Our Family Adventures: April 2009
http://nfamilyadventures.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
A completely biased view. Tuesday, April 28, 2009. Katy vs. the Cricket. But here is the problem with those lovely trees. In a word - critters. Now I understand why they use that term in the south. It is an all-encompassing word that describes all of the nasty little insects, spiders, unnameables, and rodents that you don't want in your house. Those nasty little things live in and love trees, and I'm afraid some of them view my house as an extension. Links to this post. Monday, April 27, 2009. Its amazin...

Our Family Adventures: May 2009
http://nfamilyadventures.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
A completely biased view. Tuesday, May 12, 2009. Just Check Under the Tail. Anna: Mom, is it a boy chipmunk or a girl chipmunk? Me (never considering that this would be important): I don't know. Anna: Didn't you look? Anna: You know you just have to look at its bottom to tell if its a boy or a girl. Me (thinking): Thank you Kindergarten sex-ed classes. Now I have to identify the gender of small rodents. Me (out loud): I don't want to look at the bottom of the chipmunk. So, we've named the chipmunk Pat.

Our Family Adventures: I love my kids
http://nfamilyadventures.blogspot.com/2010/03/i-love-my-kids.html
A completely biased view. Friday, March 12, 2010. I love my kids. I was having a really crummy day yesterday. There was no obvious reason for the day to be bad; it just all seemed to spin out of my control until it was 6:00 and I had ruined dinner, the house was a disaster, a basket of unfolded laundry sat ominously on the couch, and Jane was crying and hanging onto my pants leg. I walked into the living room to find them quietly folding the dishtowels and tablecloths in the laundry basket. I know! Class...

Our Family Adventures: July 2009
http://nfamilyadventures.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
A completely biased view. Wednesday, July 15, 2009. Who is this crazy woman the other small ones call Mom? So, we have a new baby, and life has gone from busy to wild. I forgot how hard it is to get anything done with an infant, and that includes blogging. This paragraph has taken me 30 minutes to write, for example). I am sure there will be more mistakes than correct parts, since I am holding her while I write. Does that red button look like an evil viking helmet, or is it just me? They induced me at 2:...

Our Family Adventures: Jane and her Dad
http://nfamilyadventures.blogspot.com/2010/04/jane-and-her-dad.html
A completely biased view. Friday, April 16, 2010. Jane and her Dad. I went through nine months of pregnancy and delivered her. I'm the one who gets up every night with her . . . still. I take care of her all day everyday. And what do I expect in return? I'm pretty sure she'll want to answer, "Mom." (I'm also pretty sure Sean hopes that is her answer). What a beautiful little girl! April 17, 2010 at 7:45 AM. April 23, 2010 at 10:42 AM. Jane is so cute, and looks so much like her sisters! Other Blogs I love.

Our Family Adventures: June 2009
http://nfamilyadventures.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
A completely biased view. Tuesday, June 2, 2009. Bursting at the Seams. I have a doctor's appointment this morning, and so during breakfast, we took bets on how far dialated I was. As disgusting as this sounds, neither of the kids appreciates what this means, and the reward for guessing correctly was ice cream. Nobody in my house can turn down that incentive. Today, as I leapt into the van, I heard the unfamiliar sound "rrrrriiiiiipppppp," as the seam of my pants literally disintegrated into obli. Me - "...

Our Family Adventures: November 2009
http://nfamilyadventures.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
A completely biased view. Friday, November 20, 2009. In a House Full of Women. Hard to be a superhero. The constant pressure to save lives, to be manly and tough. The Flash has given up. He has lived in the Polly Pocket tub for too long. At first it was just the occasional high heel. But Elizabeth couldn't stand it any longer. She had to help him with his outfit. I guess red was just not his color. Links to this post. Thursday, November 19, 2009. Links to this post. Monday, November 9, 2009.

Our Family Adventures: Going, going, lost
http://nfamilyadventures.blogspot.com/2010/03/going-going-lost.html
A completely biased view. Tuesday, March 30, 2010. Going, going, lost. After almost ten years with virtually the same hair-do (long), I finally got my hair cut. I usually don't post pictures of myself, but here is the before (I show a back-shot so everyone can appreciate the length):. And the after (ta-da):. There are many benefits to having short hair, but also some detriments that I didn't consider before cutting it:. No really long hairs on the floor, clogging the vacuum, and in my hairbrush (eww).

Our Family Adventures: September 2009
http://nfamilyadventures.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
A completely biased view. Monday, September 28, 2009. Have you ever secretly wanted to punish your husband for misdeeds he has committed? Not that I ever have, but if I wanted to, I have inadvertently stumbled across a new method for doing just that. The sweet-yet-somewhat-oblivious choir director kept working on the "bass" part. "Okay basses," she'd say, "That didn't sound quite right. Let's hear that again. I need to hear it louder this time.". I don't think we are going to ward choir again. Would you ...
