Brushing our teeth. It’s something we do every day. I’ll admit, it is often a time where my mind wanders to the billions of things I need to get done, or to the billions of things I forgot to do. Or sometimes I’m just standing there, still trying to doze off while I get this [...]
If you have ever spent much time with a toddler, you have probably become familiar with at least some of the Toddler Property Laws. If not, let me share them with you.
1. If I like it, it’s mine.
2. If it’s in my hand, Its mine.
3. If I can take it from you, it’s mine.
4. If [...]
So, on Saturday, we were driving on the beltline, headed over to the Tanck’s house when this car passes us. I was not paying a whole lot of attention (as a typical adult) to the cars around (no, I was not driving). However, Lidia, as always, had her eyes glued out the windows to see [...]
This morning, before breakfast, Lidia looks at me and says “Mommy, I want chocolate.”
Oh yes, there is no doubt that she is her mother’s daughter….
I added 3 new albums that I’ve been meaning to put up, so wanted to just put in a little note for each of them.
Friday, May 19, 2006 we spent the day at The Kalahari Water Park in Wisconsin Dells. Sara’s parents (Calebs grandparents) attend a convention there each year. Sara and Caleb usually go [...]
On Thursday night, a very quiet storm rolled in after a beautiful and warm day. There was a little bit of lightning and the occasional soft thunder rolling across the sky. As we sat down to begin the bed time ritual of a story and snuggles, suddenly there began the sound of a hundred golf [...]
On our way out of town Saturday night, we got the perfectly timed call of “Mama! I pee-pee!” There just so happened to be a rest stop ahead. As we are walking in, oh JOY of JOYS! Lidia found— MONEY! She about knocked me over trying to get to this beautiful penny laying on [...]
While we made the 2 hour trip to visit “Poppa” and Grandma, I happened to have the digital camera and took a couple cool shots (in my opinion)
I must have had the camera just right to capture her angelic aura… *snicker*
And this one I just love… I am just going to call it “Drive”
At any [...]
As I sit here and listen to Lidia crying “mama, I want yatti” (water) I can’t help but shake my head and laugh (inwardly). I have been listening to this outcry of heartbrokeness for nigh 5 minutes now. Periodically it gets louder, as the body is dramatically thrown to the floor.
It is so difficult to [...]
Lids had her 2 yr check up on January 3rd. She is now 30.4 lbs and 34 inches! She is really growing. When we brought her home, she was 9th percentile in height, and 14th or so for weight–now she is 60th for height and 88th for weight!!! Way to grow!
That’s all I have time [...]
