like pearls on a string: Fiona | 4 months
http://jennadotterer.blogspot.com/2015/07/fiona-4-months.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Here we are, at four months already! Four and a half, but we round down around here.). Fiona has blossomed this month. So many new things, so much sweetness! She has this adorable habit of chewing on her toes- both feet up, bent perfectly in half. Crazy flexible girl. She's rolling over, mostly from back to stomach, but the other way too. Some day, I will find an envelope marked "Fiona's hair" and wonder why in the world I kept it. Don't mind the spit up. She graduated from slee...

like pearls on a string: Alex + Carmen come again
http://jennadotterer.blogspot.com/2015/07/alex-carmen-come-again.html
Tuesday, July 14, 2015. Alex Carmen come again. The highlight of Alex and Carmen's visit was seeing these two cuties together. Pierce is older by six weeks, so he was a little bit of a bully, but Fee handled him pulling her hair pretty well. It's so sweet to be in this stage with my brother and my friend. I didn't worry when Fee was being whiny or about dragging a baby along- they were right there with me! Both babies are little peanuts for their age; must be the shared 7/8 genetics, eh;)? Gradient Kits ...

Wednesday, January 1, 2014. Year in review - 2013. 2013 flew by.literally. So much happened.so much changed.so much stayed the same. January brought another semester of school - teaching me an incredible amount about Mental health and general med-surg information. It wasn't one of my most favorite semesters. The first weekend of May a group of girls and I traveled to Taylor, MO for a little get-away. It was interesting keeping my engagement quiet with a few of the girls knowing about it and a few not...

Tuesday, August 26, 2014. Tory, wendy, and boys. Having Tory, Wendy, and co. here was just fun. We played games nearly every night, went whitewater rafting, hung out at the farm, ate out. My nephews loved Oregon: whether it was due to the lack of chores, Riley, or the rafting, I'm not sure. Little Simon asked, "Mom, can we move out here? We drove to Butte Creek Falls with Riley and let the boys have some fun. It's not a very strenuous or long climb, i.e. perfect for them. Then we went over to Eastern Ore...

Thursday, April 30, 2015. Shara, Finn, Wendy. There's nothing quite like sisters. Sisters show up all wearing the same shoes. Even though we were missing one, we had a blast, the three of us. Just for fun: who's the tallest? Maybe a few years of child-rearing will diminish me too.). My sisters made sure Fee was held 24/7. Which made for some rather needy days after they went back home! But so worth it; I loved seeing my sisters hold my little one after years (13 of them! Fiona will be no where. Low-key a...

Monday, October 13, 2014. Apple cider: farm life update no. 4. Is there anything that epitomizes fall better than a good ol' apple cider making? The Sinn's have no lack of apple trees (as they have no lack of anything growable in The Valley) and they have a charming propensity towards self-sustainability. Everyone chips in. Maybe not for the entire process, but at some point or another, they'll all wander by and turn the crank for a bit. This also counts as farm life update no. 4, btw. Life has slowed do...

http://jennadotterer.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 25, 2015. And oh my, is she sweet. Fiona Kathryn has stolen our hearts shamelessly. I feel unworthy to be her mother, to be the one whose voice can calm her, to be the one she loves to snuggle into. We have been so blessed by her already. She was born March 18 at 4:03 pm. She weighed 6#7oz and was 20.5 inches long. She is healthy and loved beyond words! I have a feeling I know who will be dominating my posts from hereafter:). Monday, March 16, 2015. To have this view every day." As f...

Monday, August 24, 2015. Old friends, new places. An old high school friend came to visit us recently. She'd never been to the West Coast. So we showed her a classic PNW time, Sinn-style: a little coast, a little flowers, a little ethnic food, and lot of garden freshness on the farm. We spent a day at Newport, strolling the boardwalk, watching the fishmongers, window shopping. I took her to see a light house: all we did was see it, because it was so windy and foggy. You can just barely. We also went to a...

http://jennadotterer.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 18, 2014. In everything give thanks. Scattered. That's how I feel lately. But content. Very content and happy. I bounce from one project to the next, one event to the next, one idea to another. When I'm not at work, I feel like all I've been doing is making pretty things. Which makes me VERY happy. With Christmas around the corner, in retail circles anyway, (good grief, give me Thanksgiving first! Just a photo of my work space to keep it real. It's been exciting to dream about though...
