Our oldest son, Liam, is a devout lover of all things mechanical. I think it’s amazing how innate it is in him. Although I was worried that he would be a sissy because of three bossy, older sisters, I never pushed him in any direction as far as toys go. He just [...]

WALL-E-AM

I got a couple of pictures of Liam and Sean together. Liam was a bit wiggly, so Sean ended up getting slightly head-butted….thus the look of displeasure on his face! But I still got a couple of cute ones.
Liam is a good brother. He only did something mysterious with Sean [...]
8-week Photos

I took some pictures of Sean over the last couple of days. They actually turned out pretty good! He is getting so expressive and losing his newborn look. That always happens too fast….
Pictures never do the cuteness of children justice though. Sean’s smile is much sweeter in person! [...]
How Dirty!
Posted in house, tagged cleaning on January 29, 2009 | 3 Comments »
My house is/was so nastily out-of-order that it took all of yesterday to get a little over halfway cleaned. Of course this was interrupted by a fussy baby and many feedings. I’m worried that I won’t be able to get the rest of it done today, so I’ll be in this continual battle [...]
Seeds

I received my seeds from Seed Saver’s over the weekend! I opened them up and showed the kids. Arden is really excited about the garden. She keeps asking me when we are going to put the seeds in the ground. She also doesn’t like my answer when I tell her that [...]
Something Garden-ish

It has been awhile since I talked about the actual farm, so I’ll do that today. Ever since I put away my last jar of canned pumpkin in the cabinet I’ve been ruminating over how I want to do this year’s garden. I didn’t have much luck last year, thanks to the drought [...]

Breakdown of pounds I gained through the years:
10 lbs- post-marriage/pre-Lilly
18 lbs.- post-Lilly
10 lbs.- post-Liam
7 lbs.- post-Sean
My first goal was to get into a certain pair of jeans that I bought. I was able to do so about a week ago. My second goal is to get rid of my Sean weight. That [...]
Excited

I don’t know what it is, but I have a lot of excitement about this year, 2009. This excitement is partly about a new garden season just around the bend. I’m hoping that I’ll have a more successful attempt this year than last. I have some more experience under my belt and [...]
Caught Ya’

I’ve been trying to get pictures of Sean sucking his thumb since he was born. But everytime we tried, he would stop before we could get the camera ready. He only sucks his thumb when he’s REALLY hungry.
I also wanted to post some pictures that show how big he’s getting. He’s really [...]
Crazy Days….Daze?
Posted in Uncategorized on January 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I am so much in need of a schedule and a little bit of energy. As much as I loathe cleaning, I still don’t like to see my dishes piled up and the laundry not done. But the last couple of days have been CRAZY!!! It’s funny how things will move right [...]
