“Eight Is Enough!”

becky | August 29, 2008

If you watched the Democratic National Convention last night, heard Barack Obama’s speech and you weren’t moved in a deep way, please check your pulse now.  You either have the Tin Man’s heart, or you are Dick Cheney. Obama knocked it out of the park and finally did what we Democrats needed so badly.  He was tough. [...]

Thanks to Marketing Mama, I got a little hooked on this site.  In fact now I’m searching to see if they have some sort of support group. Since I’m getting my haircut again today, (yes, same hairdresser.  This is his last shot!) I thought I would try out some different styles.   Especially since I can’t let “Blake” [...]

Good Chair Day

becky | August 25, 2008

My father, bless his heart, is truly a minimalist.  He’s just not a fan of many material processions.  In fact, whenever Ben and I are leaving their house (which is almost on a daily basis) my dad always looks around desperately trying to give us something.  Just to get it out of the house! “Wait!  Is this your [...]

Something weird has been going on as of late.  We registered Ben for school.   We went school supply shopping.  The weather has been turning somewhat cooler at night.  The calendar is saying it’s past August 20th.   And the school hot lunch menu is back on our fridge. It’s just sorta weird.  But it DOESN’T MEAN anything.  Nope.  Not a [...]

Camp is over. And I’m sad. Honestly I thought I would feel some relief to have my house back and the quiet, but darn it, it’s TOO QUIET!  BEN!  MAKE MORE NOISE! I dropped Amy and the kids off at the airport in Milwaukee this morning and then proceeded to cry until Johnson Creek.  For [...]

Spit Brothers

One of the many wonderful things to come out of this week with my cuz and her fam is the very thick relationship that has developed between Ben and Samuel. Since we were just out in Seattle in March, it didn’t take them long to get reacquainted.  And therefore, throughout the whole week, these two [...]

Letters From Camp – Volume 1

becky | August 17, 2008

Hello Mudda. Hello Fadda.  Greetings from, Camp Runamukah. Welcome to day two at Camp Runamukah! Things are going fairly smoothly.  We have had lots of messes, lots of laughs and lots of tears. Luckily none of the tears are from the counselors.  Yet. Our campers of all ages are playing together nicely. In the mess hall, during breakfast, we have [...]
