Ah-two!

Ah-two!

Two.  What a marvelous age! This little monkey man is at the stage most would call “handful.” How’s that? Well, let’s just say I discovered this week that he has the amazing ability to turn a bottle of glue into a 35-ft trail across the house… in all of about 30 seconds.  Maybe he needed the trail...

Huzzah!

June 26, 2010
Huzzah!

Once upon a time there were three pairs of jeans. One fit well and was well-loved.  So well loved there came to be big holes over the knees.  The second and third pairs were cute – but didn’t fit so well.  Not really.  Not after four little heirs to the throne came along. And so the...

D’ya ever?

D’ya ever?

Have one of those days… Where it takes you fully 30 minutes to just wake up because you spent all night consoling a sick/in-pain colicy baby? Where you’re still in your PJ’s at 9:30?  (Ugh!!!) Where your oldest boy FINALLY follows directions to get dressed for the day… when he changes into his Tae Kwon Do uniform...

Letting Go…

Letting Go…

Thanks to your motivating comments on one of my recent posts, I did my thrift store run the very next day.  Go me!   <I s’pose I already mentioned it in Saturday’s post… but… oh well.  I wrote this first, actually.  And I took no pictures of the mountain we dropped off.  Sorry.> Turns out,...

The last of it

The last of it

Here we go again! Ever determined to absolutely annihilate the clutter – not just shuffle it around like I used to do – I happily bring you another update. What happened to the stuff when I cleaned out my hiding-junk-cupboard? And the not-so-stealthily-hiding-junk shelf? Well, the trash got trashed, the give-away-stuff got given away (or is bagged for...

Not Wordless but Wet

Not Wordless but Wet

Freedom is 7 months old now. In fact, he’s only really cried in the bath once, which is pretty amazing to me. (Can’t blame him.  It was -ahem- slightly less than room temperature water.  Whoops!) All my other babies hated baths when they were new. Water birthing side-effects?  Maybe?

Well *that* narrowed it down…

April 28, 2010

Setting: Primary (the class for children at church, where they get to sing and hear scripture stories and sing some more) Spot Light child time!  Yay! Everybody stands up, and a teacher reads from a simple bio-sheet the parents filled out previously.  We don’t have a huge Primary, so the teachers all fill them out to....

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. ;)
