A Visit From Our Colorado Family – Part 2

By Erin | Published June 25, 2008

After visiting Sauder Village, we spent the next couple days playing outside in the pool and sprinkler, going out to get ice cream, taking the kids to Monkey Jump, having an “adult” dinner with steak on the grill, going to watch the Toledo Mud Hens downtown (which included fireworks) and then on Saturday we went [...]

A Visit From Our Colorado Family

By Erin | Published June 25, 2008

A few weeks ago my brother and his family drove to Ohio for their semi-annual visit. As usual our days were packed with fun-filled activities for the kiddos that left us all begging for more sleep. Despite the exhaustive days running after 4 toddlers, we all had a blast together and enjoyed our visit tremendously! [...]

- I’m not sure our youngest, Samuel, is going to make it to his first birthday. I think our daughter is trying to get rid of him. I think she loves him, she talks to him and about him often. But she has also done things to make us think otherwise. When he is in his swing she likes to push it beyond what it was meant to go. She likes to poke his eyes. She threw his favorite pacifier into the garbage disposal (unknown to Erin until she ran it). She has picked him up and dropped him repeatedly (and tried to pick him up many other times). She has taken his blanket, covered his face with it and laid on him. She has put a marble, a pretzel, a piece of pizza, and other things into his mouth. I’m just not sure if Samuel is going to make it because his older sister is out to get him.

- This is Ethan’s way of saying this room is off limits for Alayna. Now every door in our house, even Alayna’s own room, has this sign. Even the outside doors. It’s Alayna’s catch 22 - can’t go in, can’t go out.

- We went to the Midwest Homeschool Convention in Cincinnati a couple weeks ago. It was crowded!! Besides the fact that they scheduled the conference to begin at the exact same time as opening day for the Cincinnati Reds (~10,000 convention goers + ~40,000 baseball fans = no available parking + lots of frustration!) it was a nice trip. Samuel enjoyed the big bed, Erin and I took the floor. ;)
