The Seigler Family Christmas Vacation
2010-12-12 13:41
Because Christmas isn't hectic enough, we have decided to squeeze in a trip to Disney World. I've been planning it for 6 months and managed to keep it a surprise the entire time. That's a huge feat for me, considering I can't keep anything to myself for more than a day. Yesterday...
RIP Phoebe
2010-12-12 13:22
Phoebe was our kitty. She was a year and a half when we got her. Trevor was only 3 months old at the time, so she's been a part of the family practically since we were one. She was extremely needy, constantly competing for attention with the kids, often accompanying them in my...
Potty Training
2010-12-05 09:36
Is this it? Do I dare dream? Am I nearing the end of wiping poopy bottoms? My youngest just used the potty for the very first time. She's been showing signs of readiness for quite some time, and she finally did it. Based on her brother and sister, I thought I had at...
Thankful
2010-12-03 13:18
This is a little late, but better late than never, right? In honor of Thanksgiving, I'm making a list of what I'm thankful for. (Groan, I know, but bear with me.) For Thanksgiving we went home, which mean I didn't have to cook. That's the first thing I'm thankful for, by the...
Halloweekend
2010-11-01 08:43
When I was a kid, I was scared of everything- ghosts, aliens, dinosaurs (I was so sure Jurassic Park could actually happen, I had nightmares about it.) Unfortunately, I seem to have passed the scaredy cat/ worry wart gene down to my son. For example after we returned home from...
What Happened to October???
2010-10-27 08:11
Birthdays, Fair, Concert, Mountains...not to mention tests, projects, practicums. Where did the month go?
Im summary, Vic turned 5, and I turned 29...again for about the 4th time. We went to the fair where The Avett Brothers played. I try every year to ignore my birthday, so...
What a Difference a Year Makes
2010-10-02 22:44
So for the past 5 years I've been through a parental bootcamp of sorts. It started on October 1, 2005 with a beautiful baby girl who was feisty from day 1. She never went through what I call the "blobby" infant stage of just lying there, snuggling, and being adorable. The day...
Mud Run!!!
2010-09-25 15:28
Today we did the Mud Run. By "we", I mean Wesley did it with his cousins, and I watched the kids. I was there in spirit, dammit, so that should count for something. He came out looking like something I had nightmares about as a kid, so I can't imagine what his own kids thought...
Last Weekend of Summer
2010-09-20 09:38
We still have 2 days of summer left and my kids have already started making their Christmas lists. I think it's safe to say they're even more ready for the seasons to change than I am. Even with Fall fast approaching, it's still in the mid-90s here, so we spent the weekend camping...
Sayanora Summer, Hola Fall
2010-09-06 21:42
I know we technically have a couple of weeks left in summer, but for the most part, once Labor Day is over, its days are numbered. I, for one, am welcoming the season change. First of all, I'm a fall baby. Second, these 90 plus degree temps are killers. And third, Fall means...
