Thursday, October 30th, 2008Tonight we carved our pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns. The kids were really into it this year. Unfortunately 2 of our 4 pumpkins we bought at Freeman Farms were rotten. I think that is due to the heat this October and the fact that the first weekend fell on the 4th. I think that may have been [...]
Annie’s well visit
Thursday, October 30th, 2008Annie had her 5 year old well check today. She is growing perfectly! She is in the 25th percentile for weight and 30th percentile for height. She weighs in at 37 pounds, 1 pound less than Kimmie. She has great fine and gross motor skills and is doing well. It is amazing how shy Annie [...]
Madeline and her meds
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008Today Madeline will go off her seizure medication. She has been maintained on a very low dose for some time and this is the next natural step. It is not a decision that her doctor or myself made lightly. We are not sure how this will play out but we have to take the leap [...]
Annie’s Birthday
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008Annie had a great day today! In the middle of the night Kimberly and Mimi had climbed into my bed so I went over to sleep in Annie’s bed. It was neat to wake up to her in the morning she is slow to wake up but once she realized it was her birthday she [...]
Annie’s Fabulous Five
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008Today Annie turns five years old. She has brought us so much joy and wonder. Her personality is one of a kind and she is completely in touch with her childhood. She enjoys every moment, not allowing the next to spoil it. She is amazing and we are so glad she is ours. Annie is [...]
Strange competition
Monday, October 27th, 2008“I am going to have to tell Mrs. Thurman (preschool teacher) that I got four shots! Charlie went to the Doctor last week but he only got 3!” ~ Kimberly Today Kimberly had her five year old well check. She is super healthy and weighs in at 38 pounds! She is in the 25% percentile [...]
Paul’s baby shower
Sunday, October 26th, 2008Today we were blessed to have good friends give us a shower for Paul. As always everyone was so generous and thoughtful. We received so many nice things for Paul and had a good time celebrating the fact that *best case scenario* he will be joining our family this December. They played lots of games [...]
Boofest
Saturday, October 25th, 2008Tonight we went down to the community center after the big party. We have been going each year with the kids and they really enjoy seeing the costumes and having a hay ride. We left Pump It Up and went to Taco Bell for some fine dining. After dinner we changed the kids into their [...]
Pump it Up party day!
Saturday, October 25th, 2008Today was the big day. The Girls were ready to go at about 9am. Unfortunately for them, or us as we had to listen to them, the party did not start until 3pm. The kids started trickling in and everyone seemed to have a good time. The Girls had such fun playing with all their [...]
Featured link
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008Today I finally finished my first custom order for my etsy shop. The woman ordered fabric and had it sent to me and I set to work. I think it came out very nice! I was kind of worried about the tiger fabric as it is pretty bright but it all came together so nicely. [...]
We’re registered
Tuesday, October 21st, 2008A couple of weeks ago we registered for items we would enjoying having for Paul. There is a link in the left column just below the Addis Ababa clock. Or you can find it here! We appreciate all the genenrosity that we have always been shown when we bring a new member into our family. [...]
Laying low
Saturday, October 18th, 2008“I don’t make decisions. I read books!” ~ Mimi We have been having to get on Kimberly lately for trying to make all the decisions around our house. Obviously Mimi wants to let us know she has no intention of questioning our authority.
Kimberly’s birthday
Friday, October 17th, 2008Kimmie had a great birthday. I had created a felt crown for her the night before for her to wear on her birthday, of course she wore it from the moment she got it she even slept in it! I think that I will try to make that a tradition, since she really enjoyed it. [...]
Kimmie’s Fabulous Five
Friday, October 17th, 2008Kimberly is such a wonderful daughter. We are so proud and amazed by her everyday. She is so astute and in tune to life. Sometimes we fear she is losing her childhood so quickly. She is such a mature girl and makes us smile. I couldn’t think of a great post that really put into [...]
Do they make those?
Thursday, October 16th, 2008“Mom I need a buns pad!” ~ Annie Today Annie decided she wanted to learn how to skate. She got dressed and got her skates on and all her knee pads, elbow pads and helmet on. Look at her little face hurting with the pain she was feeling in her buns. Poor thing. She certainly [...]
Almost the big day!
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008Kimberly has been counting down to her birthday for months now. Once I told her it was only 30 days away she commandeered our wipe off board in the kitchen and made it into countdown central. Not sure why she hears a K at the beginning of almost instead of an A. The numbers started [...]
Catching something
Monday, October 13th, 2008Unfortunately Bill came down with the stomach flu on Saturday night. Madeline followed his lead and got sick this morning. Thankfully I have running water and am able to clean up all this puke! They have definitely caught something and it is only a matter of time before everyone falls to it. Hoping that some [...]
The younger generation
Saturday, October 11th, 2008It is so interesting how quickly technology changes. I can vividly remember the day my parents got a VCR or the day we finally got a microwave. Those things are second nature to my children, they know no world without them, just as my parents were taught how to use computers by my siblings and [...]
Rolling like a river
Friday, October 10th, 2008The water is back on in the Brown house!!!! We are overjoyed. First thing we did was run the dishwasher, which had dishes in it since last weekend, and turned on the lawn water so that the lawn and other plants got the water they needed. The floor in the office is fixed and the [...]
Countdown to the big day!
