It’s that time of year again. Every winter I gather all our favorite soup and stew recipes and bring down the crock pot and restaurant containers and spend the better part of a day making as many different meals as I can fit into our basement freezer. It’s something that I fine tune a [...]

10.03.10 # 1:13 # Family # 17 CommentsEarlier this evening, after the girls were asleep, I went back downstairs to finish a painting project (yes, I underestimated the number of coats of paint it would take to make our dining room walls red.)
I’m not certain how long she was calling out for me, but I didn’t hear Elena until after she [...]

Yesterday we set a household record… Not for the number of Dora the Explorer Pullups we changed, nor for the increadible number of times each girl climbed the coffee table to jump on the big sofa (our version of an indoor jungle gym), and not even for the staggering amount of food being consumed.
