Sorry for the long pause between blogs, but we've been busy (our perpetual state of being anymore)... We wrapped up soccer season some time ago, had about a month's break, now we're on to basketball season. At least Alex decided on Upwards baske...

This past weekend marked a moment in history- we FINALLY had a reprieve from the chaos that rules our world. Yes, we've become that family that is gone every spare waking not-at-work moment. The family that is overly-comsumed with kids and all ...

Wow, What an Exciting First Week of School!

2009-08-14T17:46:02Z

Yeah, you could say that's an understatement... It does not seem fair that kids are now required to go back to school this early. I mean, c'mon-- when I was growing up, we never went back till at least the last week of August, giving us a good ...

He's Growing Up Too Quickly

2009-07-21T12:36:54Z

Within the past year, my now-eleven year-old (as of Tuesday) has figured out (in his words) "all the world's mysteries". He figured out the tooth fairy, then that Santa Claus "was the same thing"; after he started asking questions about sex, we ...

Bringing Back Memories

2009-07-20T13:08:55Z

Our county's 4H fair is going on right now. I really didn't feel like trapsing around in the animal manure again this year, however a couple friends of mine convinced me that I should meet them there. Because I'm such a sucker for peer pressure...

Here is a highlight of our vacation in Delaware so far- keep in mind that we're staying in a beach house about the size of our last apartment with our friends and their four kids... "What time is it?" (because there are no clocks anywhere in not j...

Finally, I Can Catch My Breath

2009-06-24T15:05:12Z

Aw, I finally see the light at the end of a very long, very hectic trip that we've been on since... I don't remember how long it's been, but it feels like about 100 year now. The past year has overall been one big blur, filled with move after mo...

Been a Very Busy Summer So Far

2009-06-20T02:00:40Z

So, what explains my very long absence from Blogworld? Did I fall off the Earth? No. Did I spend the last two-ish months trying to escape from aliens who abducted me? No, not really. Did my children lock me in my room, with no possible way of es...
