Wednesday, September 2, 2009. Declan becomes a model. I made this tutu last week for a friends daughter. Since I needed to make sure it would fit and she wasn't here, Declan was nice enough to try it on for me :) I thought he looked adorable, he wasn't so sure! Hence the soother in the pictures).

http://thevancooks.blogspot.com/2010/02/talking.html
Tuesday, February 23, 2010. For some reason, last night when I went to bed Declan was still awake. I could hear him in his room and I think he was practicing his new words. It went something like this. No, no, nooooooo,nononono. uh-oh, uh - oh? No, no, no, wow. wooooow. car? Car no. nono nnnno. no? He doesn't have very many words but he sure puts his heart into the ones he has! And becasue it has been so long here is a video of him.( sorry it is sideways). Or was he talking in his sleep?

So I've Been Thinking...: May 2014
http://dorothysthoughts.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
So I've Been Thinking. Friday, 30 May 2014. I have mixed feelings about competition. Links to this post. Sunday, 18 May 2014. Two Sundays ago I was with my family in Tampa, boarding a cruise ship, leaving port, starting a wonderful vacation. It was good to be with my family and especially to hang out with my mum on Mother's Day. I miss them all a lot since they're so far away. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

So I've Been Thinking...: I am Not a Vegetarian
http://dorothysthoughts.blogspot.com/2015/03/i-am-not-vegetarian.html
So I've Been Thinking. Saturday, 7 March 2015. I am Not a Vegetarian. One Sunday I was talking with my class about the idea of giving up meat if it caused a fellow believer to sin. They were horrified at the very thought. I love that class. One of them argued that squirrels are fruit because we get them from trees. It was an interesting thought (and yes, he has shot and eaten a squirrel). Anyway, I bring you my justification for not killing vegetables:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

So I've Been Thinking. Thursday, 24 July 2014. What I Need to Remember. Links to this post. Labels: dealing with myself. Saturday, 19 July 2014. Today is not insanely hot and I'm not working, a rare combination in the summer. I'm taking advantage of this mix to make muffins. I don't often cook in the summer because the oven heats up my apartment too much, so today is nice. For your cooking pleasure, I present my banana muffin recipe:. 1 tsp baking soda. 1 1/2 cup flour. Links to this post. This is the fi...

So I've Been Thinking. Thursday, 26 June 2014. Gearing up for Summer. School is out today or tomorrow depending on the school. The students are excited and the teachers are excited and I'm bracing myself for summer. Right now we're waiting to see what summer will bring. Will it stay somewhat quiet, or is everyone waiting until the weekend to start calling? Links to this post. Sunday, 15 June 2014. A couple of my boys had most of the worksheets with them (they came prepared this year). They weren't ve...

So I've Been Thinking. Wednesday, 31 December 2014. Books of 2014 Part 1: Fiction. In going through the books I read in 2014, I realized that I didn't read a lot of fiction (at least not compared to non-fiction). I think there were more books, but they were re-reads, and I only count those if it's been many years between readings. And a lot of the re-reading was kid's stuff that I read to relax. Still, based on my records, here are my favourites for the year:. 1 Brandon Sanderson: Elantris. This is my so...

So I've Been Thinking. Monday, 13 October 2014. A Lighter Thanksgiving Song. Good luck getting this one out of your head. Links to this post. This year I am thankful for. My family. The whole lot of them, from the smallest to the oldest. We don't always understand one another because we can be very different, but happily love does not require complete understanding. I don't love anyone more than my family, even the ones I haven't met. Knowing that for the price of a bowl of carrots, peeled and cut, I get...

So I've Been Thinking...: January 2015
http://dorothysthoughts.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
So I've Been Thinking. Tuesday, 6 January 2015. Thoughts at the Beginning of a New Year. I don't have any New Year's resolutions this year. They always seem so pointless to me: this year I'm going to change everything and be wonderful and do everything perfectly! No I'm not. I'm going to be the same person I already am. Of course I'll change; we all do, and usually it's good. I'm just not going to set up some unrealistic expectations and then feel guilty when I don't live up to them. Links to this post.
