Drewby was talking in his sleep just now. Just a-sleeping on the couch. He said, “Is there anything on me that starts with the letter T?” I said, “Nope. No wait, you have toes … and they start with the letter T.” He must be somewhat coherent because he said “Oh good” and fell back […]

Daddy: Duke is so loving and gentle with all of us. He would never hurt any of us on purpose. Katey is just the right height though and sometimes he knocks her down or hits her when he wags his tail. Jacob: Duke follows me where ever we go. One time I went to a […]

8 February 2010 Jacob: Daddy and I both love electronics. Taking apart things and making something out of them. Autumn: I like when Daddy reads me stories. Like when he tucks me in bed – so snuggly warm. Andrew: Me too! Joshua: Daddy is a very great cook. He makes german pancakes and french toast […]

Thanksgiving afternoon I caught Andrew and Calvin finishing up the yummy Grandma Alder-inspired berry jello with whipped cream. Yum! I understand the desire. The best part was when Calvin looked up, saw me and said, “We were pretending it was vegetable soup.” Oh, okay then. Carry on. p.s. Sam made the yummy jello. He also […]

I know most of the past entries have been things Andrew has done/said lately, but he is just on a roll and I don’t want to forget these. So funny, he is. 3 November 2009 When something (even semi-) crazy happens, Andrew slaps his forehead and says “Oh, Brother!” with a big old eye roll. […]

Andrew was trying on costumes and changing his mind multiple times – not allowed on Halloween Eve. Especially since I stayed up late the night before making his pirate hat, sash, bandana and eyepatch. But, nonetheless, that was his activity and entertainment for his aunty Liz. He popped on his trusty pumpkin costume (two […]

Yesterday Autumn stared out the window at the lovely snow. Okay, stared might not be the right description. She glanced, let out a whoop and was ready to go out now. I kept her inside for a whole list of reasons: I had yet to unpack the boots, coats, gloves and hats. Some of us […]

While cutting his hair this last Saturday, Andrew wiggled on the barber chair. The noise was well, familiar, so I couldn’t resist asking, “Was that your bum?” He immediately tried to convince me that it was his elbow tooting. Silly guy. When I finished his hair cut I proceeded to vacuum up the hairy […]

Naptime ….. again. Andrew asked if he could please sleep on the floor. Switch it up – why not. I said yes. He asked me to make a doggy house (he’s been a puppy for weeks now). A simple sheet hanging from his brothers’ bunk bed over to his now empty bed. Done. He […]

Early this morning my hunny went off to work and I snuck out to the garden to get some fresh-air and dirt. I heard one neighbor across the street getting all his camping gear together. I saw another neighbor run by all-ambitious-like (not quite how I run, when I do 😉 ). I got to […]
