Sail Away

July 2, 2014 by Amanda 2 Comments

We leave tomorrow for a family vacation to Keats Island. I have never been there before, nor have we taken an actual family holiday since we had kids. Travel FAIL. Call me crazy, but the idea of packing up diapers, playpens, bottles, strollers, pureed bananas and paying, like, $7,000 for our three … [Read more...]

No. Not Ready.

August 29, 2013 by Christine 2 Comments

Walking through the mall yesterday, I bumped into a friend that I hadn't seen in awhile. She asked if I was ready for school to start. I replied "Y'know I could really do with another week or two at home with them." "Did you just say that?" she asked with wide eyes. "I did..." I meant it, … [Read more...]

Summer, You Ain’t So Bad

Strep Tease

August 1, 2012 by Amanda

Avelyn just spent the past five days in a sweaty blur of a 103 degree fever, strep throat, barfing, and more midnight acetaminaphen suppositories than either of us cares to remember. The poor kid. Every day I would assure her that surely she would feel better by tomorrow. But then the next day would … [Read more...]

Summers of yore

July 6, 2011 by Christine

Lately Eva has been wanting to go across the street where there are a bunch of older girls that dote on her.  Yesterday I realized that she has been over there for the past several days and aside from the odd game of soccer or monkey in the middle - they sit under a tree.  I'm not sure … [Read more...]
