Can’t win at losing.

1 cleared garden plot + 1 lawn mower to mulch up the, ahem, vegetable plants pulled = 1 shattered pane in the double-paned sliding glass door Now that must have been one rock hard cherry tomato. Or a rock – it is Missouri soil after all. Just to be an optimist, it was the foggy […]

Calendar confusion and scared stripes – or something like that.

Ah, the busy-ness of this house has taken over. Between that and the internet seeming to only like Blaine, I’m finally getting this updated. And just for the record, first I wrote business. Because that should be busyness. And while business works there too, I fixed it. Because, well, “business” is something I have to […]

Charlotte’s chunking up! She’s 9 lbs 15 oz at three weeks old. She’s gained two pounds since birth. Such a sign of success in the breast feeding department. 🙂 The turtleneck I attempted to put on her this morning was tighter than any turtleneck ought to be though – so much for that shirt. It […]

Photos!

October 13, 2010 by Adrienne

Charlotte had a little photo session today (and a few last week!) and I picked a few to post. She’s two and a half weeks old, her three week appointment is next week, not this week – something that would have been nice to have remembered before I got all the kids dressed and in […]

We’re all alive and well. Having a hard time finding time enough to do all that my day requires, but that’s not exactly a new thing. I spent about five hours today working on getting new stickers for another year on the license plates. Went to the old inspection place, found out they don’t do […]

It’s a girl!

Charlotte Serenity was born yesterday afternoon at 4:08 pm in terrifically impressive fashion. She weighed in at a small-for-one-of-ours 7 lbs 14 oz and was 20.5 inches long. We’re both quite well and I’m so excited to finally get to meet her!

Viewer discretion advised.

If my internet decides to cooperate, I’ll post a photo on here. It’s rather disturbing, I’m sorry. There’s a reason I avoid mirrors these days. We’re in a homeschool co-op this year, and I’m helping out in the elementary music class. The looks on some of the 5th-6th grade girls are quite funny. They look […]

Just killed the biggest tarantula I never wanted to see. It was inches from my sleeping son’s head and the body mass was size of my fist, plus giant furry legs. Yes, I screamed. Called Blaine afterward and he laughed at me and my panic. He’s so in the doghouse. But rest assured, when Blaine […]

Washed a load of gender-neutral clothes so the baby won’t be naked until I get the right tub of clothes out after it’s born. First Ruby tried to put the teeny shoes on herself, then gave up and held each and every item up to my belly, then pulled on my belly and told the […]

Back, momentarily and without much forethought. Sorry folks.

September 11, 2010 by Adrienne

We lost our internet and my phone’s service the day after my last post, and the internet connection I’m currently trying to use is interesting to say the least. It’s taking me back to the days of dialup… for a much higher than dialup price. Grr, Alltel. We have hot water! It’s been cleared, tested, […]
