Major Life Changes, funny sayings and a lack of pictures

In case having a baby and moving out of state to start a new job isn't enough major life changes we decided to make a few more! With the next few announcements I am sure that many of you will think that we have gone off the deep end, but I assure you that we are still the same old Larsens, just way healthier! Right before we had Madalynn we started thinking about vaccines and how weird it is that you vaccinate a child a few hours after birth for a disease that they aren't going to come in contact with for a while. So we declined that vaccine and started more in depth research and have decided that we will no longer vaccinate our children, especially if we have boys. This led us to researching Prozac (Creed has OCD and has been on Prozac for a few years). We decided that this wasn't really what we wanted so we found that a mix of bee pollen and flax seed oil along with exercise and more sun. We are soon going to add fish oil instead of flax seed. Anyway, Creed has said that his mental health is probably the best that it has been for a long time. We have also decided to cut back on our MSG and sugar in take (you will be surprised and what MSG is in! It is found in almost ALL Campbell products and almost all processed food). We are also eating more fresh fruits and vegetables. All these changes have really helped us to feel really good. We can see a total change in Sarah. She is smarter, less cranky and more loving. We have more patience and adaptability. It has really been good for us as a family!

Sarah has been saying some really funny things lately, it may be the life changes mentioned above, or just Sarah, either way we have all been laughing a ton lately! The other day she was eating a muffin and I was trying to get her dressed so that we could go to the Portland Zoo (which is another post to come later!) and I told her that I needed to take her clothes off and she asked "is it so they don't get muffiny?" I laughed which then made her laugh! The other day we were in the car and she said, "do you see something?" I said, "yes I see trees. Do you see trees?" She said, "No, they are green, oh, I see them!" It made us laugh. She also believes that her cousin Parker is her prince and that they are going to get married in the temple. We tell her she has the getting married in the temple part right, but that she will probably not want to marry Parker, though he is a handsome prince!

In other news, yes this post is lacking pictures, sorry it is just too late to post them, so next time I promise! Madalynn is growing big. She is going to be bigger than Sarah was I can feel it! She also is so smiley and she loves to coo! It is just the cutest thing ever! Sarah is loving having a baby sister, we think this might also be due to the diet changes, she is just so loving where as before she didn't like Madalynn at all. I got a new calling, okay so I got the calling over the 4th of July and there was a ton going on so I can't remember if I mentioned it or not, but I am a ward missionary and I love it! I love learning and going back to just the basics. I love learning from the new members and seeing the gospel through their eyes. It really is a neat experience! I hope they let me keep this calling for awhile (they just found out that I am musically inclined and I really just want to keep this calling!)
