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)

January and February 2015 Pocket Notes

1/25 - Joy, about ready to dance, "Mommy, if you don't see this show, you won't see it again, EVER!" A good reminder to be present in the moment! I turned away from the computer and gave her my attention and I watched her beautiful solo dance show. 1/29 - Reading with Noah... (More)

Blogging and Catching Up

I am the kind of person who enjoys writing. I process my thoughts well by writing, and I like recording my thoughts and my family's life. This year, I will be posting more. At first, most will be catch-up posts. I have a whole year of pocket notes to enter, not to mention... (More)

Sailing

We went sailing today in the Black Rabbit, which is the name of our Flying Junior. I do need to find out the history of it, because I think I don't have it quite correct. But Heather's grandpa have it to her when she was a kid and we've sailed it since we were married. It needed a... (More)

Every Day Is A Good Day

Yesterday was an exhausting day, so I made sure to get us ready for bed early. We were in bed by 9:00. But Jeremiah kicked his covers off just about every hour and asked me to put them back on again. By 3:30 or so, his medicine had worn off and he was wheezing and... (More)

Giant List of Pocket Notes

I'm very much behind on the blog. But I have kept the pocket notes safely typed up in my email. So here goes. In June, the kids and I made a trip to Florida to visit my parents, and my sister and her kids visited, too. 6/14 - Joy, "Mommy! I saw a dinosaur!" (It was a... (More)

Pocket Notes

5/1 - Joy playing with even/odd dot cards. Didn't quite get the concept but sometimes was lucky, so I praised the correct answers. Then 6/2 - much more consistently correct. 5/1 - Jeremiah, watching the kids in karate class, copying them - doing punches from the "en guarde"... (More)

Pocket Notes

3/23 - I told Jeremiah the toaster was hot, and he held up his hand, palm facing, but not touching, and said, "hah". 3/25 - Jeremiah was whining about something, and Noah, to cheer him up, said, "Why cry, my pygmy fly?" It made me laugh anyway! 3/26 - JPD definitely says "hi" now,... (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)

Serving vs. Selfishness

I think I have found a key to living selflessly. When there's an emergency, it's easy to serve. I see the great need, and I know it's temporary. It's hard to keep serving in the ordinary, mundane, because it feels like it will never end and the needs don't always seem so great.... (More)

Pocket Notes

11/8 - It was gusty and the maple seeds were being blown off our big tree by the thousands. It was such an amazing sight! The little helicopters were fluttering everywhere, even swarming like a host of grasshoppers or little birds. The grand picture was the swarming, and then... (More)
