Buffaloes and Butterfly Wings: Alan's Story, Part 1
http://buffaloesandbutterflywings.blogspot.com/2008/11/alans-story-part-1.html
2010 - 2011 Curriculum. 2012 - 2013 Curriculum. Tuesday, December 30, 2008. Alan's Story, Part 1. One year ago today Alan received a liver transplant. For him, it was the beginning of a second chance at life. But it wasn't the beginning of Alan's story. I have been working on this post for a while and I thought today would be an appropriate day to share it. Alan was born in November 2006. He cried. A lot. The doctor explained some of the results had come back abnormal, which could point to some "plumbing...

Buffaloes and Butterfly Wings: May 2014
http://buffaloesandbutterflywings.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
2010 - 2011 Curriculum. 2012 - 2013 Curriculum. Wednesday, May 21, 2014. I love my girl. I hate to admit it, but one of my worst pregnancy symptoms is always IR-RIT-TI-BIL-I-TY. I'm thankful that it has seemed much better so far this time around. But Sunday.wow.Sunday I was grouchy all over the place! Usually, if I take a nap (pregnant or not), I run a great risk of waking up grumpy from it. So I often skip them. All those giggle and ice cream bites later the grumpies I'd fought all day were gone for good.

Buffaloes and Butterfly Wings: October 2014
http://buffaloesandbutterflywings.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
2010 - 2011 Curriculum. 2012 - 2013 Curriculum. Tuesday, October 14, 2014. The wannabe runaway that didn't get very far. My kids love to hear stories about when I was a little girl. They like when I can remember something they've never heard before, but they also like hearing the same stories over and over again. One of their favorites is the time I was going to run away. I quickly shoved the suitcase under the bed and jumped back under the covers. And I fell asleep. Of course, it only took a moment for ...

2010 - 2011 Curriculum. 2012 - 2013 Curriculum. Tuesday, April 29, 2014. Tuesday, April 29. I think Tuesday just might be my new favorite day of the week. Monday is getting back into the swing of things and recovering from the weekend. But by Tuesday we've found our groove again and can roll through the day! Until we interrupt again on Wednesday for storytime at the library.) ;). Which made a fine nacho topping for lunch today. This boy loves the vacuum! He didn't want to let go! After we finally got eve...

Buffaloes and Butterfly Wings: Monday, Monday
http://buffaloesandbutterflywings.blogspot.com/2015/03/monday-monday.html
2010 - 2011 Curriculum. 2012 - 2013 Curriculum. Monday, March 30, 2015. After a week of sick kids, I gave in to the exhaustion and gave up on getting up to an alarm for a week. Then we spent a weekend traveling. So today was the day that I was gonna get back to it. ButI didn't. And I don't regret it one bit. Early rising is highly overrated. ;). This is the little face I woke up to this morning. First we looked at a few bird books, looking at pictures of some common birds and their nests. Long before the...

Buffaloes and Butterfly Wings: Easter Outtakes
http://buffaloesandbutterflywings.blogspot.com/2015/04/easter-outtakes.html
2010 - 2011 Curriculum. 2012 - 2013 Curriculum. Sunday, April 5, 2015. It was raining. And cold. We were right on time. Not late, not early. So we did pictures in our living room when we got home. Ever tried getting six kids to look in the same direction? Much less look pleasant. We finally got a good one. But here are all the ones it took to get there. You're welcome. :). Everyone was feeling great. Not sure what's going on with all the hands. Admire it. (And Levi is finally not crying). Life in the herd.

Buffaloes and Butterfly Wings: Alan's Story, Part 4
http://buffaloesandbutterflywings.blogspot.com/2009/01/alans-story-part-4.html
2010 - 2011 Curriculum. 2012 - 2013 Curriculum. Sunday, January 11, 2009. Alan's Story, Part 4. My apologies in advance, friends: this post is very long. But it wraps up a series I thought I could tell in 3 parts, and refuse to turn it into 5! When we returned home on Feb 14, 2008, Alan was 7 weeks post transplant. We knew life with a transplant would come with its own set of issues, but we felt relieved that we had left the roller-coaster of liver disease behind us. Our biggest project was training Alan...

2010 - 2011 Curriculum. 2012 - 2013 Curriculum. Tuesday, December 9, 2014. Tuesday, December 9. Away in a Manger - again. Continuing on yesterday's manger theme, today we made a handprint manger craft. While waiting on the handprints before we could add baby Jesus, we sang Away in a Manger, adding in quite a few ASL signs and motions. Sweet and simple today! No pics of the actual crafting.it was pretty hands-on for me! Links to this post. Monday, December 8, 2014. Monday, December 8. Away In a Manger!
