Image via Wikipedia This morning I took two kids to the doctor with me so I could get a physical. It was an adventure! It was the first normal, healthy, no babies, regular doctor (not an OB) physical I’ve had in I don’t know how long. The doctor (someone I’d never seen before) seemed a [...]

When my mother found out Maggie and I were going to be at our “family reunion” in DC, she said she wanted to pay to bring Degen and Colin. So she bought them tickets and we’re all going to Washington, DC, for the graduation. Yay! The catch is that Colin can’t come as early as [...]
Image via Wikipedia It looks like we’re moving to California! We’ve been working on figuring out what to do job-wise when the school year ends for a while now, and last week Colin’s parents asked him to work at their print shop in MIll Valley, CA. They also generously offered to let us live with [...]
I took the kids to see a local pediatrician this morning. It took me a long time to choose one and make an appointment, partly because I kept hoping I’d get someone to recommend a good one to me who takes our insurance. People have recommended a couple of good ones, but they don’t take [...]

It’s been a crazy week. I won’t go into all the details, but suffice it to say that we’ve felt more motivated than ever to look for a new job for Colin. He was up late the last couple of nights filling out applications, and has plans to do the same tonight. Today I filled [...]
Degen loves colors…especially eye colors
Posted in Kids on Apr 22nd, 2008
Degen is really interested in colors and numbers right now. If I say “What’s that, Degen?” he answers with what the color of the object is. Right now he’s especially interested in eye color. Most days he tells me several times the eye color of each person in our family. Yesterday he convinced the missionaries [...]
Maggie: diapers and pens
Posted in Kids on Apr 21st, 2008
Maggie has started taking her diaper off again… I have to put her in outfits that keep her hands from those diaper tabs or I find her running around with nothing on and a little puddle somewhere in the house. It’s cute and a little funny, but messy. And Degen has started to follow his [...]
Ever get distracted? This morning I was planning for this week’s home “preschool” and started looking for some supplies for a 5 Senses activity that requires paper bags. I knew my paper bags were in a box somewhere in our “storage room,” so I went on a hunt for them. I knew they were in [...]
Grand Opening (with a long line)
Posted in Kids on Apr 10th, 2008
This morning the kids and I went to the Grand Opening of a Savers store in our area on our way home from dropping Colin off at work. I’d been to other Savers stores and think they’re great as far as thrift stores go, and I thought I’d check it out–plus there was a sign [...]
