Monday, September 1st, 2008“Let’s make a list today Mom.” ~ Mimi
Uh oh. Somewhere along the way I have transfered my deep love of lists onto my daughter. She loves to make lists with me.
I hope she makes it
Monday, September 1st, 2008This school year is going to be hard on little Mimi. Last week her sister, Annie, had a sniffle for a day. I assume this germ came from preschool as many kids get sick upon entering school or daycares for the first time. However, Annie got better after one day of sounding [...]
Change is weird
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008Today the kids had Open House at preschool. They LOVED it and were so excited. They met both their teachers and played around in their class today, exploring every nook. Grammy went along with the girls so she could see what a wonderful place they were going and where to take them [...]
BBQ all the way
Sunday, August 10th, 2008Madeline has developed a seriuos love for BBQ sauce, specifically the Bullseye brand. It all started about a week ago when I made chicken sandwiches for dinner. I put some on my sandwich and she wanted to try it. From then on she was hooked. She eats it on everything!!!
Last [...]
Let the games begin
Friday, August 8th, 2008Today the kids and were watching some tv and a commercial came on for the Olympic games. I explained to them that people from all over the world come to participate and they find out who is the best at something in the entire world.
Kimberly was completely awe struck by that idea. [...]
Naturally they are all down
Friday, August 1st, 2008Kimberly developed the fever yesterday and has been feeling crappy ever since. So that makes all three Brown Girls ill.
Actually, it is not as bad as it may seem, at least all of them are sick at the same time. For me it is much harder when one is [...]
Swim lessons complete
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008After 8 weeks of getting the kids up and out of the house by 9:15 Monday thru Thursday today was our last day. The kids really flourished in their swimming. I think it had something to do with the fact that the classes were everyday and the fact that each day we were [...]
Going down fast
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008Today all three children needed their Hep A shot and their Varicella (chicken pox) shot. They needed the Hep A shot since baby brother will be coming home from Africa, and the fact that they would need it sometime anyhow. Kimberly and Annie needed the varicella because they are starting preschool and it is [...]
Because you have to hear it for yourself
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008Here is Madeline on the swing singing her version of I L-O-V-E Y-O-U. Please forgive the sqeaky swing in the backgroud, we have to capture these moments no matter where they happen.
Her Version
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008“I L-O-V-E O-Y-U” ~ Mimi
There is a song I have sung the kids since they were tiny. The lyrics are:
I L-O-V-E Y-O-U,
You’re all of my dreams come true.
From your cute little nose,
to the tips of your toes.
I L-O-V-E Y-O-U
Mimi always mixes up the o and y in YOU. I think it is so [...]
Exercise pays
Sunday, July 20th, 2008“Mom look, I am growing. Wii Fit says so.” ~ Mimi
Today while Mimi and I were out running errands she told me this because she could reach the roof of the Mini Cooper.
Earlier in the day Bill had let the kids weigh themselves on wii fit and all had grown. [...]
Swim class advance
Thursday, June 26th, 2008Today was the last day of swim class for the kids in their current levels. Next week they all move up a level. They are a little excited and a little worried. I think it will be good for them.
For a celebration the teachers allowed them to go down the [...]
Mimi pumps!!!
Sunday, June 22nd, 2008Today while Grammy and Papa were over visiting Mimi pumped herself on the swing! Everyone was so proud of her. You can see Cousin Wyatt pumping along with her. She is very happy to be like the big kids.
Sorry the video is tilted to the side. I never remember [...]
You must be cold hearted . . .
Friday, June 13th, 2008If you don’t think this kid is super adorable!!!
I didn’t get a picture of Annie and Kimberly dolled up before their recital practice but I will make sure to do that tomorrow.
35 minutes
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008It is amazing how nicely 35 minutes can pass when your children all go to their respective swimming classes and everyone does a great job.
Today was much better. Kimmie and Annie’s class has changed teachers. Their teacher was at NAU going through orientation and so she missed the first couple of [...]
A Long Day
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008Today has been a very long day. We had swimming lessons bright and early this morning. Everyone did better today. Mimi was in the pool the entire time and not crying. Annie was in for her entire lesson and Kimmie was only out of the pool crying for half [...]
Swim classes
Monday, June 2nd, 2008First day of swim classes was met with much anticipation. Kimberly and Madeline were in their suits by 8 am and ready to go even though it was not time. Annie had herself worked up and was nervous. (She always gets like that with stuff she hasn’t experienced before.)
Finally it [...]

Work and Home Connections
Saturday, May 10th, 2008“Are you going to work?” — Madeline
Asked this morning when she saw me in my brown shorts and yellow “I bent my wookie” t-shirt. It’s so nice that I work in such a casual environment.
