What a fun New Year. Everyone had a cold from November until the beginning of February. Between Sarah and Samantha there have been four ear infections. Samantha woke up Wednesday night with the stomach flu (and the mess on her and the bed to prov...

I wish I could fly a kite

nobody@vox.com(Deanna) — Sat, 30 Jun 2007 22:44:06 -0230

Weeks ago I showed Alex how to blow on a dandilion and make a wish. So today, while waiting in the yard with me for Joe, he picked one... blew on it and as the seeds flew around said "I wish I could fly a kite".... it was adorable. After everyo...

Salmonier Nature Park

nobody@vox.com(Deanna) — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 22:56:24 -0230

I thought Alex would really enjoy a trip to Salmonier Nature Park so we piled ourselves into the van and drove there for the day. He wasn't nearly as interested as we thought he'd be and in fact spent most of the walk in the stroller! Sarah and S...

Poopy Coming!

Every night our bed routine is the same. We all go upstairs, put the girls in the same crib, wait for Alex to get his "microphone" (stand up toilet paper holder), and after Alex announces "Ladies and Gentlemen, here's mommy singing the Dinosaur s...

Reviving Tradition

nobody@vox.com(Deanna) — Tue, 26 Dec 2006 23:43:35 -0330

The Cookies and Milk are Gone!?!

nobody@vox.com(Deanna) — Mon, 25 Dec 2006 07:00:00 -0330

Poor Alex didn't quite grasp the tradition of "daddy" going downstairs first and him having to wait until Daddy was ready for the kids to come down (aka turn on the tree and get the video camera). The poor child almost started Christmas morning c...

Let Them Eat Cake

nobody@vox.com(Deanna) — Mon, 23 Oct 2006 23:18:21 -0230

Until recently, Alex has been at a home daycare (Lisa) and she is/was just amazing. I wanted to take advantage of my time off and we'll need someone to come into the home when I return to work so I decided to keep him home. This was the first wee...
