Some Frustrations, Some Joys
Jacob is 4. Jessie is 2. Both of these ages are “chaotic”, meaning that the kids are somewhat nuts most of the time. The plan this week was for us to work on the house (finances, garage, etc.) while the kids were in summer camp. That hasn’t happened. The summer camp program we were planning …
Catching up
Well, we’ve found a way to take care of the A/C and reshuffle our debts a bit, so we’re OK for now. However, the bigger long-term issues still apply. The things I need to focus on are: 1. Tracking spending. I don’t do this reliably. 2. Setting a budget AND STICKING TO IT. 3. Reducing …
Where The Words Come From
Jacob’s been a talkative four year-old lately. Notable moments: “Yippee-ki-yo-ki-yay.” We’re not sure where that came from. Hopefully not a Bruce Willis movie. He went with my mom and dad to Central Market this past Saturday where they had a Celtic rock band of some sort. No, it wasn’t Slade for the two of you …
Jacob and TV
How you can tell Jacob’s watching too much TV: He’s playing in Jessie’s room with blocks and suddenly says, “Mommy, look! I found a pause!”
A Vast Difference
Well, the vasectomy happened Friday. I have been in a bit of pain for the past day or so, but it’s not extremely painful by any stretch. Except for the fact that I’m awake and typing on my computer instead of sleeping. That’s one small issue… One of the more frustrating things these days is …
The Growth of Jacob
Jacob’s entering a new phase of life today: school five days a week. His teacher MWF happens to be the same teacher he had when he was in the infant room (Miss Jessica). When this was mentioned to him, he replied, “I was so tiny then, I couldn’t even spell a word.” In a discussion …
A few things Jacob’s said…
Today, they started putting the concrete walls up at Springcreek (our church). Jacob was asked how long he thought it would take. “A rainy day. And a non-rainy day. That’s as long as my life.” We have a Zen master in training… Potty training is also going on, and today, Jacob reported that he pee-peed …
A long update
Let’s see, where to begin: Jacob has a rare blood disorder called Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura. Roughly translated, that is “We don’t know why his platelet count drops and causes bruises.” It only happens when he gets a virus, but he really bruises easily, and we have to watch for possible head bumps. The gist of …
The big update
It’s been a while since I wrote on the blog. Life has kept us rather busy. In short: Jacob turned 3 yesterday. He has new pictures in the webgallery links for April 2007. The pictures are now reasonably sized. Jessie is going through a fussy stage–teeth hurt, tummy hurts, doesn’t want anyone but mama. She’s …
