We agreed this year that a garden would be good &#8211; it would teach the girls about natural foods, how things grow, and ultimately give us some good vegetables, too. [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m not sure that we&#8217;ve gotten (or will ever get) the whole story, but you read it right &#8211; Natalie broke her arm last month playing in her room.  Apparently her sister told her one thing, then something else happened and then&#8230; well, apparently, in her words, &#8220;I forgot to put my feet out.&#8221;

It&#8217;s difficult to believe that my daughters are old enough to be riding scooters &#8211; it seems like just yesterday that they were &#8220;scooting&#8221; around the house as part of learning to walk.  But here we are 2009 &#8211; Sofi is 5 and Natalie is 4 &#8211; and they&#8217;re out riding their [...]]]></description>

It seems like just yesterday that I was standing in the maternity ward waiting (and stressing) about the birth of our first child.  We didn&#8217;t even know what sex she would be, let alone how much work and joy that she would bring to our lives.  Five years later and the only thing I want [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ll have some photos coming up to the site sometime really soon, but I wanted to share with everyone that we have actually completed the unwrapping (not too out of control this year) and right now Mama, Sofi and Natalie are all playing with the new Cinderella game (complete with battery powered musical, lighted shoe) [...]]]></description>

Christmas is off to a rip-roaring start this year and the girls are as excited as can be.  So far they have found the bicycles that Santa left and cleaned out their stockings.  The first gift, from Grammy and Grampy has caused quite a stir.  They each got a barbie doll that includes a golden [...]]]></description>
