We’ve known for a while now that we’d eventually need a bigger vehicle to fit our growing family. I mean, we can squeeze 3 carseats in the Sonata, but it would be WAY tight until Breanne could sit in a backless booster. We felt a change was probably needed. So, when the [...]
So I love muffins. Making them and eating them. Just not cleaning the pan. But that’s a different story. Today I made these muffins, only instead of raisins, I added chocolate chips. They were excellent. I served them with this apple butter that I made a few months ago. [...]
So yesterday, Cory was talking with Breanne about continents. The conversation went something like this:
Cory: Do you remember the name of the continent next to Asia? We talked about it the other day.Breanne: Umm, I don’t remember.Cory: It’s Europe, remember?Breanne: I-rup?Cory: No, Europe.Breanne: I-rup?Cory (frustrated): No! Europe!
Me: [...]
“When you choose mothering, you’ve chosen a form for your life. You have instantly imposed upon yourself a certain level of responsibility. You will have to choose more carefully where to put your resources, particularly your time and energy and probably your money as well. But as those elements settle into spots [...]
So I LOVED Time Out for Women, which I was fortunate enough to attend this weekend. I’ll try to post about that tomorrow, as my notes are not within my reach tonight. Instead, I will tell you a ridiculous story.
A few weeks ago, we visited NH and Boston so Cory could attend a [...]
Today we were surprised with not one but two visits from cousins–and it was fantastic.
First of all, Shilo, Audrey and baby Ellie came down. Breanne and Audrey spent a little time playing princesses, eating oranges, and making bracelets:
And is this not the cutest little girl? Love those dimples!
And so sweet asleep…
And then, Chris, [...]
Today I found myself thinking “man I wish these pants were more flattering and didn’t require me to pay attention to my legs.”
I was asked at least 4 times tonight how much longer I have until the baby comes.
Breanne is actually really good at rolling cookie dough into balls.
Apparently our dining room window [...]
Things that made me laugh today:
–Jake trying to take out the bench at El Roncho–Breanne trying to tell Cory about McDonald’s, and his refusal to understand her until she said the word correctly–Janey walking around with a zebra poking out of her mouth–Janey’s fake laugh every time she saw a dog–the Baby’s hiccups
Things that didn’t [...]
Ok, so as much as I really wanted to get back into blogging, I am just not feeling it right now. I will continue to post every day, I think, because I’m hoping to get some sort of inspiration and desire to write, but I’m running out of things to say. I need [...]
Just a couple photos today–long days full of meetings and other such things make me tired.
First–Janey was enthralled by the snow that fell a couple weeks back:
And Breanne has learned to write more than just my name, though her penmanship and ability to write straight need a little work…
(Janey is written around the word “Dad,” [...]
