Little Dragon

Little Dragon

Aw, isn’t “Little Dragons” a cute name for a class full of 4 year old Tae Kwon Do dudes? I thought so, too. Doodle was just a little bit happy, just a little bit excited, and just a little bit awed by the whole white-belt-testing ceremony thing.  Me too. John did martial arts in high school,...

Playing

Playing

I wrote a nice little post.  It took me a while.  And then the connection dropped, autosave failed me, and all I have left are the pictures I’d uploaded. GRRR. Here’s the short version.  Not that I can ever be brief, you know, but I’ll try. The kids invited me to play in the kiddie pool. I accepted. They...

Do you play crochet?

Do you play crochet?

So I stuck C & D in a “creative movement” class.  It was right after C’s ballet, and it was at the same time as the adult clogging.  Seemed like a good thing, especially since I really enjoy clogging.  (That way I “only” had two kids to manage while dancing.  Mm-hm.) Surprise, surprise, they had...

Lately

Lately

She’s been creative lately. And so has her two-year-old brother.  Nothing like straight protein powder while mom nurses the baby. Doodle, on the other hand, has been strong.  Super strong! He was a little bit happy about splitting that board.  I’ll have to load the video of him telling us the story.  Someday. Freedom has been learning to...

Compassion

I love ah-ha moments.  Wish they came more often.  In writing “Part Four: Show Time!” (about F’s delivery) I reminded myself of a sweet little moment that happened a few weeks before Freedom was born.  Then I wrote a few lines and never came back to it.  Well, here it is, finally fleshed out...

3 Boys & a Girl

3 Boys & a Girl

My posts have been a little more rambling, a little less family journal lately, so I shall try to balance the scale a bit here. Baby F – 8 months now.  Just two teeth still, sweet little baby.  He’s just beginning to army-crawl, and he will pull himself to standing.  Mobility, here we come!  He’s...

Just one more

This is the last one, I promise. There is just no end to the things they find to do with these things, but I’ll shut up about it already and let this last picture speak for itself.

To Comment or Not To Comment…

That's a very good question, and while we're thinking about comments, note: I used to live for comments here. Silly, isn't it? I've grown up a little. Now... I am happy to hear from you, but I am also happy to have you drop by, read a little, laugh a little, and move on quietly to whatever else you have to do. This is a guilt-free blog. ;)
