Kent and I have slightly different versions of how we met. I contend it was a blind date (which I was tricked into by my roommate), but technically we had met briefly once before. I just didn’t make the connection until he arrived for the first date. Kent had an art class with my roommate […]

Buttering me up
Posted in Family on Aug 25th, 2005
We listen to Radio Disney in our car, a lot, by popular request. Except lately the requests sound a little too much like demands. I don’t like the attitude of entitlement, so I’ve stopped honoring the appeals to switch to Radio Disney unless they are put to me nicely. This morning as we load into […]
My babies are growing up
Posted in Family, Funny Stuff on Aug 9th, 2005
We are officially starting potty training now that Noah has moved to the “older” 2’s class at daycare, where they are more disciplined about such things. Is this the beginning of the end of diapers? Well, not quite yet. Not until Noah begins to view the potty as something other than one step closer to […]
The madhouse that is McDonald’s
Posted in Family, Silence Please on Aug 2nd, 2005
Since I was out of town most of last week and haven’t been to the grocery store yet since I’ve been back, dinner grub in my house is in short supply. Kent had a meeting tonight, so I took the lazy way out. I took the kids to McDonald’s for dinner. And then I remembered […]
Reasoning with a two-year-old
Posted in Family on Jul 17th, 2005
For a two-year-old, Noah is remarkably easy to reason with. Whenever he wants something but can’t get his way, all we have to do is explain the plan and we almost always get a sunny “okay!” This morning he wanted to play on the piano when we were trying to get him dressed for church. […]
Happy Anniversary
Posted in Family on Jul 16th, 2005
It’s 11 great years of marriage today! In honor of the occasion, here are some of the things I love about my husband, in no particular order. He still holds my hand. He still tells me I am cute/pretty/beautiful. He writes me poetry. He makes me smile. He supports everything I do. He remembers all […]
My little swimmer
Posted in Family on Jul 5th, 2005
Okay, so he’s not a swimmer yet, but Noah started his swimming lessons tonight. But this is more accurately survival skills than swimming lessons. You’ve probably heard of it—it’s the type of program where they basically let the baby or toddler swallow a lot of water while they teach them how to get to the […]
The school bus game and eagle eyes
Posted in Family, Funny Stuff on Jul 1st, 2005
Do you play the school bus game in your family? We do. The objective is to be the first one to see a school bus. You get a point for each one you call out first. Yelling “SCHOOL BUS!!!!” at the top of your lungs usually does the trick. Maia is an expert at this. […]
This is the Writer’s Digest writing prompt from last week. I couldn’t make time to get around to it until now. Writing Prompt for 6/14/05: Write about the most interesting person you’ve talked with today. My Response: Since I took the week off for some much needed family time, I would have to say that […]
Me, tough?
Posted in Family, Funny Stuff on Jun 14th, 2005
If you know me well, take a minute to have your hearty laugh at the thought of me being ferociously tough. Go ahead, I’ll wait. Unless, of course, you happen to be my husband, who knows very well that I can be quite stubborn when I put my mind to it, often and without warning. […]
