On My Watch

July 24th, 2008 · 6 Comments · Adventures, Dads, Family, Milestones, Parenting

I don’t really know how it happened. But, I know it didn’t happen on the playground. Or at the pool. Or while fighting with a sibling.
It happened in our hotel room just after returning from dinner. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Lukie run through the room. [...]

Sweet

May 21st, 2008 · 2 Comments · Family, Milestones, Parenting, School

This morning *sniff* was kindergarten graduation. I know everyone says things like this, but I can’t get over how fast the year went. It seems like the first day of school was just yesterday.
As you can see (for more pics, click on flickr in the left hand column), the kindergarten class had a [...]

They’re All Animals

April 18th, 2008 · No Comments · Family, Milestones

Sam, for some reason, seems to enjoy Cheerio the most. (Yes. CheeriO - not CheeriOS. Cheerio is our yellow lab.) Maybe it’s because they see eye-to-eye. Maybe it’s because Sam’s not so busy yet with other things that the dog keeps him entertained.
Or, maybe it’s because he’s part dog himself.
Yesterday afternoon, [...]

Ewwww…

March 21st, 2008 · 4 Comments · Family, Milestones, Parenting

You know it has to be bad if I’m posting twice in one day.
While I was surfing this evening, I had The Little Boys in the tub. I know, I know. Those of you who have one, maybe even two children, would never leave your child(ren) in the tub for even a second [...]

A Big Day for Lukie

January 1st, 2008 · 2 Comments · Family, Milestones, Parenting

Well, we finally decided that Lukie needed a Big Boy Bed.  I guess I decided (and Dan agreed).  For some reason it’s been eating at me the last week or so.  Ever since he’s been completely potty trained (thank God), Luke’s been talking about what a Big Boy he is.  He can now reach the [...]

Pride

December 4th, 2007 · 4 Comments · Family, Hidden Talents, Milestones, Parenting, School

Well, if pride is one of the Seven Deadly Sins (and I’m pretty sure it is) Maria and I are six feet under.
Maria’s grin couldn’t have been bigger yesterday when I picked her up from preschool. Proudly, she thrust out her chest and across it were three stickers: “I know my birthday!” [...]

The cutest pumpkin

November 6th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Milestones, Parenting, Picture Taking

If you could see my computer, this is what you’d see (I have it as my desktop background):

I have to say, it’s my favorite Halloween picture. (And yes, I’m still feeling sentimental about his walking running.)

He walks…

November 4th, 2007 · 6 Comments · Milestones, Parenting

I am fresh out of babies.

Sam’s walking.
At sixteen months, he held out a little longer than his siblings, but not by much. He’s been taking a few steps here and there for a month or so now, but over the last few days he’s morphed into a two-legged, upright creature. He’s traded in [...]

Numero Dos

October 21st, 2007 · No Comments · Dads, Milestones, Parenting

For some reason (I personally believe it’s hereditary - on my husband’s side) the boys in this family are resistant to potty training when it comes to the number 2 thing.
Jack was so resistant and I was so persistent, it caused us both a lot of problems.  Some painful, some disgusting.  So, when Luke started [...]

Not-So-Sweet Lukie

October 11th, 2007 · No Comments · Milestones, Parenting

Okay, so I know it’s cheesy, but we have been calling Luke “Lukie” now for most of his life. He even calls himself Lukie. What can you do? His name, however, is not exactly the subject matter for this blog entry.
You may have noticed that I put this entry under the “milestone” [...]
