More Than a City in Australia: December 2011
http://morethanacityinaustralia.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
More Than a City in Australia. Friday, December 30, 2011. Not Too Sick to go to the Zoo. For the past few years, we have made it a point to go to the Houston Zoo for Christmas. This year, our Houston itinerary didn't leave room for a zoo trip, so I made sure we went to a. Zoo the week after. Because we waited, we got to go with the Robinsons, which was a nice bonus. The kids had such a great time together and Helen and Scott and Jeremy and I always enjoy the time spent together. Each kid made one, but so...

More Than a City in Australia: November 2011
http://morethanacityinaustralia.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
More Than a City in Australia. Sunday, November 27, 2011. Grandpa and Nana Nolen. After the long week in Houston for Thanksgiving, it was nice to come home. It was even nicer that some of the family came back with us. Grandpa and Nana Nolen and uncle Jonathan were all here for Black Friday and the Saturday after Thanksgiving. At home that evening, the guys cooked tamales (with a little bit of help from Sydney). It was a very short visit, all in all. The days in Houston were so busy and the time in Ge...

More Than a City in Australia: Raccoon is not the boss.
http://morethanacityinaustralia.blogspot.com/2012/04/raccoon-is-not-boss.html
More Than a City in Australia. Sunday, April 22, 2012. Raccoon is not the boss. Sydney is looking for her stuffed raccoon. Daddy comes in and says, "Where are you raccoon? Sydney, in a raccoon voice, "Don't worry about it. Sydney will find me.". Sydney, in her own voice, "Just keep searching Daddy. Raccoon's not the boss.". April 23, 2012 at 4:51 AM.

More Than a City in Australia: April 2012
http://morethanacityinaustralia.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
More Than a City in Australia. Monday, April 23, 2012. Notes on the Sermon. We have had Sydney in church with us since the Sunday she was baptized, November 19, 2006. at two weeks old. It hasn't always been easy. Some Sundays I question whether we are making the right choice. One Sunday a lady was quite rude to us. Most Sundays I have had to redirect many, many times to get the behavior I want. I love that she did this and cannot wait to see how her notes grow and change as she does. Labels: St. Johns.

More Than a City in Australia: He is Risen
http://morethanacityinaustralia.blogspot.com/2012/04/he-is-risen.html
More Than a City in Australia. Sunday, April 8, 2012. He is Risen, Indeed! I love Easter. I love sharing the message of the risen Christ with my kids. I love sharing the fellowship of the holiday with my friends. We started Easter Sunday at the 8:30 service. I had taken the kids up to St. John's for Eater pictures over Spring Break so I wouldn't have to worry about it on Easter Sunday. I thought the pictures came out really well and was very proud of both children. The kids loved them! The adults alterna...

More Than a City in Australia: March 2012

More Than a City in Australia. Monday, March 19, 2012. Springing in the Backyard. Yesterday was official "Springing in the Backyard" day. It was difficult to get pictures of Sydney's involvement. She did help. sporadically. She helped me unload the car and was wonderful about checking on me every so often and getting me more water. She painted for about ten minutes. She offered many words of encouragement. But I found this lego house on the coffee table. her first ever solo home build. Back at the house,...

More Than a City in Australia: January 2012
http://morethanacityinaustralia.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
More Than a City in Australia. Tuesday, January 31, 2012. What Rhymes with Goldilocks? Chicken pox, of course! Sydney and John have "breakthrough varicella" which is fancy talk for "chicken pox even though they got the vaccine.". What does breakthrough varicella look like? It looks like this. Either way, both kids are home from daycare for the rest of the week and phone calls and e-mails have been placed to anyone we have knowingly been in contact with in the last week and a half. What MLK Day Means to Me.

More Than a City in Australia: The Earning Potential of Ivory
http://morethanacityinaustralia.blogspot.com/2012/04/earning-potential-of-ivory.html
More Than a City in Australia. Wednesday, April 11, 2012. The Earning Potential of Ivory. Over a month ago, Sydney first noticed that she had a loose tooth. She was very sensitive about the idea of pulling it, so we had a lot of time to decide some things. We knew we weren't going to do the whole Tooth Fairy thing, but even as Sydney admitted that she thought the Tooth Fairy probably wasn't real, she did ask if she would still get money like her friends. Would she, indeed? What does it mean to lose teeth?

More Than a City in Australia: February 2012
http://morethanacityinaustralia.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
More Than a City in Australia. Sunday, February 26, 2012. On Sunday we went to the Ballet Austin's second kids' performance. We had gone to Peter and the Wolf. In the fall and we all loved it, so we felt pretty sure that we would like this one as well. The grand finale, though, wasn't the victory over the witch, or even the children's homecoming. It was the father repairing the vacuum cleaner. Very funny. Very silly. Very German. And very kid friendly. Sunday, February 12, 2012. Two Sundays ago, on Janua...
