Our Crazy Normal: February 2012
http://ourcrazynormal.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 21, 2012. Abby had dress rehearsal for dance for her AFFECT group this weekend. AFFECT is the competition dance group that she is participating in this year. She is absolutely loving it and it has been fun to see her grow as a dancer. Somehow, I got lucky enough to have captured this beautiful shot! I think I'm going to print and frame for her room! Sunday, February 19, 2012. We have never celebrated half birthdays in our house. It didn't make sense to her, and only confused her more...

Our Crazy Normal: sleep please!
http://ourcrazynormal.blogspot.com/2010/06/sleep-please.html
Wednesday, June 16, 2010. Well, we're here in Beijing. We found our driver no problem, he's also our guide for our time in Beijing; he's very nice. I have to listen closely to understand his english, but he's very nice. Anyways, by the time we got upstairs, we were both in tears. Ben said 'i just wanna go home.' He's so tired. So am I. He was a trooper today. Anyways, I really am exhausted, so that's all I've got for now. I did not realize you were traveling with BEN! You are higher than any other .

Our Crazy Normal: half birthdays
http://ourcrazynormal.blogspot.com/2012/02/half-birthdays.html
Sunday, February 19, 2012. We have never celebrated half birthdays in our house. We've never needed to, and with 5 kids, if we added half birthdays in, we would be celebrating all the time! Well, Emily is our first summer birthday. So start of preschool this year and snack calendar predetermined for us that she would bring bday treats and have share day on her half birthday. EXCEPT, that her half birthday is the day after Christmas. Break for school. So now that it's past, I'm waiting for her to start as...

Our Crazy Normal: March 2011
http://ourcrazynormal.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 27, 2011. Too much not to post. This post has been evolving for a long time. I've mentioned more than once, here on the blog, how hard our adoption and subsequent transition has been since arriving home. Not to mention the whole long story that brought us to this place. And I know, that. Is a relative term. Difficult to bear or endure. Harsh, severe, or offensive in tendency or effect. Intense in force, manner, or degree. Demanding the exertion of energy. Calling for stamina and endurance.

Our Crazy Normal: January 2011
http://ourcrazynormal.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 19, 2011. Friday, January 14, 2011. So, the other night Jason was off with Abby at activities so I fed the rest of the kiddos solo. The boys got done and ran off to play, leaving me at the table with the two littles. I put a few pieces of Jenna's dinner onto her highchair tray, and there was one piece that was actually 3 pieces stuck together. I know this seems like no big deal, but here, in our house at mealtime, that self-control with food is HUGE for Jenna! Monday, January 3, 2011.

Thursday, December 29, 2011. Tuesday, December 20, 2011. Time of the year, right? We've been enjoying much of the fun of the season. Baking cookies, Christmas concerts, piano recitals.the stuff that life with 5 kids brings. Sunday, December 4, 2011. Uncle Brian and Julie got married! Jason was the best man, Abby the flower girl (the littles were 'honorary flower girls'), and the boys were ushers, and I did a reading from Colossians. Friday, December 2, 2011. Ben turned 12 today! I wish it would slow down.

Wednesday, September 21, 2011. This has already been such a fun season of fall sports around here. Ben is playing his second year of tackle football. It's 5th/6th graders. It has been so amazing and fun to see him as a leader on the team.all his buddies as the 6th graders this year have really stepped up their games and it's been quite impressive! He has the good fortune of playing on a team with several of his closest friends, which makes it that much sweeter for him. Tuesday, September 20, 2011. I'm a ...
