Spotted Dog Turn: Want to see something gross?
http://spotteddogturn.blogspot.com/2009/01/want-to-see-something-gross.html
Looking for the happy balance between Calamity Jane and Martha Stewart. Saturday, January 03, 2009. Want to see something gross? I'm warning you, this isn't pretty. Over and over again. This photograph doesn't convey the full horror, since you can't see the blood all over his forehead, glasses, shirt, pants, legs, shoes, etc, but it is pretty close. Four year old boys are very helpful. Did all that blood come out of your nose? Hmm, maybe that one doesn't quite do it justice. Anyhow, I managed to call my ...

Spotted Dog Turn: September 2010
http://spotteddogturn.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Looking for the happy balance between Calamity Jane and Martha Stewart. Tuesday, September 21, 2010. Hi We're still here. Things are good, things are happy. The pie at Betty's is tasty. If you're ever on the MN North Shore, eat some pie. I've been talking with the kiddo's m o m. She was very nervous about communicating with me, but I think we're okay now. The kiddo has a sister that was born 7 months after TPR. I found that out and contacted Mom (for the first time) that day. Links to this post. You Coul...

Spotted Dog Turn: Outside, c. June 2006
http://spotteddogturn.blogspot.com/2009/01/outside-c-june-2006.html
Looking for the happy balance between Calamity Jane and Martha Stewart. Sunday, January 04, 2009. Outside, c. June 2006. I figured you guys deserve a kinder, gentler post after that last one, so I'll start talking about the gardening stuff. Lets start at the beginning:. Here's what my front and back yards looked like as we were pulling our homestudy materials together two and a half years ago. Oh, well. I should have known. Here's what I had to work with up there - cute house, the closest our builder off...

Spotted Dog Turn: Mom
http://spotteddogturn.blogspot.com/2009/01/mom.html
Looking for the happy balance between Calamity Jane and Martha Stewart. Saturday, January 17, 2009. Now that we know we have another 6-8 months here, it feels like it is time for me to decide whether I will get in touch with Huckle's. Mom and maternal grandparents. Hearing which the grandparents showed up to, but left halfway through. I feel very, very guilty about this. I want them to know that he is healthy, happy, safe, and loved. The big, big impediment is Huckle's. Huck's father is nearly 50 years o...

Spotted Dog Turn: July 2007
http://spotteddogturn.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Looking for the happy balance between Calamity Jane and Martha Stewart. Friday, July 27, 2007. Today, I decided to buckle down and find out the who/how/why/what of Huck's dad's murder conviction. It took a few hours to get anywhere, since I only knew the when- ish. But I did, and about thirty seconds after I found the victim's name, we'll call him Devon Davis, the phone rang. The man on the line said, "This is Devon Davis. Is The Hub there? So, silence on my end of the phone. I'm still shaking, though.

Spotted Dog Turn: Motherfricker
http://spotteddogturn.blogspot.com/2009/01/motherfricker.html
Looking for the happy balance between Calamity Jane and Martha Stewart. Thursday, January 15, 2009. But not until Summer. House goes on the market in May. We'll rent if it doesn't sell in time. But it should sell in time for the new school year. Our area has slowed down a bit, but home prices are still going up. We decided to move about a week ago. At first we were going to move to DC, but we could afford a 300 sf shack on the highway if Hubs wanted a less than 45 minute commute. And these are knitters!

Spotted Dog Turn: Lets hope I stay safe.
http://spotteddogturn.blogspot.com/2008/01/lets-hope-i-stay-safe.html
Looking for the happy balance between Calamity Jane and Martha Stewart. Wednesday, January 16, 2008. Lets hope I stay safe. Huckle: Mom, we can't break our legs. Maer: Nope, we don't want to, do we? H: If you break your leg, Daddy and I will be sad. M: Will you take me to the hospital? H: No, we'll get a new mommy. That sound you hear is me laughing with you, not at you, by the way. 3:40 PM, January 16, 2008. 4:56 PM, January 16, 2008. 8:43 PM, January 16, 2008. Maybe he thinks moms are like horses.

Spotted Dog Turn: Vital statistics
http://spotteddogturn.blogspot.com/2008/01/vital-statistics.html
Looking for the happy balance between Calamity Jane and Martha Stewart. Friday, January 11, 2008. In February 2005, Huckle weighed 29 pounds and was 34 inches tall. In November of 2006, Huckle weighed 36 pounds and was 36 inches tall. In December of 2007, Huckle weighed 45 pounds (winter clothes) and was 43 inches tall. I don't know how common it is, but I have seen it happen in non-foster kids. Did you know that Roland (aka "Hubby") did day care for three years? 2:43 PM, January 11, 2008. Yup Two of our...
