Princess of Fire: November 2009
http://seattlefireprincess.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 27, 2009. To eat or not to eat? Since I can't fathom Thanksgiving without gluttony, I tried every trick to convince Savannah that eating is more fun than not eating. We made pancakes for breakfast, but she refused to touch them. (Seriously, are we related? After many other failed attempts at even getting her to taste something, I whipped out the Holy Grail of kid bribes in our house - olives! When it was finally time to go to Grandma's for dinner, Savannah threw the loudest and most inte...

Princess of Fire: October 2009
http://seattlefireprincess.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 3, 2009. I can't believe that our little Vivian is 6 months old! In the short time that she's been with our family, we have gotten to know her pretty well. For instance, we've learned that she really likes to eat pears, applesauce, red peppers, cucumbers, puffed cereal, and cupcakes (oh, dear). She likes taking baths, being outside, squealing when happy.or bored.or upset, watching Signing Time with Savannah (jab my eyes out now! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Greg and Debbie Family.

Princess of Fire: One item off the list
http://seattlefireprincess.blogspot.com/2010/05/one-item-off-list.html
Monday, May 17, 2010. One item off the list. I've been feeling a bit down on myself lately, because I have such a long list of things that I want to do, and not nearly enough time or energy to do them. I often feel as though I would be a truly amazing person if I just had another hour to sleep at night and another hour to cross things off of this list. During the lesson, at first I could only feel guilt that I had not been more perfect at keeping records. I kept having flash-forwards (is that a word?

Princess of Fire: Small Town Livin'
http://seattlefireprincess.blogspot.com/2011/01/small-town-livin.html
Sunday, January 16, 2011. Living with my family in Mayfield, UT has. Taught me a lot about small town life. Although I lived in an even smaller town until I was 12, I had forgotten what can happen to a sociological group when imprisoned in small clusters by miles of pasture land and a limited dating pool. Just in case you ever find yourself in a farming town with a population of 400 people or less, here is a list of things you may not be adequately prepared for:. 4 If your car goes off the road. 9 Everyw...

Princess of Fire: March 2011
http://seattlefireprincess.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 6, 2011. Yesterday, I read a post on Facebook by a friend who had recently fallen down in front of the grocery store while holding her toddler. There were no serious injuries, with the exception of my friend's favorite jeans (may they rest in peace), but my friend and her baby both spent a few moments shedding some tears on a bench in front of the store. The kids sang Happy Birthday to Savannah, and we played in the beautiful leaves before heading home. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Princess of Fire: February 2010
http://seattlefireprincess.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 4, 2010. The day after Christmas. With the arrival of Christmas came the arrival of the much-desired bike. Unfortunately, no one told Savannah that she would actually have to learn to ride it. After watching other kids at the park breeze past her on their bikes with huge smiles on their faces, she naturally assumed it would be that simple. However, she soon realized that riding a bike takes skill, coordination and a bit of courage. And there's Viv watching everything in stunned silence.

Princess of Fire: July 2009
http://seattlefireprincess.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2009. Vivian is finally four months old! At her checkup, we found out that she weighs 12 lbs. 12 oz and is 26 inches long. That puts her in the 35% for weight and the 95% for height! I think she is going to be tall and thin like her dad and big sister. Thursday, July 23, 2009. To every parent who has ever tried to sleep train a baby, my heart goes out to you! In our desperation, we began the sleep training journey last Friday. So far, it's been pretty rough. Hyrum is sleeping ...

Princess of Fire: December 2009
http://seattlefireprincess.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 31, 2009. As always, I have to begin with a picture of Viv. Now, on to Christmas. I really think this has been my favorite Christmas since being married, which is probably because it's the first year I have a child who understands the magic. Savannah fully embraced the concept of Santa Clause for the first time, which is good for bribes, but not good for sleeping on Christmas Eve. Savannah has a book called The Sweet Smell of Christmas. It was so dead that the branches snapped off when...
