So much is going on around here, thought I'd post it all in one update! First of all, Christopher. Wow, I can't believe he's growing so fast. It makes me sad and happy at the same time. My little man can't be almost half a year old already! He's SUCH a cutie pie, smiles all the time and has...

As I posted when the school year began, I was a bit concerned that Julian might have some personality/style conflicts with his first grade teacher. To my great pleasure, I appear to have been wrong. Julian has told all of us that he really like his teacher a lot. He still claims not to like...

Something interesting happened today and I'm not sure what else to do. About 6 months ago, we had some work done in our basement (just before Christopher was born) and the workmen used lots of drills and loud tools. They were here several nights that I worked, and my husband had to take Jessica...

I am wanting to crochet some simple hats (and maybe some mitts) for my babies, but I am having *no* luck finding any patterns: almost everything out there is for knitting, and the few crochet ones I find are *way* too girly for my boys. Anyone know of any on-line sites that provide simple crochet...

During a moment of weakness I accepted my work's offer to send me to a conference for 5 days. I leave Wed am and return Sunday evening. Pascal is now over 22 months and very Mamma focused. She will be well looked after at home with DH and her Nanna is coming to stay for a few days, which...

Our 2 1/2 year old daughter started a catholic pre-school just one month ago. Since that time, she's cried every day as my wife walks her to the class and leaves. Several times she threw a tantrum and kicked my wife and cried hysterically. My wife says the older children only cried the first...

Our 4 year old was very excited about starting preschool. About 1 month before starting he decided he is not going. This is fine since it is just 2 mornings a week it wasn't anything he had to do. We thought it would be more of a 'fun' experience for him than anything else and give him an extra...

Do your kids get to interact with other children on a regularly scheduled basis? How does this work? Are people receptive to having nannies show up at home-based playgroups? And if they rotate, do the nannies host playgroup at your house while you're at work? Do you provide your nanny with...

Hi, I am new here. I am trying to decorate my daughters room and I heard that some of the stuff from Target's "Flowers etc" collection matches an old PBK's collection. I was hoping to mix and match but I don't know the name of the collection (I think it may be from last year?) Does anyone know the...

Sophie is 2.5 years old. I am starting to prepare some lists for Christmas gifts (for DH and I to give her, as well as grandparents, etc). Sophie is a book fanatic, she has a ton, but she is now ready for more involved stories. Any suggestions on books for an 2.5-3 year olds would be appreciated,...

Start early, leave later The hockey skates are gathering dust in the basement. The violin sits unplayed. The soccer ball, once a source of athletic pride, has been shelved in favor of the football. http://www.washtimes.com/familytimes/20030927-112318-5070r.htm Fit activity to child's...

Well we have decided to get a double stroller that makes me happy, since I don't like the two I have now (long story if you don't already know it). But since we're moving in a month and ended up buying a home in the mountains, on a rugged dirt road, I've realized that I"m going to need something...
