Adventures with the Ratcliff Family: Rodeo Time!!
http://ratcliffclan.blogspot.com/2011/02/rodeo-time.html
Adventures with the Ratcliff Family. Richard * Nicole * Calli * Serena * Jameson *. Monday, February 7, 2011. The morning started out bitterly cold. The temperature was in the 20s, but there was a nasty wind that dropped that down into the teens. I don't have mittens or gloves for anyone in the family! So the walk was definitely not the highlight of the day, but having competed in last year's race I knew there was some great food and Starbucks waiting for us at the end! The kids got to ride ponies and ha...

Adventures with the Ratcliff Family: A sad time for education in America
http://ratcliffclan.blogspot.com/2011/09/sad-time-for-education-in-america.html
Adventures with the Ratcliff Family. Richard * Nicole * Calli * Serena * Jameson *. Thursday, September 1, 2011. A sad time for education in America. I felt a little frustrated when I found out that a lot of kids enter first grade not knowing how to read. That is fine and dandy, but my daughter has been reading chapter books over the summer and her teacher said that being proficient in reading was basically the only requirement to go on to the second grade (great, can we skip her ahead now? We are a fami...

Adventures with the Ratcliff Family: Snow Day!!
http://ratcliffclan.blogspot.com/2011/02/snow-day.html
Adventures with the Ratcliff Family. Richard * Nicole * Calli * Serena * Jameson *. Friday, February 4, 2011. This is what people who don't live in the snow do:. Freak out when the temperatures hit the teens. Panic when any kind of precipitation falls from the sky. Close down all schools and places of business. Take pictures of the 1/28 an inch of ice on the ground outside the house. Bundle the kids up in makeshift winter clothes they wear one day out of the year and send them outside to. Get Your Own Map.

Adventures with the Ratcliff Family: Winding down
http://ratcliffclan.blogspot.com/2011/08/winding-down.html
Adventures with the Ratcliff Family. Richard * Nicole * Calli * Serena * Jameson *. Thursday, August 11, 2011. Calli going back to school is very bittersweet and probably more bitter than sweet at this point. Putting Jameson in a toddler bed at the beginning of this summer was the best decision ever. The kids have been sleeping later than they ever have. They usually get up around 7am and all go downstairs together to start painting or reading or (eek! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Adventures with the Ratcliff Family: First Day of School
http://ratcliffclan.blogspot.com/2011/08/first-day-of-school.html
Adventures with the Ratcliff Family. Richard * Nicole * Calli * Serena * Jameson *. Monday, August 22, 2011. First Day of School. Today my BIG six-year-old went off to her first day of first grade. Why does it feel like kindergarten was practice and now we are in the "real deal" for school? You can leave now, you're embarrassing me! Her true thoughts I'm sure! I am also going to have to walk her for the first few days at least to make sure she knows where she is going. There are all kinds of crazy tw...

Adventures with the Ratcliff Family: Welcome to the third trimester!
http://ratcliffclan.blogspot.com/2011/09/welcome-to-third-trimester.html
Adventures with the Ratcliff Family. Richard * Nicole * Calli * Serena * Jameson *. Thursday, September 1, 2011. Welcome to the third trimester! All I know is, babies come when they are ready! I am just glad that I am due at the beginning of the month and not the end because I really wouldn't want a birthday that close to Christmas. It's getting hard to manuveur my body in certain ways and especially hard to pick things up (like the toys I am constantly getting off the floor! So just 91 days to go! We ar...

Adventures with the Ratcliff Family: Just another crazy day in Texas
http://ratcliffclan.blogspot.com/2011/02/just-another-crazy-day-in-texas.html
Adventures with the Ratcliff Family. Richard * Nicole * Calli * Serena * Jameson *. Wednesday, February 2, 2011. Just another crazy day in Texas. I just sent Calli off to school all bundled up like an eskimo. A long sleeve shirt, a sweater, a big jacket and a never worn scarf of mine to complete the look. She's actually only walking maybe one hundred feet into the school, where they left the heater on all night, so I probably didn't need to do so much. Don't tell other parents that though!

Adventures with the Ratcliff Family: Chilling thoughts
http://ratcliffclan.blogspot.com/2011/02/chilling-thoughts.html
Adventures with the Ratcliff Family. Richard * Nicole * Calli * Serena * Jameson *. Wednesday, February 9, 2011. Do you know why I like the cold? And the day was deathly cold. We are talking wind chills in the teens! As a particularly strong wind gust cut through my body I was just filled with thankfulness at being here. At being alive and healthy enough to feel this weather, to appreciate everything I have been given. My sister lost a close friend over the weekend in a way that makes you realize that yo...

Adventures with the Ratcliff Family: Bragging Rights
http://ratcliffclan.blogspot.com/2011/06/bragging-rights.html
Adventures with the Ratcliff Family. Richard * Nicole * Calli * Serena * Jameson *. Monday, June 6, 2011. I am now the proud mother of a first grader! How did that happen? I'm not quite sure and I'm still trying to convince Calli to go to kindergarten again next year. But, alas, she is all ready for the first grade. I was driving her to school on Thursday and told her it was her last day of school. My intelligent, highly movitivated daughter responded with "yep! Slow down, kid, slow down. She was tested ...
