April 4, it snowed six inches. The next day, I wrote this: Today the snow is still there and the sun is out and the sky is bright blue. It feels like a gorgeous February day! But since it is April, Nathaniel is just that much more developed that he can enjoy this snow day to... (More)

July and August 2015 Pocket Notes

7/6 - Noah is building a paperboard New England village. 7/6 - Jeremiah opened the cupboard under the kitchen sink with the TotLok. He was so proud of himself. "There we go. Open!" (sounds like "deh-do. Opih!") He closed it and opened it several times, each time repeating... (More)

Nathaniel Is Born!

Once again, we were blessed to have Grandma and Dad-o with us for a birth. Jeremiah was still too clingy on Mommy for us to be comfortable having him at the birth. He did well completely away from me, but had trouble when nearby and I was unavailable. That is exactly the situation a... (More)

Daley Vacation Washington DC

Got a bunch of spam comments and then when I was looking at posts, the boys pointed out that my last post was a month ago and I said "trip to DC goes in a separate post"... So here we go. When we went into downtown to see the sights, we split up into smaller groups. Jonathan,... (More)

This is what makes it all worth while

So last week I was worn out with the extra work that unexpected messes bring. Today I'm tired but happy about it. Yesterday, Jon left very early to go on the church men's retreat. Our morning at home started out pretty badly (bickering/fighting) and the boys had to go run around... (More)

Notes Catchup Part II, the Whirlwind

Last catchup ended on the weekend of the fire company banquet. That weekend was also the beginning of the new adventure. Two different people called up to ask about looking to buy our house. No, not the one we're fixing up to sell. The one we're living in. Well, ok,... (More)
