I’ve found a couple of things that have really helped me lately in keeping up with everyone. They are nothing ground breaking, but I thought I’d share.
Helpful tips:
1. Prepare breakfast sippy cups the night before. This is huge! As soon as the kids wake up they all seem to want something and yesterday!. [...]
In case there is anyone that actually comes to my site for anything more than pictures of adorable children, I thought it’s about time I post an update.
I’m down to 2 kids in diapers now!!! Maddie potty trained herself!
On a Saturday, about three weeks ago, I was lazy and didn’t chase down Maddie after [...]
My love spoke and said to me, “arise; my darling; my beautiful one, and come with me”.
See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone.
Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land.
The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoing vines [...]
My funny and talented manchops made this: http://dblogit.com/archives/maddie-dancing
Enjoy! I know I did.
Since my hubbie is a g33k I have this totally unfriendly to tecknoidiots tricked out computer that uses Linux. It’s usually not all that bad. Manchops can pretty much give me step by step instructions on how to do things and I do pretty well. But, if something pops up that is not in [...]
Christian is a faux hawk rockin’, deep blue eyed, talking genius. He seriously says just about everything Maddie does. His vocabulary and grasp of conversation constantly amaze me.
At dinner the other night, he looked out the window and said “It’s dark outside”. He’s only a year and a half! He sings the alphabet with Maddie, [...]
At my meetup playdate:
Hey Renee, would you mind snapping some pics of me and the kids so I can get the grandparents of my back some updated pictures?
Ok kids, everyone look at the camera
Any one else notice how fast I’m reproducing? 4 kids?
Maybe this will work…I’ll just follow the kids around, showing up behind [...]
Labor started with me grumpily getting on Dustin’s case, tripping over the dog, and then drenching Dustin and I in amniotic fluid. Oh the romance of labor.
I’d like to say that my first reaction was to exchange a look with Dustin that expressed the miracle of us creating life together and how amazing the next [...]
While at the post office waiting in line to send off the Thistle Hill package to Christina, this happened:
Christian: (From his perch on my hip) “Where’s Daddy?”
Maddie: (Pauses from pulling all the padded envelopes off the shelf) ” Daddy’s at work”
I almost started crying right there. I looked around at the other two people in [...]
I’m sorry my posting has been so infrequent. It usually drops off for me during the third trimester.
Can you believe it….She’s almost here! Last week at my midwife apt. she said, see you in two weeks. Two weeks?! We’re to that point already? She smiled, put her hand on my shoulder and said “Mary, we [...]
