I had an epiphany on Monday morning. Marc’s going to be gone for a bit next week, and this past Monday it hit me: I should paint the master bedroom and get new carpet put in at the same time. Marc HATES home renovations, so he has the joy of missing it. I LOVE home [...]
I said this 20 minutes ago on Twitter: Olivia’s been washing her hands (with the tap on low) for about 5 minutes now. I guess I should go stop her.
I saw this 19 minutes ago in the bathroom 10 feet away from the computer desk:
Yep. The girl had been washing her hair, very quietly and [...]
Do you ever have those days where everything seems under control and things are going along nicely and then, for no obvious reason, things just slowly get out of control?
I think that’s what’s going on today. I spent the morning puttering. Putting away laundry. Cleaning our room. Packing for Marc’s trip. Dancing with the kids. [...]
When Madeline was a baby all of the Friends seasons were being released on dvd. By the time she was Olivia’s age (21 months), Madeline could name by sight each of the friends. It was awesome.
When Luke was a baby we were going through our Arrested Development stage (God rest its Fox-cancelled soul). But he [...]
That’s right. It means, “I just told my mom that I need to go potty, so she put me on the toilet and I pooped, and now I get to play with all of this toilet paper while she goes to get the camera!”
The good news about Olivia being a copy-cat: she’s been asking to [...]
Madeline’s homework from tonight. It’s all correct. But the teacher’s sure going to have fun checking it!
So things over here are going pretty well — quite well, actually. Luke hasn’t been in too much pain. We just make sure he gets his Tylenol every 4 hours and he’s good. He’s been eating reasonably well, drinking quite a bit, and, of course, having lots and lots of popsicles. (I think it’s going [...]
I don’t know what to say.
I’m so tired lately. Marc’s and my little brains have been swimming with what needs to be done these days and what’s going to happen and where we’re heading in the months to come. It feels like if we could just pinpoint and itemize a nice little list that we [...]
(And when did this space of mine become a video blog?! Must be because Marc showed me how to use the “embed” feature from YouTube…)
Oh, and while we’re on the subject, while I have below minimal interest in politics anymore, I’m pretty excited to see some positive changes in the US and the world with [...]
Here’s a great bit from a couple “kids” from our church — two of Phil and Janet’s kids (their other two are our babysitters). (Janet’s the piano player at our church who sings harmony with me every Sunday. Which basically means that I love Janet very, very much. She doesn’t even know how much.) (Phil [...]
