An Evening Hike

Saturday, July 21st, 2007

As the weather was lovely and our Saturday was sliding into late afternoon, we decided some geocaching/outdoor time might be in order. We packed the family up and headed to the thriving metropolis of Beaver Dam and entered Stewart Park (Dane county’s first County Park! Established in 1935). This is a nice little park [...]

Look Out, World

Saturday, July 21st, 2007

Here comes Gavin…
He is officially mobile…and already getting into trouble! Thus begins the stage of pulling things out of the mouth and quickly putting them away. Soon we will be retrained in the ways of the infant proof house…
This was taken a few days ago. He is already much faster and will probably be up [...]

Never Forget She’s Watching

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

As the princess grows older, her mind becomes an ever more complicated machine. The things she is learning and remembering–and the rate at which she is doing so!–never ceases to amaze me. I’ve recently been thinking of all big things she has learned just be watching and listening.
A month or 2 ago, I got [...]

A Mommy First

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

Well, I knew it was coming–but maybe not so soon.
I’ve always said how the Princess reminds me of a teen in a three-year-old’s body, so really it should not come as a surprise. From the beginning this girl has had attitude about her. She is certainly spunky. It’s one of those things I love [...]

Death By Plastic and Processed Food

Monday, July 16th, 2007

I have recently come to the conclusion that I am probably killing my kids–or at least contributing to the shortening of their life spans.
There is a mailing list to which I subscribe. It consists of mothers living in and around the city in which we reside. It has been a good source of information, [...]

The Big 10

Sunday, July 15th, 2007

No, I’m not speaking of college football. I’m talking about years of marriage.
This year, on August 22, Adam and I will have been married for 9 years. Wow. This also means that in 2008, we will have been married for 10 years. There’s something surreal about those double digits. We cannot possibly have been [...]

Visit the Castle

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

Be sure to visit the Princess’s Castle to see her “read” her favorite story… It’s too cute to miss! (and I’m not just saying that because I’m her mom!)

Baby Boy Milestones

Friday, July 13th, 2007

The boys have been busy this week!
First of all, after much trial and error over the past couple of weeks, both boys are picking up cheerios and getting about 80% of them into their mouths! They are quite excited about this, as cheerios apparently taste quite nummy to teeny little boys. “Mmm mmm mmm’s” can [...]

We Got the Beat

Future percussionists–or bug crushers?

Not to be Outdone by His Brother

Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007

Gavin shows off his new trick (and growly little toothless grin)
