Monday night as we were all loaded into the van trundling down the Babunya’s (a.k.a. “Hubby’s Mom”) house for dinner, I could have sworn I heard the word “damn” ushering from my darling eight-year old daughter’s lips. Not only that, but it was being pronounced in the same way you would hear it from a [...]
George’s youngest brother Jon got married on Saturday. Four of the kids plus George were in the wedding, and George’s brother David and his family were up from Arizona. Their kids are around the same ages as ours, so they had a wonderful time playing together. They regularly ask to go visit or when the [...]
This morning as we were barreling down the freeway my children began to sing the Twelve Days of Christmas because really, Christmas is a mere four months away!! This delightfully repetitive and obnoxious song that is pretty much the holiday equivalent of 99 bottles of beer on the wall began to evolve after about the [...]
WooHoo! Looks like we may finally be making potty training progress with Miss Faithyroo. She’s pretty close to Georgie territory on how long she’s been taking to train. Georgie was four months but Trinity was only a week, Anika one month, and Kyra two weeks start to finish. Faith here is somewhere around three months, [...]
We are going to Wildlife Safari on Friday. I’m so excited! It’s this huge drive through animal park where the animals are in their own habitats and wonder around while you drive right through the middle in your car. Ostriches come up to your windows and all kinds of stuff. I’m so excited! We’ve been [...]
Trinity is off at Babunya’s (Hubby’s Mother) house this week, as per her birthday request, so we are down one child. It’s quite strange how the entire character of the house changes when one of the kids is missing. Hmmm, this is probably a preview of how it will differ when someone heads off to [...]
This was the girls’ ballet recital from Sunday. You can tell who the big ham is in our family! In case you have seen us for awhile, in the beginning when they all line up Anika (our six year old) is the teeny tiny one in the center and Trinity (our seven year old) is [...]
Apparently if you take enough rotten pictures of your new baby, your photographer husband will get disgusted enough to take some attractive pictures for you. Why didn’t I think of that before? This is what happens when Mommy takes pictures (these are from May 2nd): Since crying clearly wasn’t getting Mommy to stop taking pictures, [...]
You know how some babies are easy going all the time and barelycomplain about anything? Well, Henry isn’t one of them. He’sdisturbingly like his older brother was when Georgie was a baby ~ fussy all the time and cries if you put him down for three minutes together. Kind of makes me worried, not for [...]
Ahhh, busy week around here. I can always tell when I’m feeling better because the house all of a sudden looks really messy and drives me bananas. Saturday morning I spent three or four hours cleaning out the big kids’ trash trap of a bedroom. Four garbage bags full of broken toys and miscellaneous paper [...]
