My mom has really had her hands full with Jude and his 2 cousins for the past 2 days. This morning, I will head to Litchfield with Levi and Asher to join the fun. (And Andy will stay back home to do whatever it is that Andy does.) I’m not sure if I will be …

Jude, the Peacemaker
When I was a little girl, I’ve been told I was a peacemaker. I was always breaking up fights of boys in our neighborhood. My mom saw that side of Jude. I guess Jude’s cousins had really been going at each other and the little one (Jonah) ended up in tears and wanted his Mommy. …
A Bloody Nose from Dominoes
It sounds like Jude and his cousins, Ivan and Jonah, are having a blast at Grandma and Grandpa’s house. While my mom (their grandma) was making dinner last night, her understanding was that they were downstairs playing dominoes. Of course she assumed they were playing the game with tiles with little dots on them. Oh no. …
Warm Diapers
I’m beginning to get a little worried that my little Levi will never get potty trained. I think I’ve heard that if they don’t like the feel of the wet/messy diapers, it will encourage them to potty train. Levi has been actually throwing fits when I change his really wet diapers lately. He’ll yell, scream …
Jude, the Karate Kid
For at least a year now, I’ve been wanting to get Jude started in karate. Jude’s good friend from across the street is in karate and raves about the awesome instructor. Last night Jude, Asher and I went to the karate school for orientation. I was pretty impressed with everything I saw. Jude loves Kung Fu Panda …
Jude’s Off to Grandma’s
It’s MEA for school-aged Jude and Ivan so my sister sent her boys to my parents’ house for 5 days. Jude is on his way there as well (Uncle Mike picked him up after arriving at the airport after some business trip). Jude is pretty excited to get to spend 4 days with his cousins. But, …
Leaves and Ash
Leaves and Ash (as I sometimes call Levi and Asher) are doing great. Ash is hard to keep up with. I walked from the toy room to the family room tonight while picking up and listening to the debate and thought Levi was at the computer (a common place for him), but it was little Ash. He …
½ Bald, but Beautiful
Half of Jude’s head is still as bald as can be. I noticed when reviewing a history and physical form that his pediatrician had to fill out prior to Jude’s last MRI that the pediatrician noted in the unusual appearance section, “head shaved.†Uh, not really. Some people have been asking us if we are …
Fall Festivities
We had a fun weekend. On Saturday, we went to Andy’s friend’s house for a Oktoberfest party. The friend has a young son and our boys just loved his toys and playset and didn’t want to leave. They also had lots of candy corn on hand so I didn’t really want to leave either. I …
Jude the Sneak
I’ve always known Jude was sneaky, but he demonstrated it quite nicely tonight. First, he asked me, “Is vitamin C good for you?” When I responded affirmatively, he said, “Then can I have some of this pink lemonade. It says ‘good source of vitamin C.’” I felt I couldn’t turn him down at that point …
