Calling it a day after that one.

January 13, 2010 by Adrienne

Let me start with a disclaimer – we live in town. Not a bad neighborhood from anything we’ve seen, but we’ve got neighbors. Lots of them. We went for a walk today. The kids had been itching to go for a bike ride, it’s been well below freezing for many days now, and it’s finally […]

Maybe…

With Blaine gone, I let Eden sleep with me last night. She was thrilled. This morning, I told her that she was a great bed companion – I really expected to be pushed out of bed, kicked, something, but she did great. Her reply? “Yeah, but you kept taking the blankets. I kept having to […]

Teething at it’s finest.

January 8, 2010 by Adrienne

Yesterday I thought Ruby fell asleep in the shopping cart. A good 20 minutes into her full-face plant into the handle, one of the kids ran up to her yelling. I scolded them for trying to wake her up and was informed she WASN’T sleeping. She’d been chewing on the handle the whole time. Ewwww. […]

Thank you, Eden.

In the dressing room at Target:“Mom, your belly looks kinda like fireworks.”What?!“You know, your belly button is the middle and the lines are like the fireworks.”Be still, my beating heart. The words I’ve so longed to hear.“Eden, YOU gave me those lines.”“So did Liberty and Sterling and Ruby, right Momma?”“Yeah, they helped too.” Way to […]

Cookin’.

Sterling loves to cook.

Resolutions

December 31, 2009 by Adrienne

I looked up the word “resolution”. I typed it into dictionary.com, to be exact. I have a dictionary floating around the house somewhere, but I didn’t bother to find it. That’s so… yesterday. 🙂 At any rate, I was wondering if resolve means to decide to do something differently, or if it just means to […]

Random Christmas Photos with a personal narration by me…

December 30, 2009 by Adrienne

Some random photos from Mom’s camera – because she’s better at uploading photos off her camera than I am! I’ll narrate, but I make no guarantees for clarity. With as much nastiness as I have in my head right now, clarity is not likely. Ruby shared her cold very well, Eden’s been on the couch […]

Bleach can’t handle Eden.

December 28, 2009 by Adrienne

The tree is down, the house is mostly clean. My parents are headed north to face the storm they missed, Ruby generously shared her cold with Sterling and I, likely Blaine as well, but hopefully not Grandpa and Grandma. The pine needles have been cleaned up – but I’ll likely find them for months to […]

Christmas 2009

December 21, 2009 by Adrienne

Our Christmas letter… if you didn’t get one, didn’t get one yet… or something like that! If you want to get technical, this is a year late. I didn’t get a letter sent out last year at all. But if you’re getting this before Christmas 2009, I’m going to consider it on time anyhow. Some […]

December 21, 2009 by Adrienne

Yesterday on the way to church we were about two blocks from home when Blaine realized he forgot something. He turned, I didn’t grab the crockpot full of pulled pork fast enough… can you see where this is going? Yep, on the floor. Not just tipped, propelled across the front seat’s floor. Some neighborhood dog […]
