to be a part of this big, crazy, messy, beautiful world you must also experience loss. Lately we have had a lot of loss in our lives. From coworkers losing jobs, to losing pets both feather and furred, to the worst of all losing people we are close with.<br />
<br />
You are now too little and young to understand loss. We explain the best we can, very truthfully and direct, and add some spiritual guidance such as, "Brodie will always be your doggy in your heart" and "his memories live on". These words are ok by you and you deal ok. We are breaking inside every time we have to bring loss into your lovely little world.<br />
<br />
You too will experience loss. You will lose friendships, jobs, romances and people who you hold close to your heart.<br />
<br />
Sometimes you may even lose yourself. I have been there and it is a raw
feeling. I know you will have the courage to find yourself again and be
the person you were meant to be. <br />
<br />
These losses great and small will hurt your heart. I will be there to offer you words, maybe a little different that when you were two, but trying to comfort you all the same. Moving forward and letting go of grief, loss, guilt.....these are hard goals work towards every moment after you have to let someone or something precious go. <br />
<br />
Little things can also restore you sense of joy and hope. Things such as the dragon fly that landed on my hand today, you making me laugh and kind words from a friend. Healing beauties of our world.<br />
<br />
Lovely bambino, with curly hair and so much to say and share. Look around and find the beauty in the world. Know that in times of loss you must take a breath and know that wonderful moments await you and that this too shall pass. Know always that you are loved.<br />
<br />

Ocoee Dael Fey<br />
<br />
Thank you for giving me the best job of my life. The last few days you have been especially cuddly and sweet. This morning you climbed into the hibernation bed and snuggled me, and this show of physical love really made me happy. Mothers day was a wonderful day to celebrate but the day in and day out love, battles, triumphs, falls and pick me ups are what I really love about being your mom. You will always be my baby.<br />
<br />
Your favorite thing to do these days is "talk" to the chickens. You pet them, chase them, check their food, give them water and yes....talk their little chicken ears off.<br />
<br />
You are also an excellent puzzle master. You can do a 30-45 piece puzzle all by yourself with no help from us the first time. I have no idea where this stacks up to other kids but I am impressed and you really are engaged and enjoying the puzzle time.<br />
<br />
Your sweetness has been amplified as well as your cries....you never, ever threw tantrums before but you will do so now. They are usually indicators that you are overwhelmed and tired. But on the days when you are rested and happy......you are a joy to be with. The tantrum days just mean you need a nap. These are pretty rare.<br />
<br />
You are digging picking out your own clothes and getting dressed. That is one of your new " responsibility" magnets.<br />
<br />
I love you baby girl,<br />
<br />
Your mama<br />

<br />
Nine years ago on Derby Day hubby and I wed. I rushed in after working a shift at the diner a few blocks away that was my main income while going back for another degree to teach. I still smelled of burgers and fries as I quickly changed clothes. We hustled out the door to get downtown to the court house. Our good friends, Katie and Dan, met us there and we all spent about 10 minutes walking around the giant building looking for an open door. It was windy and hot.<br />
<br />
Inside we filled out a little paperwork and then stood in front of the judge while Dan snapped a few pictures. It was dark and I remember thinking I should be really serious but it was hard to be in a serious mood. We had lived together for 2 years, owned our own home and knew we would marry after the first few weeks together. Life had us in a rush at the JOP but what really mattered was I got to marry my best friend.<br />
<br />
After we headed to the Old Market with Katie and Dan and ate at M's pub. It was a fancy meal and quite the treat for all of us back then when we had more opinions than money.<br />
<br />
We had been planning a destination wedding but I felt overwhelmed with family matters and then I got cervical cancer. All of a sudden a ceremony didn't matter as much as legal protections and insurance. We didn't even tell anyone because we still thought we would do a "real" wedding.<br />
<br />
After a few months I decided, our love was real and so was our marriage, lets just tell everyone. Skipping the ceremony and just save for a fabulous trip to Hawaii. I remember having beers outside at Upstream in the Old Market in Omaha when this epiphany hit me.<br />
<br />
My hubby is no fool and jumped at my choice. We sent out letters informing our friends and family and went to Kauai for 2 weeks. It was a truly magical vacation.<br />
<br />
But we were really too young, too silly about commitment and knew nothing of the hard work marriage is. Thankful 9 years later we learned a lot and still love each other. We grew up together and our love grew from, " I love you" to " I love you, like you and sometimes want to strangle you but I will always be here and want to spend my life with you". There were rough patches but the maturity of our love is really one of my greatest prides. I now make my marriage the biggest priority in my life. Our daughter has made us into a family and our love has grown with our family. We aren't young and silly about what commitment means, we know times will be rough but we will get through.<br />
<br />
Thank you hubby for loving me and anchoring me in this life.<br />
<br />
Daughter I hope you find a man as wonderful as your daddy. I hope we can teach you what a marriage takes to work and how to love with your whole heart and head. How to grow and be willing to change together. Happiness isn't cheap, it takes hard work and forgiveness. Here's to 9 more years of happily ever after.<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

Ocoee was really in to Easter this year. We got her a special "Pete the Cat" book that talked about how Easter is about doing things for others. She wanted to do things for her friends at school so we made little treat bags with a rubber ducky, Easter tatoos and organic fruit snacks. She had quite the rubber ducky collection and was happy to get an Easter ducky. It was also her teacher's birthday on Good Friday so she made her a card and picked out a nice Easter Lilly to give her. She loves school and I have to admit her love for her teachers can even make me a bit jealous at times, but I realize the more adults who love and care for her the better.</div>

We made cascarones (eggs shells emptied and wrapped in tissue paper) with our friends, stuffing them with glitter and bird seed. My hubby has officially banned glitter since we are still finding it all over days later. I figure that is a good idea. All of the adults and older kids loved these cascarones that you break and smash over other peoples' heads but Ocoee had a melt down and really hated the glitter and smashing...she loved it last year so I am confident she will come around. She is sensitive and often cries over spilled milk...literally.</div>

The Easter bunny was very generous this year. I told Ocoee that Grandma must have put in a good word for her (thanks grandma) because her basket was overflowing and she also got an amazing dollhouse that will fit her Pakistan doll furniture she received a few months ago from her great-grandma/grandpa Klaasmeyer.</div>

<div>
Her favorite items from her Easter basket were her rubber ducky lollipop, her new bunny in a box and her wooden eggs spelling her name. She adores her new puzzles and I love that she can put them together on her own and it completely mesmerized by them....who needs tv!</div>

The best thing about Easter brunch is how easy and casual it is. We had bagels, croissants, lox, breakfast potatoes, fruit and chips with dip. We ate, hung out, took photos and then hunted eggs. By 5 the house was cleaned up (except the glitter) and we were on the deck enjoying the sunshine. Ocoee spent time telling the chickens all about her day and mommy felt relaxed after a successful holiday in the books. Grandma really made this one special and we only wish we could have been with family as well as friends.Janelle Feyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12295257024305359424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-649610976073134152.post-36084057947481252952014-04-04T14:18:00.003-07:002014-04-04T14:18:43.466-07:00Ocoee update: 2 years, 6 months, 4 daysI walked in the door yesterday around 5:45. I had coached track after school, went to the gym to lift weights, snagged some easter basket goodies at our favorite toy store, and bought some groceries. Hubby was getting Ocoee and starting dinner. After a week of testing at school my mind was already on the pasta dinner and big glass of vino waiting for me.<br />
<br />
Then I opened the door. Hubby was in the kitchen cooking and Ocoee was on the floor, lying between his legs, crying her head off. I scooped her up and asked what was wrong. In between gulps and cries she sad she was sad because daddy wouldn't read her a book.<br />
<br />
Oh sweet baby. First world problems for sure.<br />
<br />
Later hubby explained he read her several books then let her know he needed to begin dinner. Then she melt down. She was a tired baby who wasn't getting much sleep at night. I always say she is an angel......if she is well fed and rested!<br />
<br />
Her favorite things are reading books, putting together puzzles (she is so good at them!) and playing with her babies. Most of her play is imagination play. She is super helpful around the house and does all of her responsibilities on her chart.<br />
<br />
About a week ago for the first time ever she told me for the first time, unprovoked, "mommy I love you". What wonderful words to hear. She also tells me, "you are so nice".<br />
<br />
Man I love that little girl!<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

Ocoee's first fish caught ice fishing on 2/17/14. She really wanted to catch a purple fish, and brought her Melissa and Doug wooden fish game to practice.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Fey family had a particularly great weekend this past week. First it was a four day weekend which is always a plus. Friday was Valentines day. I know a lot of people are cynical about a marketed "love" day but I like any chance to celebrate this one, brief, beautiful life we get! Valentines to me is an extra chance to show people around me how much I love and appreciate them.<br />
<br />
The first thing we did to celebrate is Ocoee, who is learning about sharing, picked out Lorax valentines, organic vitamin C lollipops, and mini-playdoughs for her friends at school. Since she is obsessed with stickers right now she also put some stickers in there. We worked together to get all of her classmates names and pick out the perfect sticker for each one. It was pretty darn cute. She also gave fancy chocolate bars to her teachers, though was a little too shy to give it to them when it actually came time. Since her entire class had the "let's all puke and be sick" funk we dropped off our goodies, washed out hands and got out of there. All of the other parents went out of their way to make the day special and Ocoee had quite the swag bag.<br />
<br />
We also went to brunch at my favorite cafe, snow city, with hubby. It never disappoints and this time was extra special because someone mysteriously bought our brunch. Random act of kindness? Wow. It made my day.<br />
<br />
We are also very blessed to have the world's best grandparents/in-laws. We received packages of goodies, chocolate, art and gifts for the entire family. I am not going to lie, I love getting presents in the mail. It always feels so fun and special.<br />
<br />
Hubby brought Ocoee home a ridiculously big, red and pink lady bug balloon that now sits at the kitchen table with us. It has taken the place of the previuosly gigantic purple octopus that was for hubbys bday. Did I mention we have lots of stickers and balloons in our life right now.<br />
<br />
For each other hubby and I did nice things, for example I gave him a yummy chocolate bar and made extra special yummy pizza for dinner. I also made an awesome "love" playlist on spotify.....the modern mix tape. I put a lot of work into it and I am quite proud of the results. Hubby watched Ocoee at work Friday so I could go to the gym, and each day of the 4 day weekend so I could get back on track working out.<br />
<br />
We also finally got out for some ice fishing on little campbell lake in Anchorage. Mike popped up the ice shack, fired up the heater and passed around the hot chocolate. He caught lots of little fish and was pretty much in bliss. I was less easily entertained but was thrilled when Ocoee caught her first fish. A sweet 6 inch Alaskan black fish. Hubby gave us both a five minute lecture about these fish, but all I remember is that is breathes with lungs.....kinda cool.<br />
<br />
Now we just have to make it through 3 more weeks until Spring Break.<br />
<br />
Also for my friends on the "Outside" Anchorage just got 6-10 inchs of snow and people were celebrating. Business were rejoicing and skiers were all over the trails. Totally different perspective on winter here!<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

Though I love to explore and try new places, my family truly relishes the vacation experience of going somewhere where we know our way around and what to expect. Expectations of sunshine, warmth and fresh fruit were once again met!<br />

After 10 days of family, relaxation, sun, swimming and fresh fruit I felt like a million bucks! Wow, how do I survive the dark winters of Alaska.....Hawaii!<br />
<br />

First I have to say this was the best Christmas ever. We really were able to get in the spirit since Ocoee was old enough to partake in the festivities. She is still singing holiday songs.<br />
<br />
We don't do a lot of gifts at our house since we do a family vacation to Hawaii (post will come soon) and really being together is all we need. Ocoee loved her kitchen from Santa and I loved all the gourmet goodies in my stocking. Ocoee asked for a mouse from Santa and was a good girl since she received two mice! We call them little mouse and big mouse. The other huge hit was the Usborne sticker books from her stocking. She played with these the entire plane ride and in Hawaii. We even hit up the Hawaii Barnes and Noble to get more for the ride home.<br />
<br />
Anyways here are the photos...<br />

Ocoee under the tree, she loved touching the ornaments and called them all her sisters. When we took the tree down she helped me and gave each one a kiss bye when I boxed them up!<br />

Another beautiful tree from Bell's. I finally found the best star topper from Bells this year. We added some new ornaments from a local Alaskan artist from Mike's parents and a new Swarovski for Ocoee's annual ornament.<br />

The train was filled with carolers singing really cool versions of Christmas songs, snacks, decorations, balloon animal artist and Santa!<br />
<br />
It was a blast and we had a little holiday party after that was even more fun. Alaska cooperated with fresh fluffy snow that made the scenery look magical. I really don't think I will ever get over how Christmas-y and Alaskan Christmas looks!<br />

I try hard and mostly fail as I yell at my hubby or sigh and wish I had this or that, but other times I nail it and realize I have it all.<br />
<br />
Having grandpa and grandma Fey come visit this Thanksgiving is something I am truly thankful for. Ocoee got plenty of family times with two people who love her so much and we all sat down to dinner each night and said a little cheers to our wonderful time together. Since I am lacking on the family department I realize what a true gift time with family can be.<br />
<br />
I am also thankful for a happy, healthy Ocoee. She is the happiest part of my day, every day. Happy that she is nailing this potty training thing.<br />
<br />
I am thankful for my amazing husband who is the best example of unconditional love I know. He loves me with all my flaws and shortcomings and that is all a girl really needs.<br />
<br />
I am thankful for the time I have with my aging pup, Brodie and our crazy Guiness. They both receive much less attention these days but bring joy to our hearts.<br />
<br />
I am thankful for my career in education, even on the days when these middle school kiddos suck the life out of me. It feels good to earn a paycheck doing something I can be proud of.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ocoee said at dinner that she was thankful for piggy back rides and panda bears. She has her priorities in line!<br />
<br />
Our holiday week included grandma and grandpa being in town, Thanksgiving dinner at our house with the Berg family celebrating with us, picking out, putting up and decorating a tree, photos with Santa at the tree nursery, and the Nutcracker play. WOO! Busy weekend but so wonderful!<br />
<br />
We also did an early Christmas gift exchange with Mike's parents and we were all very spoiled! Ocoee loved the clay lady bug and bumble bee tic, tac, toe set handmade by grandpa and here red nightgown from grandma. We all felt very lucky! My favorite gift Ocoee received was a charm for her charm bracelet that grandma had specially made that had was a silver with her fingerprint on it.......super cool!<br />
<br />
Check out our many pictures!!<br />

We give her a few weeks to get used to the transition to the 2 year old room at school and then we told her no more diapers except at naps (home only) and bedtime. She gets fancy organic jelly beans from trader joes if she goes potty and a sticker. She has only had 3-4 accidents and has pottied at restaurants and friends houses with no big issues. We are very very happy. When she is done she likes to say bye bye to pee and say, mommy so proud! I guess what we say does sink in. <div><br></div><div>I was so ready to have her potty train. After 2 years of washing cloth diapers I was looking forward to less laundry. Now that it is going so well it has sunk in that this is another milestone. She forges ahead and grows up whether I like it or not. Taking the time to reflect and enjoy these special moments helps but it still seem so fast. </div><div><br></div><div>But cheers to less laundry!</div><div><br></div><div>J<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgId3qXq_-MhzDNp099-cQ4caSqE2uvC3yC-Je8HK-x0FC5YaouOM2HKExIxgshb9esy_NPHVKNMlzHIN0990rTaMR6DOK8iqc8gN-lqhYcIW9-9IdoaD2_f0XgWljDFM30P-7iG8np3ew/s640/blogger-image--212260849.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgId3qXq_-MhzDNp099-cQ4caSqE2uvC3yC-Je8HK-x0FC5YaouOM2HKExIxgshb9esy_NPHVKNMlzHIN0990rTaMR6DOK8iqc8gN-lqhYcIW9-9IdoaD2_f0XgWljDFM30P-7iG8np3ew/s640/blogger-image--212260849.jpg"></a></div></div>Janelle Feyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12295257024305359424noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-649610976073134152.post-18896747428802781092013-11-06T16:01:00.002-08:002013-11-06T16:01:41.232-08:00BOO!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ocoee has loved Halloween this year. We received a pirate costume to borrow a few months before and she practiced dressing up a lot. She still likes to hide at the front door and say boo! to scare her daddy when he comes home.<br />
<br />
For Halloween there was a party at Ocoee's school where we sent some organic juice boxes and organic candy to share. We made treat bags with stickers and rubber ducks that were Halloween creatures. She dressed as a pirate for this party.<br />
<br />
I was so excited for her party. I signed up for a cheese tray and picked up hubby and arrived right at 3. On the way to school that morning Ocoee had said she, "Was ready to party!" I thought heck yeah that is my girl! When we arrived though she was her daddy's girl and said, "Ocoee go home". She then cried and clung to me the rest of the party. By the end she was doing better and eating her fruit and licking the icing off the suspiciously orange cupcake. I thought I was being clever by taking the icing and wiping it off on her plate, but she just took the cupcake and dipped it in the icing on her plate.<br />
<br />
After the party we went to our friends house who were having a party to start followed by trick or treating. Ocoee loves being around the older kids and felt more comfortable there. She is however, like hubby says more of a closer. By the end of the night she was ready to party all night, just as we were saying, nope bed time!<br />
<br />
We had some chili and then set off to houses. For this event Ocoee was a panda. This was also given to us by a friend and was super warm so perfect for Alaska trick or treating. We all felt so blessed that there was no snow for the first time in forever on the ground and it was warm in the 40's.<br />
<br />
My goal was 3 houses. Ocoee did her first 3 not so successfully. She didn't really carry her trick or treat bag, didn't want to say trick or treat or thank you and kept a wide distance between her and the candy givers. All except the house where the lady said she had dogs and brought them over to Ocoee. Then CoCo marched right up and was excited.<br />
<br />
We went back to the party after the 3 houses but Ocoee demanded to, "go more!'. So off we went. She did do a little better but really just wanted to ride on daddy's shoulders and walk the streets looking at the other trick or treaters. She also liked giving candy out back at the party.<br />
<br />
But she was damn cute in her panda outfit. Small kids as animals are just fun!<br />
<br />
She still says shiver me timbers and walk the plank at home all the time. She asks me where my tail is. I had to dress as a cat since she decided that for me weeks before the big day. She will also just look at me and meow. Daddy had to be a ghost and they worked together to make a fun ghost shirt for his costume.<br />
<br />
She also has learned to be afraid. She has never said she was scared or afraid before but with all the Halloween talk she has learned to be afraid. It is sorta sad to me but also kind of funny. She decided a orange squeeze monster ball she got from a goodie bag at school was scary and was hiding from it. Even after I kissed it and said it was a nice monster she was afraid. She literally shivered with fear when I held her....it was so silly and genuine at the same time. I couldn't help but laugh.<br />
<br />
We had a blast carving pumpkins and just getting into the holiday in a way we haven't in a long time. Kids really do make holidays fun.<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />
