A snapshot of our day:  Garrett (aka Darth Vadar) and his friend Xander (Anakin) in a Jedi battle of the ages.   Of course, Anakin could never really battle Darth Vadar since they are the same person, but that did not stop these two. 🙂 As the boys invoked the strength of The Force (a binding, metaphysical and … Read more

Adjusting to life with 5 children continues to be a daily juggling act.  Some days are easier than others, usually based on Augustine’s level of colic. There are some areas I seem to be handling well, while others have completely slipped away from me.    Laundry, being one of them.   I didn’t think we … Read more

 December is officially off and running!  That means our buddy Christopher Pop-In-Kins is in the house and on the lookout: Christopher is an elf who was given a special job by Santa to “spy” on the boys every day until Christmas.  Every night he sneaks into a different spot and hides.  It’s a cute idea … Read more

Happy Advent!   I have found several neat tidbits I was hoping to share, but computer time has been pretty hard to come by lately.   Things have been challenging as I struggle to calm my little guy who has been colicky.   Despite gas drops, rocking,  and swaddling,  this is our “fussy Gussy” much … Read more

Here are a few photos from our Thanksgiving celebration. Can you spot the fibber?   Lol. Our usual “porcupine” pretzel dip appetizer was turned into a turkey (per Garrett’s suggestion).  The pimentos from the olives made a pretty fine gobbler!
