The Beautiful Adventure Known as Life With Kids: December 2013
http://kristinnv.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
The Beautiful Adventure Known as Life With Kids. Friday, December 6, 2013. My beautiful and wise daughter is 8 today! She lifts weights. She encourages me to do yoga with her. (I *try* to like yoga. She took the DVD from a friend of hers! I just want to tell her to enjoy life, to stop stressing out about stuff like abdominal muscles and gymnastics moves. I want her to be a little girl. Look at that TINY hand! She used to suck the "I love you" fingers just like Aunt Jorgie did. Gabe with his baby sister!

The Beautiful Adventure Known as Life With Kids: June 2013
http://kristinnv.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
The Beautiful Adventure Known as Life With Kids. Monday, June 3, 2013. Surgery and Trying to Learn that the Other Shoe isn't Always About to Drop. Friday morning, Sofia had a minor surgery to remove a mole from her head. It was a surgery I wasn't thrilled with, mainly because it wasn't one I thought she needed. But after three different opinions that all ended in a "better to be safe than sorry" type of prognosis, we ended up having the surgery. And "Will it hurt? Gabe was really worried about his sister...

The Beautiful Adventure Known as Life With Kids. Monday, December 31, 2012. And We're Back to Regularly-Scheduled Programming. Gabe waltzes out of the bathroom the other morning with his testicles cupped in his hand to ask me, "Hey Mom, what's inside here? I turn to look at him. "What? I swear that last line that I just regurgitated to Gabe comes straight out of that book.). Are they called "balls" because they bounce? Gabe: But what's inside? If I took scissors and cut 'em, what would come out? January ...

The Beautiful Adventure Known as Life With Kids: School Mornings
http://kristinnv.blogspot.com/2013/04/school-mornings.html
The Beautiful Adventure Known as Life With Kids. Saturday, April 20, 2013. How I intend for mornings to go:. I wake up each kid with lots of kisses and hugs and cheerfully nudge them out of bed chirping, "Rise and shine! It's time to start a glorious new day! How most mornings *actually* go:. 6:30: attempt 2, I begin to beg. "C'mon guys, please. You have to get up, or you won't have enough time to eat breakfast.". 7:00: final attempt, I start to get annoyed and launch into a voice that apparently Gabe ha...

The Beautiful Adventure Known as Life With Kids. Wednesday, May 9, 2012. I'm getting so bad at posting. Work is crazy busy, and I seem to barely keep up with laundry at home.

Gabe and one of his best buds Luca. Alexandria and Jeremy and us at Dave and Buster's sans kiddos. Fun picture of us all dolled up to go to Brianna's bat mitzvah.

The Beautiful Adventure Known as Life With Kids: December 2011
http://kristinnv.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
The Beautiful Adventure Known as Life With Kids. Wednesday, December 28, 2011. To say December has been jampacked with activities would be the understatement of the year! So I said, "C'mon guys, we've had a lot of junk the last few days - let's eat something sorta healthy," fully realizing the irony in this statement, based on our choices. Sofia piped up with, "Yeah and we don't want any junk in our trunks, do we Mom? Junk in our butts? Are those REAL horses? So, yeah, I drank the Kool-Aid a bit. ;) ...

http://kristinnv.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
The Beautiful Adventure Known as Life With Kids. Wednesday, November 7, 2012. Sofia, the art-lovin', bow-carrying cheerleader and Gabe the violinist-, ipod-playing werewolf. I can't believe I'll be in Sacramento for work this week and then in San Antonio the following week. It's going to be a busy couple of weeks. And 2013 will be here before we know it! I'm attaching a few recent photos - enjoy! Sofia's rendition of Frida Kahlo (over breakfast yesterday morning). The kids acting scared on Halloween.

The Beautiful Adventure Known as Life With Kids. Saturday, August 3, 2013. I have a 10-year-old! It's hard to believe you're 10 today! Whoever said "don't blink" wasn't kidding! You're growing up way too fast! And I have just a few things I want to tell you on this special occasion. :). What 4-year-old does that? You're such a kind and funny boy, and most of the time, you're protective of your sister (although of course you do your fair share of bickering at each other)! I love you, my little man! Here y...
