Down goes the baby..

Yesterday I woke up, feeling  like it was the butt-crack of dawn, to hear Drew  talking loudly in his crib.  The other kids come running down the hall at the speed  of light to see if they can bust into his room, get in his face, and welcome him up for the morning.   I say [...]

Jack’s Sleepover Bday Party

Update on Jack’s sleepover. He had it.  There were a total of 7  boys including Jack that ended up sleeping over.  Also my brew of 4 more.  We were in charge of  11 kids.   Daniel was able to get the fire pit ready before all the kids arrived which was a huge relief for me [...]

Stuck again!

At least 5 times a week, Drew’s leg get stuck in between the bars on his crib.  Of course it hurts him and he screams until I get into his room to get it out. If he’s able to get it above the knee, which is pretty much every single time, then it’s a little [...]

GREAT day with a GREAT friend!!

Last week I met my friend Tanya  (Morales- Rivera Castiglione) at Kensington Metro Park. Tanya and I go way back.  We met eachother in the fall of 1988 when I moved to Germany. I can’t believe its been 21 years!!! Any way, Tanya had just moved there that same summer and we became quick best [...]

We are different…

The following conversation is typical for Senta and I… See…It isn’t just me…

Happy Birthday Jack!

Today (July 15th) was Jack birthday.  Late last week, I thought it would be a good idea if we asked Jack if he wanted to have a birthday party. He excitedly said YES and so the planning began.  We decided to have a sleepover. The next day we went to the $ store to get [...]

Oh thank Heaven for 7-Eleven

Did you know that Slurpees were first served 41 years ago in 1967? I didn’t! This was the same year as my chocolate covered peanut was born.  It wasn’t until two years later, 1969 (the year JD was born) that 7-Eleven named it a Slurpee. For the past six years, 7-Eleven has celebrated its anniversary [...]

Drew loves to swing

The weather here has been perfect!!   I mean perfect- sun shiny with a few puffy white clouds (the pretty kind), and temps in the mid 70′s!  We have been outside as much as possible. One of Drew favorite things (if not his favorite) is to swing.  I think if we let him, he would swing [...]

Who wants to be perfect anyway?

Today I could say—   it’s cold outside, the sun is not shining, and my lawn is way too long. But instead I will say–   The break in the heat is nice, I can take Drew outside without he getting blinded by the sun, and the grass is long enough for it to feel good on [...]
