Life in the Vast Lane: our little football fan
http://skaffs.blogspot.com/2011/10/our-little-football-fan.html
Wednesday, October 5, 2011. Our little football fan. Ella got her first taste of live football last weekend! It was an absolutely beautiful day, just a little windy. My company sponsors NDSU athletics, and we tailgate at all the home football games. Saturday was homecoming, and we couldn't find anyone to watch Ella - so we just brought her with! She lasted until about half way through the third quarter and then she was ready to go home; we'd barely left the parking lot and she was asleep.

Life in the Vast Lane: May 2010
http://skaffs.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 19, 2010. I can't hardly believe it, but my niece Krispen turned two on May 12th! We all went down to Excelsior this past weekend and had a little birthday party for her. She definitely got the idea that the party was for her - and that the presents were all for her! She just went from one bag to the next, pulling each item out, looking at it, and moving on to the next! It was stinking hilarious! Here's a few photos:. Thursday, May 13, 2010. We didn't luck out with a beautiful sunny 70 deg...

Life in the Vast Lane: socks
http://skaffs.blogspot.com/2011/08/socks.html
Wednesday, August 31, 2011. Yesterday was a little rainy and a little cool, and Ella has been fighting a cough. So good mother that I am, I decided she needed to wear socks. Ella hasn't worn socks since May - meaning half her life has now gone by without them. So when I put them on her last night to go out for pizza with Nate's grandma, they were a completely new thing to her! They were like a brand new toy. September 26, 2011 at 4:29 PM.

Life in the Vast Lane: January 2010
http://skaffs.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 28, 2010. Lately I have been more interested in reading other people's blogs than writing my own blog. I sometimes get so caught up in admiring others creativity that its hard for me to be creative myself. As I mentioned, my little brother was recently home on leave from Iraq. I was talking to him last week (when he surprised me with a phone call on my birthday! Years ago. He's anxious to get home and get back to his life. And yet, his life has not. I find this to be a good reminder for...

Life in the Vast Lane: not my favorite store
http://skaffs.blogspot.com/2011/04/not-my-favorite-store.html
Tuesday, April 19, 2011. Not my favorite store. To say that Walmart is not my favorite store is, well, an understatement. This is not a political statement, it’s just true. I try so hard to have a patient open mind, but I’m usually frustrated before I even find a parking spot. There are just so, so many people. And they all have their own pace, which usually doesn’t make much sense to me. Ella didn’t really agree with my choice to stand in line. So there we stood in line, rocking the cart back ...He quic...

Life in the Vast Lane: April 2011
http://skaffs.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 28, 2011. Whoa, Ella is 5 months old. That means I’ve been a mom for five months! And you know what? It’s starting to feel a little more normal. Or at least, I’m starting to get used to this “new” normal. The past five months have been the hardest transition of my life. And it’s been wonderful. I still find myself questioning every thing. But I’m not feeling so much like my life is a wagon rolling out of control. Ella has officially discovered her thumb! Ella is becoming more and more ani...

Life in the Vast Lane: 10 months
http://skaffs.blogspot.com/2011/10/10-months.html
Friday, October 7, 2011. Ella is crawling now. She started by 'scootching' (ie pulling with her fingers and pushing with her toes) around 8 months, then it progressed to the army crawl, and now full on crawling. Her favorite motivation is all her daddy's cords, remotes and cell phones! Ella's newest tricks include clapping and giving high fives. Neither of which she likes to do on command. But she is so proud of herself when she claps. She just grins from ear to ear with her new cheesy grin. But she is j...

Life in the Vast Lane: weekend at the farm
http://skaffs.blogspot.com/2011/08/weekend-at-farm.html
Monday, August 29, 2011. Weekend at the farm. Ella and I spent the weekend at my parents farm, helping with wedding projects and enjoying the beautiful weather. There is lots to do outside at the farm. Like going for walks,. Checking out the apple trees, meeting the dog, watching the horses,. And of course swinging with grandpa and grandma. We love all the fresh produce from grandma's garden: corn on the cob,. Green beans, peppers, potatoes and steak on the grill! Grandma has great toys too!
