Halloween 2009 was a blast! We started off going to Hunter Farms as a family like we ususally do each year, the weekend before. It had rained that entire week before, and so the pumpkn patch was a SWAMP! But that didn't stop the kids from tromping through the muddy mess and having fun! Hunter farms is fun. You get to ride the tractors to and ( Read more... )

So here is has been nearly a whole month since I've updated in my notes/blog. A lot has gone on. Here we go ( Read more... )

The visit from Jeff's mom and brother was nice. They came on Jule 30th and left on July 7th. Jeff had some nice time with his brother, flying the airplane and working on a new kitchen project and such, and his mom had a great time getting to spend time with her grandchildren...taking lots of pictures, playing games and such. We were sad to see ( Read more... )

My aunt and uncle's visit out here to Seattle to see us turned out great! To be honest, I was a little bit nervous of how it would go, considering how the visits usually go (there were usually some rocky moments/arguments in visits in the past). But there was none of that this time! And I was actually really sad to see them leave. Not saying ( Read more... )

On Tuesday, Danielle rolled over from her tummy onto her back! I kind of wondered if it was a fluke, but she kept on doing it, and has continued to do it. So I KNOW that she really is rolling over And she's scooting more and more already too! She can easily scoot out of her play yard already! And she does it in a sort of crawling motion...I ( Read more... )

Danielle is becoming such a person of her these days! Her little personality is really starting to show through, and it's totally amazing! She's starting to form a predictable schedule that goes something like this ( Read more... )

So, I'm beginning to wonder if/when the kids will ever resent the fact that I'm blind and can't drive. Today, Natalie's preschool class took a trip to the beach and Natalie wasn't able to go. My sitter who usually comes over so that I can take Natalie to school is on vacation this week on an Alaskan cruise, so I have to stay here to make sure ( Read more... )
