All Because Two People Fell in Love: August 2013
http://lj-allbecausetwopeoplefellinlove.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
All Because Two People Fell in Love. Saturday, August 31, 2013. Museum of Science and Industry. Today was a long, but super-fun day at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. With the weather not wanting to cooperate this Labor Day Weekend, we decided to do a little something special indoors. On the way up this morning, we ran into a major rainstorm! It was raining so hard, we were lucky to drive 40 mph! So thankful that we moved through it, because it was a little scary! This was a really neat th...

All Because Two People Fell in Love. Tuesday, July 30, 2013. I recently noticed that I just passed the 1000 mark on blog posts! This picture is from my very first post. It was taken at VBS that summer. Livie was just a 2 yr old. Madie was 7 and Noah was 5. Look how little they are! Seems like such a long time ago. It's gone by so quickly. Well, heck, THAT I could do! That was quite an experience for all of us and I'm thankful that he is now staying a lot closer to home. :-). It was a long journey to get ...

All Because Two People Fell in Love. Thursday, July 31, 2014. The first thing they got to dissect was a cow eyeball. Livie had to leave at some point, because the smell got to her. But, Noah LOVED it! He didn't even wear gloves when he was dissecting it. When we were driving home that day, he said, "I need to wash my hands again. I still have cow iris on them.". Yeah. I insisted on gloves after that! The crafts they made that day were brain hats (love it! I want it for my classroom too! How did she do it?

All Because Two People Fell in Love: September 2013

All Because Two People Fell in Love. Monday, September 30, 2013. It's that time of year again - apple pickin' time! For the past 4 yrs, with a year off in there somewhere, we have gone to the apple orchard. It's something we look forward to each year and we had a BEAUTIFUL day today when we went. Our group size isn't growing, but the kids themselves sure are! And, I do believe they get goofier each time we go. The girls loved filling their bags and finding all the yummy apples to eat. She's such a tween!

All Because Two People Fell in Love. Sunday, June 22, 2014. Wednesday, after everything was over, we woke up to coffee and donuts from Dunkin' Donuts, graciously provided by my cousins Karen and Amy. They got that for us, so we could enjoy them while we sat around and read the cards from the Memory Tree we created. The kids took turns taking them off and reading them. We adults did too, once we realized how slowly the kids were doing it! He also took this picture of Dad with his buddy Sherm. We had a...

All Because Two People Fell in Love: December 2013

All Because Two People Fell in Love. Thursday, December 26, 2013. On Christmas Eve we did our normal, yearly activities, starting with baking cookies for Santa. I basically make and bake the cookies and let the kids go to town on the decorating. I'm not fancy enough to actually make cut-outs, so they have to settle for round cookies, but that just means they have more room to pile on the icing and candies, right? Tater wanted it. ;-). Sometime that night, it turned into Christmas Day and Santa paid a vis...

All Because Two People Fell in Love. Sunday, April 27, 2014. Livie LOVES helping me in class. She has been asking all year to help, but with her dance class falling on the same night and time as my evening class, she's not been able to go. Well, this week was Spring Break for dance, so she got to come with me and she was a GREAT helper! The kids just flocked to her and she played with them a lot. They played in the sandbox together with her and would run around with her. It was really cute! She joined us...

All Because Two People Fell in Love. Friday, May 29, 2015. So, my Madie Moo just graduated 8th grade last night! Where has the time gone? Now, being this is my first experience with 8th grade graduation, I wasn't really sure of the "protocols". But, we seemed to manage just fine. :-) We got Madie a pretty dress, new shoes, etc. and got her hair done for this special day. She even wore make-up and got her eyebrows waxed! But, of course, she had to throw in a little nerd too while she was at it. ;-). I tol...

All Because Two People Fell in Love. Friday, May 30, 2014. This is an honest look at the process of losing a parent. Some things described might be hard to read. Mom and her youngest granddaughter, Avery. To take her, they immediately admitted her. She was having a stroke. The next time I talked to her, her voice was changed. She grumbled her words. She had lost all use of her right arm and she walked with a cane, because of the loss of mobility and feeling in her leg. Tuesday, May 20, 2014. Look at this...
