One Saturday morning, a few weeks back, we went to the Farmer’s Market. The hubby’s parents went, too, as they were visiting for the day. This particular market is set up is on the Capital Square, so all of the market booths are around one large block surrounding the state capital building. It’s slow moving, [...]
This …odd…almost…rested…feeling that I have.
It seems vaguely familiar but I cannot quite place it…
Oh! I know! Thank Hypnos (or whoever may have been responsible)–I managed to get some semblance of sleep last night!
The Aunt and Uncle sat for the kids last night while I was doing the neighborhood bunco thing, and hubby had to go [...]
Seriously, could someone tell my children that 5am is not really a good time to get up (no matter what the sun says?)
This is what last night looked like:
8:00pm- The boys are fed and put to bed
8:30pm- Lidia goes to bed (fabulous bed time! No issues at all)
10:15pm- Gavin wakes up. I went ahead [...]
Last night I dreamed the boys woke up and had about 5 teeth each! They were biting me like crazy. Don’t remember anything else, though.
On the real teething front, Liam has been a bear, trying to “bite” anything that comes near his mouth. He has a bump on his lower gum, so he’ll probably get [...]
When we brought the Princess home, we had a few months of wakeful nights. It was never terrible, by any means. At most she would wake up 2 or 3 times, and never for long. In the very beginning it was often. After a while it subsided, then we hit another patch somewhere in the [...]
As a parent you find yourself saying things that you probably never imagined yourself saying.
I had such an instance today as I heard the following words come out of my own mouth.
“No, do NOT lick your brother’s head, that is gross.”
Brother thought it was hilarious, which didn’t help matters at all.
How does one say [...]
From day one, we have been quite lucky that the Princess has been a stellar traveler. That first car ride from orphanage to apartment was only slightly cranky (and mostly because of the fact she was bundled so tight in the cold that she could hardly move). Subsequent car rides to airports followed suit. She [...]
So recently I had (and remembered) another strange dream.
We were visiting my mother (nothing unusual, right?) but for some reason there were all these extra kids there. My mother, apparently, was doing Foster Care. I mean, yay mom and all, but come on? She’s kind of past the child rearing days. Anyhow. Whilst we were [...]
How ironic that this day should fall on Father’s Day this year. It has been three years, and you have missed so much. You have gained 3 new grandchildren in my children. It has always been my worry (and my sadness) that you would never meet my children. In the middle of the illness that [...]
