Thankful Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was good this year.  Thanksgiving dinner was just Mom, Dad, Robert, Laura, Warren, and me.  We got to DeForest around 11:30 on Wednesday.  Warren decided to start his day at 5:15am, so we took advantage.  We finished packing and got on the road early.  Laura woke up, was changed and dressed, then put in […]

Knee Owies

So a bit of back story before Laura’s story starts.  Mom fell and hurt her knee on Tuesday.  When we got here yesterday, Mom had a knee brace on.  However, it was on under her pants so Laura couldn’t see it.  Last night Laura wanted to sit on her grandma’s knee.  Grandma told her that […]

Happy Day

We had a good day.  Laura only took an hour and a half nap, but she was in a fairly decent mood.  I made the mistake of telling her before nap that we’d be going to coffee after nap.  That set her up for excitement.  She started off with “I want coffee!” over and over […]

Way too awake way too early

Warren woke up due to a messy diaper close to an hour and a half ago.  I have not been able to get back to sleep since then.  I am tired, but I can’t turn off my mind.  You are definitely a parent when you have Dora and Diego songs running through you head at […]

Milestone!

I forgot to mention earlier, Warren hit another milestone last night.  I got him to finally laugh out loud.  I love his little laugh.  I really should try to get it on tape. I didn’t get a nap this afternoon.  Warren was up and down a bit.  Now it’s 3 and both kids are up […]

Play Group Withdrawl

I made the decision last night that we wouldn’t go to play group anymore.  I figured we would go this morning and then not after that.  However, things changed.  Warren was insisting to be laid down in his bed for nap at 8:20 this morning.  He was out almost instantly.  I debated if we should […]

Thankful

On Facebook, there is a challenge to post one thing you are thankful for everyday until Thanksgiving. I didn’t start there, but I thought I would see if I can make a list of 26 things I am thankful for here. So here I go…. To be alive… wasn’t so sure I would be 9.5 […]

Appleton Funny

I forgot to mention yesterday our funny moment from the weekend. After we got there Friday afternoon, Laura needed new pants on. She had sat on a piece of cheese and had wet through her pants. Needless to say, they were dirty. So I got to the room where all the bags are to get […]

Appleton visit

We went across the state (usually a 4 hour drive) to visit Liz and Corey. Laura did really well driving, but she didn’t get much sleep on Friday. As a result, she got real whiny. She also didn’t have a nap on Thursday, so that certainly didn’t help her mood Friday night. Well, we get […]

Better Day

Today is going much better than yesterday.  Warren is eating more at once.  He isn’t napping long amounts, but that is ok.  Laura has been in a better mood too.  I have gotten the dishes caught up again.  My goal this afternoon is to get the casserole for tomorrow made up (it has to sit […]
