Going Toblogganing: Fall Fun
http://going-toblogganing.blogspot.com/2010/10/fall-fun.html
October 23, 2010. Fall is usually a pretty short season in Minnesota. There's about a week of sweatshirts and then the parkas come out. This year, though, we've enjoyed a summery and sunny October (last year it snowed in early October). We've been trying to get outside when we can, and in October, that means leaf jumping. Note Hayden's flip-flops and shorts. Not usual leaf-jumping attire, but we don't mind. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Children's Classic Book Art of the Day. Cool stuff for kids.

Going Toblogganing: And then we were five...
http://going-toblogganing.blogspot.com/2011/02/and-then-we-were-five.html
February 9, 2011. And then we were five. On Dec 9th, we welcomed little Felix into the world. Felix's arrival was so unlikely on so many levels that I'm still in a state of happy shock, 2 months after his birth. I had a complication-free c-section. No blood transfusions, no ICU. No anemia. 8 units of specially ordered blood sat unused in the blood bank. And despite having surgery, this was my shortest hospital stay. And Felix- mellow, healthy, happy. No jaundice, so no bili-bed. Cool stuff for kids.

Going Toblogganing: Punkin' Patch
http://going-toblogganing.blogspot.com/2011/09/punkin-patch.html
September 27, 2011. It had been awhile since we've done anything as a family. Felix is a horrific sleeper at times, and as a result, is in bed many nights by 6:30 pm. So.we stay in a lot. However, on Sunday, we took advantage of a rare good nap day and headed to the pumpkin patch. It's a pretty no-frills pumpkin patch. No hay rides or corn mazes- just pumpkin vines, tiny apple trees, and a few pick-your-own berries. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Children's Classic Book Art of the Day. Research has ...

Going Toblogganing: Front Yard Nature
http://going-toblogganing.blogspot.com/2010/04/front-yard-nature.html
April 14, 2010. Sitting in my office on a drizzly afternoon, I noticed 2 large woodpeckers hopping around the front yard. I've certainly heard them a lot recently, but haven't seen any hanging around. They let me watch for a few minutes before they flew away, looking for more bugs I suppose. June 9, 2010 at 9:18 AM.

Going Toblogganing: A Scary Start to the New Year
http://going-toblogganing.blogspot.com/2011/03/scary-start-to-new-year.html
March 8, 2011. A Scary Start to the New Year. As often happens in cold climates in the winter, we got sick. Hayden had a cough, Marlo had a runny nose. I got congested, and so did baby Felix. On New Year's Eve, I kept Felix in bed with me overnight. His cough sounded strange, and all of my Mom/Batman senses were in high alert. As I lay there unable to sleep, I resolved to take him back to Urgent Care first thing in the morning. We were taken back immediately at the ER, and Felix was put in a warmer and g...

Going Toblogganing: Back to School
http://going-toblogganing.blogspot.com/2010/09/back-to-school.html
September 28, 2010. Hayden is now officially a 1st grader. He was beyond excited to go back to school, but a little disappointed not to be in the same class as some of his friends (there are SIX first grade classes! As we walked to the bus stop, he said that it felt just like going to kindergarten. But it seems he has adjusted, and now his days are "great" instead of just "ok! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Going Toblogganing: January 2012
http://going-toblogganing.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
January 10, 2012. New baby is now a non-toddling toddler. Felix is one. Well, 13 months actually, by the time I got around to writing this. What a year. ER visits, epic snowfalls. Sleeplessness. And all of it punctuated by our happy son, changing daily. Happy birthday, buddy! Our loose theme for his party was a circus train. Seemed an apt metaphor for our daily lives! Chaotic, wild, but fun.

Going Toblogganing: Happy 2nd Birthday, Marlo!
http://going-toblogganing.blogspot.com/2010/05/happy-2nd-birthday-marlo.html
May 31, 2010. Happy 2nd Birthday, Marlo! Marlo's 2nd birthday was low key, but a lot of fun. Cupcakes, presents, and outside time.about everything a new 2 year old could want. She loved all of her presents, including the playhouse from me and Ben. Hayden was a helpful gift assistant. It's been an eventful year. She has progressed from saying a handful of words, mostly about the dog (Dextoor! June 17, 2010 at 8:58 PM. Oh my I think I checked creak house, but not this one. She is so cute! Cool stuff for ki...
