The Armstrong Brood: Boys.
http://thearmstrongbrood.blogspot.com/2011/02/boys.html
Monday, February 7, 2011. Disclaimer: If you don't appreciate "boy" (i.e., anatomically full) talk, skip this post. I am pretty sure that my boys and their boys will want to read this someday, but the rest of you may not want to, unless you are a male (because you can relate) or are the mother of males (because you want to feel normal). Fair warning? With just one boy who knew how to talk, we had our fair share of poo-poo and pee-pee and wee-wee chatter filling the air. Their male parts. The zooming ...

Dan, Kristen, Alexander & Charlie: March 2007
http://danandkristen.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Dan, Kristen, Alexander and Charlie. Tuesday, March 27, 2007. Well, I went in to the hospital yesterday for an amnio (which really hurt by the way! It will be sooooo nice to have her here during the labor and delivery. Yesterday was our 3 year wedding anniversary. We both totally forgot about it. I looked at the date for something at one point yesterday in the hospital and looked at Dan and said, "Happy Anniversary! We both started laughing because it was the furthest thing from our minds. The Dr. as...

Life in Aceh: Singapore
http://zzzzzzgirl.blogspot.com/2007/05/singapore.html
What life is like in this little corner of the world. Tuesday, May 08, 2007. I went to Singapore this weekend. Aside from catching Spiderman 3 on the big screen, we visited the Singapore Botanic Garden. The Orchid Garden was fabulous. Here are 2 of my favorite photos from the outing. This orchid makes a fab computer wall paper. Set background to black, center it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Whereabout (I do actually work). Jul 2007 - Singapore. Jun 2007 - Tibet, China.

Life in Aceh: The China Chronicles - Beijing
http://zzzzzzgirl.blogspot.com/2007/05/china-chronicles-beijing.html
What life is like in this little corner of the world. Tuesday, May 29, 2007. The China Chronicles - Beijing. After a weekend in Bali, overnight stop overs in Singapore and Bangkok, I finally arrived in Beijing this afternoon. This is my first time in Beijing in 7 years, and the city of my birth has morphed into.well, a place I don't recognize! My favorite so far: on the evening news tonight, the headline news was about the price of pork skyrocketing. People are panicking for the other white meat! Wen Jia...

The Armstrong Brood: Weston the almost-talker.
http://thearmstrongbrood.blogspot.com/2015/08/weston-almost-talker.html
Tuesday, August 4, 2015. We have often wondered what Weston will say when he learns how to talk. What is going on up there? What does he find interesting? What will be worth chatting about? We do love that one of his favorite words is "Hi! It kind of sums up his personality. Mr. Social! This morning, he put two words together all on his own. He said to me as I passed him in the hallway. He had the sweetest little bashful smile. He answered with another awesome Weston smile and a little giggle. Sewing Giv...

http://thearmstrongbrood.blogspot.com/2015/07/roles-of-2-4-6-and-8-year-old-on-todays.html
Sunday, July 26, 2015. Roles of the 2-, 4-, 6-, and 8-year-olds on today's hike. Redbud Trail, Lake County. The 8-year-old was a businessman. After he discovered a mountain-lion skull. "Mom, how much could I sell this for? Like to scientists. How much money would they give me for it? He also became quite the conversationalist. Never straying far from my side, with lots to say. A few morsels: "The thing I don't like about hiking is how FAR you have to go. Hiking isn't actually my favorite! Which is a good...

The Armstrong Brood: Capoolie.
http://thearmstrongbrood.blogspot.com/2015/08/capoolie.html
Thursday, August 6, 2015. There's a word in our house that means "everything bad except nothing that. It's a word we made up to acknowledge the hardship and simultaneously to acknowledge that in the big scheme of things, nothing horrible actually happened. It's the word capoolie. Sometimes a boy is in a real capoolie mood. Sometimes a trip is a capoolie adventure. Our house often looks like a real capoolie. The boys and I called our day today a capoolie day. But then came the skipped naps and errands.

The Armstrong Brood: Count Your Complaints
http://thearmstrongbrood.blogspot.com/2009/07/count-your-complaints.html
Friday, July 31, 2009. We are living on the wild side today and not starting off with much writing. But wait. Don't rejoice yet in anticipation of adventurous brevity. Because there is none. We have an entire essay waiting for you at the end, called Count Your Complaints. But first count these photos, hon', starting with. TWO Gracie sent Lukey a package full of all sorts of fun surprises, not the least exciting of which was a Home Depot hat and apron. "LOOK AT ME! And then look at. SEVEN The book is call...

Life in Aceh: 'em Q-Tips
http://zzzzzzgirl.blogspot.com/2007/03/em-q-tips.html
What life is like in this little corner of the world. Saturday, March 24, 2007. I've had some weird requests when it comes to people asking me what I need from home or other more "civilized" places like Singapore. On multiple occasions, I've asked friends to carry out Q-Tips for me. Upon making the request, they've always answered with "ummm, ok" as if I were a nut (maybe I am). Please see Exhibit A below. Left is a non-Indonesian Q-Tip, right is an Indonesian Q-Tip. Do Indonesians not have ear openings?
