Last night, I had finally drifted off to sleep when I woke up to hear Sam hollering.  We still play musical beds a lot of the time.  I had both the girls in bed with me and Marc was in Sam’s bed with him.  (On a side note, I had put Jessie to bed with …

That’s my baby girl.  We had her six month checkup today, and she’s brilliantly healthy.  She’s in the ninetieth percentile for height and head circumference, and seventy fifth for weight.  We’re still having issues with solids – she loves baby food purees but can’t hold them down.  Strangely enough, she’s great at table food, rice, …

Really – I LOVE this house. I love every little bit of it, I love that Jessie goes to bed every night with no hassles, just picks a book off her bookcase and reads herself to sleep. I love that Sammy sleeps all night in his own bed, just like a big boy. He chooses …

That’s really why I blog.  I do it because about twenty years ago, my mother found a journal that her mom had wrote in about her kids and was so incredibly moved by it.  Knowing how her mother felt about she and her siblings when they were kids was amazing for her, and I remember …

We’re almost, completely and totally moved into the new house.  It’s wonderful – I love it.  It’s about fifteen hundred square feet, with a big backyard, a working fireplace, three bedrooms, ginormous dining room.  I’m about half way done unpacking and really, really liking it.  Sam, after having shared a bedroom (and a bed) with …

I would post pictures, but unfortunately, my camera took a tumble when we were apple picking in September and I just got around to replacing it.  I’ve figured out how to snap pics but haven’t figured out how to download yet.  But I have some cute pictures, and will post them soon :-). Last year, …

I try, I really do.  And mostly, I’m pretty good at it.  I think I’m patient with my kids, for the most part.  I think I’m endlessly patient with lots of other situations.  And I adore my husband more than anything in the whole wide world – but I’m so ready to move in.  I …

So excited about moving.  I love moving.  I really do.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m kind of lazy, so I don’t enjoy all the work that goes along with it, but I like being in a new place, new neighborhood, etc.  I found a great table on the internet, someone in Webster (which isn’t too …

I love having five kids.  Or three.  Depending on the day.  Today, I happened to have five.  We picked up all three girls from school and brought them back home for an hour and a half before they had to get dropped off for Hebrew School.  And they’re all so cute together!  Sammy put on …
