A working list, mostly for my own benefit, but also for those who asked.
Need for Baby
Car Seat (probably a new Radian 65 or 80, which rear faces to 40 lbs. – great for my heavy babies! – or a high back booster for Maya, shifting the other car seats down to Ellery, Asher, and Baby)
Ergo [...]

I flew to Boston with Asher and met my new niece! And totally lame, but I have no pictures to go with this post. My computer is full again. Need to do more deleting and uploading to SmugMug. (If you want to join SmugMug, which I love, and want to save yourself $5 and earn [...]

For years now, I’ve had this struggle with trying to decide where in my day getting dressed fits. See, my kids aren’t super awake and jumping out of bed every morning, so letting them eat in their pajamas gets them energized for dressing and making beds afterward.
However. Bedsheets and bedclothes are to be kept clean, [...]

We would like to buy a Bible for Maya for her sixth birthday next month. She has asked for one, and now that she is reading so well, I think it’s the right time for her to have one. We already have several excellent and well-loved children’s story Bibles, so that’s covered. What I’m looking [...]

I’m realizing that Elly will be moving (next Tuesday!) out of the only home she has ever remembered living in.
Maya did the same thing when she was only two, and she doesn’t remember that house. Will Elly, at three, remember our 1929 bungalow on Graff Avenue? Will she remember her first bed, the room [...]

If you ever go to the beach with your children, please read this, written by earthchicknits (a friend-of-a-friend that I met at a wedding once–and a darn good crafter, too).
Such an important reminder.

Found some wonderful posts (thanks to Tricia) written by father and pastor Andy Fletcher, who advocates family-integrated worship and seems to have made it work wonderfully in his church. Check out Tricia’s post for some good comments, too.
Some clips:

I’m taking a little break from my blogging hiatus to link you to my friend Nate’s blog post on a child’s place among us in the church. (Didn’t know I was taking a hiatus, did you? Neither did I. But it’s been nice.) It’s excellent. Here’s an excerpt:
It is clear from the Scriptures that [...]

Things remain a bit difficult with our sweet Maya. She has good days and bad, and is mostly herself. There are just these episodes once or twice a day that leave both her and her parents feeling totally out of whack. We think she’s having difficulty with transitions and goodbyes, especially since all of this [...]
