It was a GOOD summer… some things that really stand out for me… – the first week with Julianna – she was up just all the time, and I was SO tired. Then she flipped it around, and started sleeping thru the night at two weeks, and it’s been smooth sailing, sleep wise, ever since. …

Oh, I hate it. Just hate it. Both my kids are prone to temper tantrums, Jess more so than Sam, but they are both capable of a full blown freak out fit. And I’ve tried all sorts of ways of dealing with them (and Jess started with them when she was about a year old) …

My grandfather’s funeral is today – and this is the eulogy I wrote for him. I’m so sad today… When I woke up this morning, my first thought was that my grandmother had something to do with making this such a pretty day, the sky was so blue and the sunshine so bright – it …

Or is it just me? I’m constantly questioning just about everything. Case in point – Jessica Mary. She’s seven and a half, going into second grade. Very bright, very thoughtful and growing more and more independent. She went to Maine earlier this summer with my mother and sister for three days without me, and I …

Not that she’s there yet – but she’s getting so big and so beautiful – and has already grown up so fast. I love this age – I know I say that about all ages, but four months is just super fun. She’s smiling all the time, loves nothing more than to be plopped down …

and ridiculously pleased about being able to post – I’ve got so much to write about! But it’s bedtime for my cherubs, Julie is sucking on my arm as I type – so it’ll have to wait until tomorrow…

I don’t know – I just know that all day, Julianna has only slept while she’s in my arms nursing. Normally she takes one serious nap for a couple of hours, sometimes two – and today, she’s only napped sporadically. She dozes off nursing, and then jolts awake when I lay her down. It’s five …

I feel like it’s winding down… now that I can see, just by glancing at the calendar how much time I have left before school starts. I’ve got another week with Harrison, another two and a half weeks with Jordyn. Then my babies, the two children I started watching when they were babies are going …

Jessica is huge, all long legs, big eyes and pretty hair. Suddenly, I’ve got a little tweener on my hands, she’s obsessed with making sure that she showers daily, goes thru three or four different hairstyles and outfits a day and has recently redone her room so that it looks “grown up.” She’s even singing …
