I took 20 shots of the kids together like this yesterday. In 9 of them, Sterling did this: Dude! If I hadn’t gotten this one, without the shrug he’d have been in trouble. Or I’d have kept it for that so-fun wedding slide show he’ll have 20 or so years from now. I think I […]
Name that photo.
Getting six kids to all look in the same direction can be difficult.
I’m going to miss this.
I decided to can the tomatoes littering my kitchen yesterday. Before they froze, buckets and bowls were filled with green and half ripe tomatoes. Making green tomato salsa with the green ones, we were left with those that were ripening. I’d never made spaghetti sauce from fresh tomatoes before, but in the end, we have […]
Family Photos: Outtakes
Pierce did not appreciate his introduction to grass. Charlotte: she’ll cry if she wants to. If Ruby can almost pull off sultry at the age of three, what’s next? Sterling’s fake frowny face. As opposed to his real frowny face. It’s much, much crabbier. The worst one I could find of Eden. She’s getting pretty […]
Ramblings of a tired mind.
In the last eight years since I became a mother, I’ve learned just a few hopefully a lot of things. I’ve relaxed about a few things, come to conclusions about a few things, and ran into lots of brick walls in my venture towards what really is (and isn’t) important. In no particular order, a […]
Well, then. The timing of that could definitely have been worse.
Monday, I got my van inspected and relicensed for another year. Friday, I went to take the kids to the zoo and my van won’t start. Bummer. Who knows what that means. (Hopefully dear husband Blaine does… and it’s not expensive.) But really, the timing of this is interesting at best. We weren’t headed anywhere […]
We’ve fallen apart.
After a new baby is born around here, for a little while, everyone is enamored with the baby and jealousy waits. And then, it all falls apart for a little while. We’ve fallen apart. Charlotte doesn’t want Momma to hold the baby, Ruby’s the most obstinate three year old I’ve met, and tears abound from […]
So glad that’s over!
Yesterday, I went to the DMV. And it was fastest, easiest stop of my day. How backward is that? After a dentist appointment for four kids and waiting in the waiting room with the two babies for two hours, going to get the van inspected, only to find out the inspector went to lunch, going […]
Pierce: 3 weeks.
The littlest man around here is three weeks old today. (And drooling milk on his vest.) He’s a super focused sleeper, not so sure he likes his picture taken (or maybe it’s just my flash), and his pre-sneeze face could have so many different funny captions. Baby’s growing.
Life.
Life around here is starting to settle into a new normal. Sleep is more plentiful than it has been with most of my others as newborns – something I’m so thankful for. I’d forgotten how hard it is to get anything done with a newborn – and how often I am forced to sit down […]
