The Marine, the Baby, and Me. Wednesday, January 25, 2012. Thank you for being my daughter. You amaze me every day, with all the things you learn and absorb. You can:. Pick up pieces of food, and feed yourself. Play with Mama - you screech when you're being "chased", and giggle and growl when you're doing the chasing. Sleep in a big girl crib. Sing yourself to sleep. Entertain yourself, playing with blocks and Legos and hugging your stuffed toys. Crawl so fast that Mama can barely keep up with you! Not f...

The Marine, the Baby, and Me: Memories
http://themarinethebabyandme.blogspot.com/2011/12/memories.html
The Marine, the Baby, and Me. Saturday, December 31, 2011. That's all. In less than six hours, 2011 will be another memory, so I am commemorating this event with some of my favorite (and least favorite) from the past year. (Really wishing I could tag people.). Least favorite memory: December 6th, 3:30 pm, watching Dave walk away for (thankfully his last) seven-month stretch. *sniff*. I hope that your 2011 was wonderful, and that 2012 will bring joy and prosperity! December 31, 2011 at 5:40 PM. Watermark ...

http://livingthealaskadream.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 31, 2011. First and most important . My hubby is home. He's still not feeling good. Still having the same symptoms, just not nearly as bad as before. This is a great puzzle over here.He did drive today and was out for a bit. It may take a while, but a little better every day is a fabulous thing. On Saturday while he was taking one of his many naps, this came to live with us. I've been trying a few different things lately. I tried felting slippers out of wool roving and they promptly w...

The Marine, the Baby, and Me: July 2011
http://themarinethebabyandme.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
The Marine, the Baby, and Me. Wednesday, July 20, 2011. Happy Mom, Happy Home. I am so excited to introduce the three newest members of our family - two matching swivel/rocking recliners and a HUGE desk! Exactly, but that's life. Hopefully we'll see him Friday - we miss him! The chairs I found on craigslist - and that's a whole 'nother story. The posting clearly. Stated - "Matching Recliners" (note the PLURAL) - "$75". Am I wrong here in interpreting that to mean I can have both for $75? So, finally we h...

Living the Alaska Dream: The melting of a mom's heart.
http://livingthealaskadream.blogspot.com/2012/03/melting-of-moms-heart.html
Friday, March 16, 2012. The melting of a mom's heart. There are some things that just melt a mom's heart. We carry our babies within us, loving them from the moment we know of their existence. We prepare for their arrival with eager anticipation. Then they enter our world and reshape our entire existence. From that moment on, they carry our heart with them in each footstep. In each heart ache. As a mom, we are certainly needed. In all of that we are needed. Perhaps they fly far away. Yet she still yearns...
