Celebrating This weekend my friends joined me in celebrating the upcoming arrival of Audrey. Amanda hosted the event and was a wonderful friend: pampering me with gifts, delicious Julie-approved food and a sweet blessing. It was great to be able to share this time with new (and old) friends, since most of mine are so [...]

A Love for Learning
Posted in Alyssa, Uncategorized on Oct 3rd, 2008
Alyssa comes home from school each day full of energy. I hear other kids that are pooped, in a daze. Alyssa is the opposite. Ethan thinks that school is so stimulating for her that she is almost on a high while she is there. She enjoys almost every moment. She loves to learn. And loves [...]
Another run at soccer
Posted in Alyssa on Sep 16th, 2008
Let’s recap: At 3, Alyssa sat on the sidelines refusing to play. At 4, she did great the first few games, but disliked soccer practice every week and by the end was playing very little of each game. We started the spring season again, but after 2 horrible practices, we took her out. Here we [...]
Final first day
Posted in Alyssa, Uncategorized on Aug 25th, 2008
The day I have thought about, worried about, and looked forward to all at the same time. I am sure you mothers who have been here know these feelings, but it is such an odd assortment. We all got up and dressed this morning to take Alyssa. She went through the morning like a champ, [...]

In our school, the kindergartners start 2 weeks after the big kids. Alyssa has done a K camp and testing this week and next week has two more half-days of fun before “real” school starts. I have been trying to get her up and dressed like we were going to school so that both of [...]
With baby sister and Kindergarten coming soon, I decided to go ahead and make the switch and put the girls in the same room. In the last 2 weeks, they had shared a room at Nana’s, Blair’s and the hotel. It seemed logical to just keep them in the same room when we got home [...]
Chuck E Cheese
Posted in Alyssa on Jun 10th, 2008
I regret to say that when your children get older, they begin to have their own opinions. It has started with us from clothes, to color of bow, to where she wants her birthday. I had to eventually let my control issues go and give her the party that she wanted. And I am so [...]
