MADNESS!
I think the beauty and the nightmare of have kids, ages 2 and 4, is that they can drive you into a state of sheer insanity in a matter of minutes and then, right as you are about to snap, as you head to the car to drive to the airport to go "anywhere but here", they suddenly turn into the sweetest…
Skyler’s First Day of Montessori
She loves her new school. She and Liam walked in holding hands and walked out holding hands. I think Liam finds more comfort in having her their than the other way around, but regardless, they are very comfortable and happy having each other close. Apparently, there has been a small issue of…
Fall asleep my love…
I think watching my children fall asleep is the most beautiful thing I've ever witnessed. Their little eyes flutter as they try desperately to stay awake. Then slowly...one blink at a time...their eyes shut. And then peace...at last. So quiet...so beautiful...so perfect. And all my frustrations…
Scary monsters
On our way to the gym this afternoon, Skyler told Leif and I that "if a monster comes, she will shoot it with her big gun." Are you kidding me? She needs a sister or some serious play dates with some girls!!! She also pretended to shoot me with a laser from her hands the other day when I told…
Asserting his independence while cracking me up
I have to give it to Liam for the stunt he pulled today. He is definitely asserting his independence these days and Leif and I are constantly having to reming ourselves that if he doesn't go through this, he will never leave home when he is 18! But today's move should have been on a sitcom. We…
Boys only – Girls only
On Saturday, Leif planned on working on the yard and Liam was thrilled to have "boys only" time with his daddy. He frantically looked around for his tools and lawn mower and when Leif came down in his jeans and no shirt, Liam quickly followed suit. Skyler and I, on the other hand, decided that we…
Lake Chelan
My boss, Jennifer, graciously allowed us to use her gorgeous lake house for the week in Lake Chelan. The kids were wide eyed (as were we), walking into the house. They ran around to the rooms and chose which ones were theirs. It immediately became referred to as "our lake house"! Both kids had…
He’s all grown up!
Grandpa Ted called this morning saying he was stopping through and wanted to know if he could take Liam out to Herron Island for the rest of the week (4 days away from home). I asked Liam if he wanted to go making it clear that it would be 4 days and mommy and daddy were not going and he said "yes…
I am participating in Idaho Rivers United’s River Run and was wondering if you would support me.
Idaho Rivers United works to protect and restore Idaho’s rivers and native fisheries, a cause very important to me. Idaho’s rivers need ongoing dedicated protections to keep our waters running clean, clear, and full of fish.
To participate in the River Run, I rafted down the Middle Fork River and had a great time. I saw lots of different kinds of fish and even a black bear. They were all in their natural habitat and I want to keep it that way so all wildlife can be happy forever.
Please consider supporting me in my efforts for this worthy cause!
