Year End Family Update

By Kevin | Published December 19, 2010

It’s that time of year (the end that is) when people review the last twelve months and recall what has transpired (if our memory cooperates) – the good, the bad, and the ugly. We invite you to reminisce with us. January & February 2010 January is a boring month. You have to admit you agree. [...]

Choices for Squirrels…

By Kevin | Published October 12, 2010

After dinner tonight Ethan decided to draw a picture for our puppet the squirrel. (Yes, “for” is the intended preposition). He and Lucas were having a wonderful conversation with the squirrel when it was decided that since this squirrel had never had anyone make him a drawing before, making one for him was the only [...]

A Riddle…

By Erin | Published June 24, 2010

What’s small but can be heard for miles? What’s described as “bouncing,” but not made of rubber? What brings difficulty that produces enjoyment? What turns some women into insects, and yet makes others great? What is simple, but not understood? What starts smooth but ends rough? If you can guess this riddle, then you will [...]

- Samuel has a new room!! Well, it’s a shared room, but at least he has a corner now!

- 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. ;)
