…you realize that however happy you are to have finally gotten her to sleep, you still look forward to her being awake.

I swore, when Angelina and Alexander were babies, that I’d never be one of THOSE moms — the ones who are always hurrying the kids along, getting annoyed when they dawdle. I did really well for the first three or four years but, after the divorce, I found myself more and more telling the […]

We got our new business cards a couple of days ago and boy am I excited!!! The first ones we ordered were really bad! The paper was cheap feeling and the picture was blurry. Lesson learned: don’t always go with the cheapest option. (It worked out okay: we changed the design […]

I signed the kids up for swim lessons today. They don’t start until June 23, but that was the earliest anybody could get them in. Angelina seems to be a bit nervous about it, and is very concerned that she’ll have to go in the deep water. I reassured her that she […]

It isn’t very FAR through yet, but it has broken the gum: I felt it on my fingernail when I was putting an ice cube in her mouth!
Did I mention that Christina eats ice cubes? The other two eat ice too, but nowhere near as much as Christina does; they like to have a […]

*Sorry if this post seems clipped, but I’m trying to do about twenty things before I go to bed, and Christina seems pretty restless tonight. . . .

Angelina lost her second tooth Tuesday!  She came in and woke me up, and was trying to show me her tooth, but I was so tired that I had a very hard time figuring out what was going on.  Finally, I figured it out and jumped up out of bed.  She told me that she […]

Scanned a LOT of things for Kelly today. Her website is coming along really nicely, and she’s getting really excited about it! : )
Christina fell asleep at 2:30, so I didn’t get the kids until almost four. They were on the playground, and they wanted to know if Miss Effie had seen […]

Took Alexander to breakfast at the Allen Cafe this morning. He still remembers the last time we were there, a year ago, when Clint accidentally put syrup on his Mickey Mouse pancake, instead of powdered sugar. (The waitress that time was super nice, and she personally made him a new pancake, free of […]
