Mid-Michigan Update

Posted in Jessie, Job, Parenting, Samantha, Weather on February 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

The piles of snow have melted over the past couple of days. The warmer weather has been fantastic.  I biked to work yesterday and today and didn’t even have to wear the gloves, balaclava, or ear muffs.  It was great.  It’s also amazing how much better the bikes ride when it’s warm – when it [...]

Brrrrrrrrrrrr!

We got up this morning and it was freezing downstairs.  The boiler was out.  What a sucky way to start the day.  I had planned to take the day off anyway because Sam was sick.  Matt took the morning off. Sam’s doctor’s appointment was the same time as the boiler appointment.  The boiler’s working now [...]

You Cannot Puree Lasagna

Even if you add more spaghetti sauce to thin it out a bit.
I tried.  But there was just no way to get that stuff to a pureed state so that Sam wouldn’t guess she was being fed something with noodles in it.  There were still big chunks of noodle.  And it was so thick that [...]

Wet Wednesday

Yippee! The little tike slept all night last night.  Unfortunately, both kids were up and yammering to each other this morning around 5:30.  They generally wake up before we get into their room to get them out of bed and we don’t feel really obligated to go in there and do anything unless one of [...]

Wet Monday

I’m typing this totally soaking wet from riding home from work on my bike.  Why don’t you change your clothes, you ask? Because the rest of them are in the washing machine, and besides, hopefully these’ll dry fast enough on me so that I’m dry when I pick up the kids in 30 minutes.  And, [...]

So much going on…

Posted in Food, Jessie, Matt, Parenting, Samantha, Sleep, Transportation, Weather, health on July 2, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

…and yet every day it seems like the same thing.
Right now we’re having a heck of a little thunderstorm. I managed to get home before it started raining. Somehow that seems so much more important when you’re walking or biking than it does when you’re in the car.
I’m also making soup for supper.  Sure, it’s [...]

Happy Leap Day

Posted in Weather on February 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Yesterday, time was moving too quickly.  Today it’s going too slow. Where the heck is spring????  I know, I know, we’re in Michigan (Wisconsin, Minnesota….) and should expect winter to last until the end of April, but I just can’t take another day of cold and snow.  If we could have just one really warm [...]

That was too good to last.

Both kids were up at 1:45am, requesting a bottle.  Both parents were up at that time, administering bottles.  The cats were perched on the bed thinking “Too bad for all of you, we get to sleep all day tomorrow.”
It was pretty hard to get up this morning. We got about 3 inches of snow Tuesday [...]
