Sunday, January 25, 2009. Thanks to John for the gifts of a plane ticket and 2 inauguration tix (which were thanks to his friend Andy Speth who is chief of staff for Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin!

The icing on the cake was being able to stay with my dear friends Denise and Bill Sisson, who live just across the river in Arlington. Hoards exiting the metro, headed for the concert.

Friday, March 19, 2010. My First Week as a SAHM. SAHM=Stay at Home Mom, for those who weren't familiar with that acronym. :). March 11 was the kids' last official day at Marilyn and Jerry's (of course I was quite emotional for that too),. And March 15 started my first official week as a SAHM. It went amazingly well! Here is a rundown:. 3/17: St. Patty's Day! Afterwards, we had a dinner which was as green as it could possibly be. Posted by John and Lisa Hofmeister. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Hofmeister Haus: Rocky Mountain High
http://hofmeistersonline.blogspot.com/2009/11/rocky-mountain-high.html
Sunday, November 01, 2009. Our kids have fallen in love with this John Denver song; they request it over and over again in the car, and I'll catch Anne Peyton in particular humming the lyrics. In the car, she belts out the refrain; I'll look back and see her mouth wide open! I love it too, so here are the lyrics:. He was born in the summer of his 27th year,. Coming home to a place he'd never been before. He left yesterday behind him,. You might say he was born again,. When he first came to the mountains.

Conversation and all is going well until she opens her clenched fist, looks down, and sees the lonely lizard tail. Hell breaks loose again. She is impossible during dinner. Her expression changes instantly: mouth opens wide; eyes open wide. A look of sheer excitement. She joyfully states, "Mommy! I want to buy TWO Lizzies at the store! Lis, what a lovely recounting!

Monday, February 02, 2009. Jack and the Beanstalk. I really do my best to tell stories to the kids, but sometimes I just don't have it in me (I wish I came by it more naturally! I'm not sure why I didn't think of this before, but I got some help from the library last week. We checked out an audiorecording of a man telling some of the classic fairytales, including Jack and the Beanstalk. We listened to that one on the way to the zoo today (Mondays: my day off with the kids-yay! I enjoyed my conversation w...

The Hofmeister Haus: Preschool Beginnings
http://hofmeistersonline.blogspot.com/2009/08/preschool-beginnings.html
Tuesday, August 25, 2009. A shopper, I am not. And while I often fool myself into thinking that shopping with the kids could be fun, historically it has NOT been! Picky, distracted, unreasonable.these are just a few of the words that describe our children when it comes to shopping and clothes! Our first stop was my favorite secondhand kids' store: Once Upon a Child. We dove into the size 10 shoe bin and she actually LIKED the first pair of shoes she tried on! She went to bed telling me she's "ess-cited" ...

Today while Tombo was napping and John was at the Bronco game with Casey, Becky and I were treated to a special performance by the ultimate Mistress of Ceremonies, Anne Peyton Hofmeister.
