Due Date

Laura had the first ultrasound for our next child. According to all the information we have (an exact science using size of fetus, date of last menstrual cycle, “reading” chicken bones, and some phrases uttered in Aramaic) the baby is due April 27. This means, if history is any indication, we’re going to have our…

Whoops?

By |

Kid number 6 is due towards the end of April. It’s not like we were trying, actually we were sort of trying to be careful. Things happen. People ask if we know what we’re going to have. There are two things wrong with this. First, Laura is only about 7 weeks pregnant, a little too…

With all of the younger kids in school my mornings have finally opened up. More laundry getting done. More blogging getting done. And now time to visit the dentist.

Last Day Out Of Summer

This last weekend was the Labor Day holiday weekend here. Well, it was probably where you are too.

Lost And Off Task

By |

I haven’t had as much time and opportunity to blog about the trip as I had initially planned. I thought I would have more time, but that’s not the case. Almost every day we’re out of the house by 10 in the morning and by the time we return and get dinner and the kids…

The Sight To Unsee

By |

Xavier, newly 3 years old, is mostly potty trained. He still wears a diapers during nap and overnight. So I wake him from nap this afternoon and I can already smell it. Opening up his diaper he put his hands over his eyes and exclaims “Ooh, gross! I don’t want to see it!” My reply?…

A Crock Of A Crock?

By |

My Crock Pot died.   Again.   And yes, I capitalized the name, because it’s a proper name, I not only have a “slow cooker” but it’s the brand I use.   My previous one died a few months ago after being in use for several years. And I used the heck out of it,…

This blog post is directly inspired by this tweet:   Sweet! Emma & I will be adding another state to the list next month. How many states and/or countries have you been in? — Britt Reints (@missbritt) April 24, 2013   This can sort of be seen as a companion to an earlier blog post…
