Sterling and Ruby had their yearly physicals yesterday. Sterling was one inch taller and 2/10 of one pound heavier than Ruby. He didn’t care how much; he just wanted to know he was still bigger. I think Ruby passing him up is his worst fear. The look on his face when the doctor told him […]
Discovery Center
We went to the Discovery Center in town on Friday. We… wore the kids out on a giant gerbil wheel,played with a bit of static electricity, played doctor, used the blood pressure cuff as a doll diaper changing pad, and attempted to anchor the evening news. It was a fun day. The kids were really […]
Pierce: 15 months
One dear boy, fresh into the world of walking practices his steps every chance he gets hauls toys around to prove brute strength and busts a bronc or two in his spare time. It’s a hard life.

Overachievers.
Liberty and Eden were sent up to the woodpile in the pasture to put a week’s worth of wood in the back of the pickup. They were pretty excited to hear that the amount they threw in the pickup would last at least twice that long. Overachievers.
Christmas monkeys.
I sewed 17 sock monkeys in the last month and a half. Ten of them were for my kids and their cousins who were here for Christmas. Fun stuff.
Need? Or want?
Yesterday, after much deliberation and trolling Craigslist, we bought a new-to-us refrigerator. The one we’ve had for the last five years is 18 cubic feet. Small. We measured our space available, and headed out. We bought one that’s 25 cubic feet, water and ice in the door… in short, everything the one I’ve had isn’t. […]
Temper, temper.
Pierce has a fierce temper. I know this. Still, I was surprised to find this when I went to get him out of bed after his nap that he refused to take. Instead, he spent the time displaying his anger, not only verbally, but also physically from the evidence: Poor monkey lost his mouth. The […]
Book Review
I was recently asked to review the book The Reunion by Rachael McIntire. It was published by Elisha Press. The Reunion is a novel meant to be read aloud to your whole family or enjoyed by readers around age ten and up. My kids were clamoring for me to read “just one more chapter” each […]
Grit your teeth and smile.
My favorite photo out of the Christmas bunch – she just looks so tolerant, doesn’t she?! I think she likes her new backpack. He couldn’t stand it, he was so excited. He loves his sister. Feigned glee over a gift she helped me pick out… Dawning realization that the pile of tubes they were looking […]
