High Tech, No Tech

Posted in Uncategorized on March 5, 2010 | 3 Comments »

Would you believe I had a nice long post ready to go, and then some two-year-old did something to my computer and then my post disappeared! And so I thought I’d show you some pictures of the trip the boys and I took to the local children’s museum yesterday, and now I can’t find my [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

It’s a lousy picture, I know, but I got it on the fly with my cell phone. Kieran had been asleep before dinner, and he was cranky and angry all through dinner because we woke him up to eat (and also to keep him from sleeping through the evening and getting up for the day [...]

Snowmageddon!

Or at least that’s what President Obama has named the storm that hit our area overnight. We ended up with maybe 10-12 inches here, but just a few miles south, the towns saw two feet, and in Delaware and west, three feet. We have had two of the five largest snowstorms ever to hit the [...]

Aaaaahhhhhhh…………..the sweet memories of last summer. We drive past that fountain every morning on our way to drop Liam of at kindergarten, and it has long since been turned off and drained. We have had some very cold days, and an unusually long string of them, too.
It did moderate somewhat today when the temperature climbed [...]

We had a wonderful, peaceful Christmas here at the Menagerie House. As we went through the various holiday rituals and traditions, I was reminded again and again how blessed Kevin and I are to be together for all these years now, and how blessed we are by having our beautiful, playful, and kind boys to [...]

If you’ve heard or seen the weather reports today, our area is experiencing a major snowstorm. While we have only seen three inches or so at our house today, reports still say we will have 14 inches of the lovely snowy stuff by tomorrow morning. It’s rare to have a white Christmas in central New [...]

Sex Ed – The Toddler Curriculum

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , on December 13, 2009 | 2 Comments »

One of my favorite things about being a parent is the times when I can listen to my children talk out a problem. I guess it’s the teacher in me that loves to hear exactly how a child fits a newly learned item into his understanding of the world, or just that I love puzzles [...]

I’m  running around trying to get some holiday things done, just like everyone else right now, and so I haven’t had time to finish my Thanksgiving Round-Up post with party pictures and such-hopefully I can get to that this weekend?? Who knows…

Thanksgiving?

Well, let me tell you a little tale about a pair of anxious parents-to-be. They had waited months to see their sweet little baby boy, to count his toes, to count his fingers, and to gaze, enraptured, at the the thought that a tiny, tiny, bit of Mommy and a tiny, tiny, tiny, bit of [...]

Yes, we had Liam’s sixth birthday party here this weekend. It was a lot of fun with friends and family spread all across the house for most of the afternoon. As soon as I’ve managed to post more pictures I’ll show you some from the party, but in the meantime, here’s a bit of Thanksgiving [...]
