Talk Nerdy To Me: Kai Turns Nine: Halfway to Adulthood
http://www.talknerdytomeblog.com/2015/08/kai-turns-nine-halfway-to-adulthood.html
Monday, August 03, 2015. Kai Turns Nine: Halfway to Adulthood. Today our Kai Bear turns nine. He let me know that he is officially halfway to being an adult which made me stop and think. An adult? Yes, I can see it. Kai is a typical oldest child in that he's responsible and a good leader. Yes, he might like to lead a bit. Much and is a touch. Too competitive, but really, if that's our biggest concern right now, then I'd say we're just fine. PS Your freckles are so cute. I may know a bit about it too ;).

Talk Nerdy To Me: December 2014
http://www.talknerdytomeblog.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 29, 2014. With just a few days left in 2014, everybody's talking about New Year's Resolutions. My goal last year. Was to put Gary ahead of the kids. I think we were finally at the stage where I had a little bit more freedom from the kiddos (no naps, diapers or breastfeeding) so it was realistic. This year we were able to work on our marriage and I'm so thankful for where we are and the direction we are headed. What are my goals for 2015? 1 Continue to work on our marriage. I just took Ka...

Talk Nerdy To Me: June 2015
http://www.talknerdytomeblog.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 29, 2015. At the Risk Of Happiness. What is that sweet spot between being safe and responsible and allowing, or even embracing, risk and change? What helps us out of our comfort zone? If what we are currently doing doesn't make us feel happy or fulfilled then maybe we need to alter our mindset or our situation. It sounds simple but what holds us back? I knew that my parents did not want us to risk our job security. They each had the same job for over 30 years. Crazy, right? Well, fast-forwar...

Talk Nerdy To Me: An Honest Look At Where We're At
http://www.talknerdytomeblog.com/2015/08/an-honest-look-at-where-were-at.html
Saturday, August 08, 2015. An Honest Look At Where We're At. Sohow are things going after adding another child to our family through fostering? It started off with a lot of adrenaline and emotional (for all of us) and has now morphed into a time of exhaustion and cuddles and some "wonderful" viruses. How are our biological kids doing? How is the Little One doing? Beyond what my own kids did. The night time? How am I doing? And then at night I feel like "Oh my goodness, I don't know what to do! I hope you...

http://www.talknerdytomeblog.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 30, 2015. This week I am thankful for:. 1 Our king size bed. I loooooooooooooooooove crawling into our bed at the end of the day. PS Anyone else have a body pillow `dividing' the bed? So easy to communicate with a few key people! Gary adds a tagline to his texts so last week all of his texts ended with `love you' and this week it's `you're hot'. Hopefully he removes the tagline when he texts other people! We took the kids to the park to play some baseball. It felt like summer! Part of win...

Talk Nerdy To Me: January 2015
http://www.talknerdytomeblog.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2015. One of the main purposes of this blog is to document my kid's lives. I just wanted to share some sweet moments with Nya from over the past couple of days. Being that my mom is no longer here on Earth, I savour my mother daughter moments with her that much more. Bedtime stories. Each of us with our baby. Thankful when she picks the short Dora books.}. I was braiding my nieces hair and thought `Why not try Nya's? Oh Nya Bear. So thankful for you, monkey. Thursday, January 29, 2015.

Talk Nerdy To Me: Kai's 9th Birthday Party
http://www.talknerdytomeblog.com/2015/08/kais-9th-birthday-party.html
Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Kai's 9th Birthday Party. Kai Bear had his 9th birthday party this past weekend. Last year we had an Amazing Race themed. One which he really enjoyed. This year, we had a little less time and energy so we had a low-key hockey party and everyone still had a lot of fun. I have to admit that birthday parties at his age are a little less exciting for me but he loves it and it was a great opportunity to get together with friends that he hasn't seen over the summer. Oh, and the bonus?
