Erratic Bliss: Back on the horse!
http://thevelander4.blogspot.com/2012/11/back-on-horse.html
Thursday, November 29, 2012. Back on the horse! I have not blogged in so long. Our lives are full of adventure and there is constantly something to blog about. When I think that I need to blog about something, I say to myself, "Dang! I haven't blogged in months and I am so behind that I can't possibly start now" My mom and mother in law are hoping for these updates.I get emails from people in the blogging world what is going on and where have I been? He ate so much his stomach hurt. Perfect. The next day...

Erratic Bliss: September 2010
http://thevelander4.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 22, 2010. Monday, September 6, 2010. An added to treat to the party! At our monthly get together with Na and Kristin, Naomi brought face paint. What a great idea! That woman is such a hoot! Each and every child was soooo. Excited to get their face painted and even more excited to be able to "pick" what they wanted to be. Chloe was a kitty cat. Maggie was a butterfly. And Gav, well he was a werewolf. Even Austin took part! How cool is this kid, anyway? And the finished product!

Erratic Bliss: October 2010
http://thevelander4.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 29, 2010. Gavin's First HUGE Boo-Boo! We have a great bedtime routine. One that I am very proud of. We have bedtime snack and bath between 7-7:30. Then the kids get to watch one show at 7:30. 8:00 we brush our teeth, read our stories and lights out by 8:30. It's a routine that usually goes quite smoothly. Wednesday night was anything but smooth, simple, and quiet. I am really hurt! I turned to Austin and said, "We are going to Urgent Care. The girls need to go to bed at 8".". The MD walke...

Erratic Bliss: November 2010
http://thevelander4.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 27, 2010. I was so sad that I was unable to spend Thanksgiving with not one single family member! I loath that I have to miss out on family stuff because of work. I love what I do and hospital nursing is my "thing". I wouldn't have it any other way. But this time of year, those few days matter to me. I usually take the holidays in stride. Because. Not this year. Both sides decided to have Thanksgiving dinner ON. Thanksgiving Day this year. I was throwing this big old pitty. Yup, it's t...

Erratic Bliss: Maggie's First Play Date
http://thevelander4.blogspot.com/2011/11/maggies-first-play-date.html
Monday, November 14, 2011. Maggie's First Play Date. Maggie has a best friend we call Katie Bug. She is the cutest little ray of sunshine. Katie Bug and Maggie have been in daycare together for the past three years. They are also in dance together. Katie Bug came to Maggie and Molly's Fifth Birthday Bash (which I. Have to blog about as it was a fantastic day! It's a big deal when you are only 5. You know, to leave your mama's side and do something all by yourself. You will be there to pick me up, right?

Living for the Lord in 2011: Suffering
http://livingforthelord2011.blogspot.com/2011/04/suffering.html
Living for the Lord in 2011. The journey of my Catholic soul as I seek to listen to and live for my Lord Jesus (rather than myself). Friday, April 22, 2011. I am lousy at suffering. But the Lord is calling me to mental suffering right now, the suffering of uncertainty about whether we can reach our dear baby before his counrty shuts down to international adoptions sometime in June. A dear friend emailed me today and sent me these wise and comforting words:. How did Mary endure the passion of Christ?

Erratic Bliss: What's in a name?
http://thevelander4.blogspot.com/2011/11/whats-in-name.html
Thursday, November 10, 2011. What's in a name? When I started this blog a few years ago, I struggled with what to name it. I settled for "Four Wonders of Life" because my kids are really truly my greatest joy and wonder. But the name just doesn't fit. I am a busy woman! I work as nurse, odd hours and weekends. I have a teenager, a school-ager, and two preschoolers. Go ahead and throw in an extra chromosome into the mix for good measure. Seriously, I live a "crazy life". Great choice, Tracy. :-). And boy ...
