Hi Mom! (August 1, 2010)
While in post partum recovery in the hospital, the boys came up to visit. The question is (and we all know the answer), visit whom? A picture tells a thousand words!

Sound Bites from “The Cousins” (March 30, 2010)
Five boys…four of them brothers, one of them visiting, creating what I am deeming the Annual Conference of the Cousins. Yes, they meet at other times during the year, but with more adults, more food, and more festivities for whatever holiday is being celebrated. There is no way for one (expectant) mom to keep up…

Sound Bites from My Head (March 30, 2010)
Today we went to a clay class directed by Maureen Carlson. She is a great artist, and a gifted teacher. They all loved it! That was followed by a visit to the park. It was in the 70s, but so windy that it was unbearable. Even the kite said, “Heck no!” Here are the musings…

You Provide the Sound Bite (March 31, 2010)
I have transferred the pics from today to the PC, but have yet to convert them for web display. Need sleep to do that efficiently. However, you could still benefit from a fun little ditty about our field trip to the science museum today. And rather than me providing the sound bite, you can comment…

Gearing Up for Adventure (March 24, 2010)
Our nephew is coming. In three days, we will add a male, age 5 to our current inventory of males, ages 3, 6, 8, and 10. Not sure if in utero child is male or female, so we’ll just count him/her as an individual to slow mom down. As we add this child for one…

Basketball Tourney Camera Card (March 13, 2010)
We’re at a basketball tournament. Well, the tourney is over (thank goodness…it wasn’t pretty…’nuff said). I was going to share pictures of our fun mini-vacation, including pictures taken at the Spam Museum yesterday. Unfortunately, the camera card (yes, this blue one, right here…see it?) will not be recognized by my PC. Just doesn’t like it…

Really? Spam? An entire museum? (March 13, 2010)
Why yes! An entire museum. And one that I will visit again and learn more and enjoy even more. SPAM, and Hormel, has an amazing history that will change my purchasing choices and encouraged me to make a stronger effort to learn more of the history of US-based products. We visited the museum as a…

The Ultrasound (March 1, 2010)
19 weeks – first day. Ultrasound showed measurements of week 19, day 3. Highlights duri ng ultrasound: 1. As the technician applied the gel to my not-as-big-as-I-remember-it-at-this-stage-before belly, Henry exclaims, “Whatintheworld? You gonna fry an egg?” I must admit, it did feel like an excessive amount of gel. 2. Wow, what a spine! All of…

MIA (February 10, 2010)
Missing In Action, right? Isn’t that what MIA means? Well, that’s what I’ve been on this blog, partly because my computer had serious issues and partly because of my other MIA. New acronym: MIA = Maternity In Action That’s right, we’re brewing a new batch of chromosomes to see if another combo will create just…

09-10 Blogging Season is Open (October 21, 2009)
Life is just too intense in the summer to blog. I’m not sure life with four boys gets any less intense in the school year, so we’ll see how well I keep up with things this year. I’ve tried to recategorize things and am going to keep posts shorter (for the most part). Through the…

Courage in the American Revolution (July 26, 2009)
Our current Konos co-op has us studying the character trait of courage. We are learning what can happen when you do what is right ever if it is dangerous and even if we are afraid. The colonists did just that, and we are experiencing many freedoms because of their courage and sacrifice. We learned quite…

Can’t Blog Life (April 16, 2009)
As much as we can document of our lives, we can’t blog life. Reading someone else’s blog doesn’t make you want to blog. It makes you want to go out and create the experience for yourself. It makes you want to live. I haven’t blogged in forever, but I’ve been living. I’ve been laughing and…
