If Heather hasn't been writing recently, that means I'm not writing at all... First, the basement - after all of the ongoing water problems, and finding out this year that only fixing the gutters was not going to fix the entire problem, and if one is going to get water a couple times a year,...

Midwife Appointment, 29 Weeks

12/16 - Headed up in the snow for another midwife appointment. I gained more weight this time, but Thanksgiving was in between visits... My iron was low again, despite diligently eating that horrible molasses, but she was suspicious that her hemoglobin tester is off... (More)

Very Busy November

Actually, the only thing written in my pocket notes from all this time is that on 11/16, Jon solved the mirror cube with his eyes closed. Jonathan's 7th birthday was a very fun time. He got a lot of cool presents and had a lot of cool people over to play. Grandma and Dad-o were... (More)

Book List

I haven't done one of those Facebook lists in a while, and a couple friends filled this one out, so I thought I'd join in. This list apparently comes from the BBC, who said that the average person has only read 6 of these. Seems like a small number to me, but since the average... (More)

A Full, Crazy, Fun Week

11/6 - Noah and I were making rice krispie treats and Noah was stirring. He asked for a marshmallow, but I said no, they had to go in the recipe and he could have one of the finished products. Well, he decided to snitch and got a natural lesson. I, only a few feet away in the... (More)

Pocket Notes

11/1 - Jonathan, "My favorite color is green." Noah, "My favorite color is green, too!" Jonathan, "Faith, what's your favorite color? Is it green?" Faith, "No, flower." 11/1 - Jonathan lost his left front upper tooth! He bit into a grape (boy, that tooth must... (More)

A Good School Day

Three-fifths of our family has been sick this week and we are all finally feeling better today. (Thank you to all who prayed for us.) We only did about half our chores on this day of recovery, but I decided to go ahead and have school. I'm glad I did! Grandma had sent Noah... (More)

Pocket Notes and Potty Training

10/3 - Jon felt the baby kick! Since then, Jonathan and Faith have thought maybe they felt it. If the kids were ever up when I was still in bed but awake in the morning, they would definitely be able to feel it. 10/3 - Noah counted to 20 on his own. He is most comfortable... (More)

19 weeks, Midwife Appointment

This morning, we drove up to the birth clinic where Jonathan and Noah were born. Their midwife has retired (she wanted to before Noah was born, but actually did right before Faith was born) and her daughter has taken over the job. We had met C before, when she was helping out her... (More)

Short Pocket Notes

This is short but my pocket notes are full and I need a new paper. 9/25 - Noah, wearing his Swiss tshirt and red shorts, "This is my hockey outfit. My hockey team is called Swiss Fire!" In lieu of nursing for any length of time (which is very irritating when pregnant and seems to get... (More)

Naga Jolokia Pepper

I came across a hot pepper that I hadn't heard of before, and since it had a warning on it being really hot, I figured I had to buy it. Now that I've learned it is the hottest known pepper in the world, I have to wonder -- what am I ever going to do with it? The cashier mentioned that... (More)

Bedtime Cleanup

Inspired by an article in Family Fun magazine, I developed a fun motivator for bedtime cleanup that really works. Before, there would be lots of complaining, dilly-dallying and nagging. Now the house is clean every night before bed and the job is done quickly! Here's how it... (More)

Pocket Notes

I'm definitely feeling the baby now! Movements are most noticeable when I am lying down. 9/14 - Jon had mentioned that the next time Jonathan got sneakers, they should have laces. Jonathan had never learned to tie his shoes because he never had tie shoes. At almost seven... (More)

Pocket Notes

This post is long overdue (I have two separate pocket papers kicking around) but as you may have noticed, we've been pretty busy around here. We are leaving soon for another vacation and so I really want to get these papers out of my pocket! When Noah had his 4 year appointment... (More)

Visiting Washington, DC

We arrived at the Fitzkees' house on Thursday night, and Nick said we could stay as long as we wanted. We ended up extending our trip by a day and coming home on Tuesday, which was a good decision. I think we spent the right amount of time for the whole family to enjoy the... (More)
