This Is How We Know What Love Is: September 2013
http://bollingerclan.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
This Is How We Know What Love Is. Friday, September 27, 2013. What's in a Name? Are powerful and carry meaning, and thus names denote an essence of character or purpose for each of God's people. He chose them before time began. They are kind of a big deal . In fact, if we ever have another boy, God has already given us both a name for him as well. But when we found out that we were having a girl this time, we were at a TOTAL loss about a name! My heart leaped as I called to Jake. And immediately started ...

This Is How We Know What Love Is. Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Who Is Like God? It's seriously a sad, sad fact that the last blog I wrote was when Abri was a newborn. But I'll spare you the first paragraph of remorse with which most of my blogs start, because we have something SUPER AMAZING to share with you! The Bollinger family will officially become a family of * 6* on/around November 17th, 2015! PS The kids are REALLY into Dumbo right now ;). I mean, how is that even possible? 2-3 DAYS after conception?

This Is How We Know What Love Is: Happy Hanukkah!
http://bollingerclan.blogspot.com/2012/12/happy-hanukkah.html
This Is How We Know What Love Is. Friday, December 7, 2012. So, even though God didn't explicitly ordain this particular holiday in the Bible (like Passover, for instance), Jesus Himself made it clear that it was worth celebrating! Instead of going into all the details about what it is and why our family celebrates it, I thought it would be helpful to link to my wonderful friend Jenn's blog, because she does such a brilliant job of explaining it all! So here you have it! Or "everything" (Yiddish). Th...

This Is How We Know What Love Is. Friday, March 28, 2014. Like all my pregnancies, I started experiencing uncomfortable contractions between 17 and 20 weeks. But after one night in the ER at 28 weeks, we learned that I was already dilated to 2cm! Oxygen is pretty important. Husbands, that's who. I've waited 3 times to be able to labor in a tub! I kept waiting to feel the "transition" feelings, knowing that I was at least 7cm, but I still felt like I was in early labor. Not only that, but my contracti...

This Is How We Know What Love Is: May 2012

This Is How We Know What Love Is. Wednesday, May 9, 2012. There is so much to talk about with Eden's story. Sarah has covered much of the prelude with her last blog, but so much has also happened in the past month! I could go on about the three weeks between starting my new job and Eden's birth, but I think that would take a whole blog post all on its own. And this blog is about how Eden arrived. Sarah asked, "Am I ten? What a blessing this whole experience has been. A few minutes old and eating well!

This Is How We Know What Love Is: The Best Kinds of Stories
http://bollingerclan.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-best-kinds-of-stories.html
This Is How We Know What Love Is. Thursday, September 5, 2013. The Best Kinds of Stories. Even in just one area, but we still had our doubts and were prepared for the "less than" ideal. Of these developmental areas! Then, as they each went around the room to discuss their findings, I learned that although Eli was not significantly delayed in any one area (which is one method of qualifying), he had enough very mild delays in enough areas that he DOES in fact qualify for preschool! Now to him who is able.

This Is How We Know What Love Is. Tuesday, January 22, 2013. 9 Months by A Nerdy Parent. I think there must be some exponential equation you can apply to figure out the speed (s) at which your children seem to grow as a factor of n (n = number of children you have), while also taking into account that particular child's tendencies for fast development (d).which is also often impacted by their birth order (denoted by n). S = x n n[sum(d)]. Some other more recent mad skillz:. Emergence of object permanence.

This Is How We Know What Love Is: June 2013

This Is How We Know What Love Is. Sunday, June 23, 2013. Since our last post, we celebrated Eden's first birthday and officially watched her move from baby to toddler-hood before our eyes. In fact, I'm not even sure when it happened because she is SO stinkin' fast at everything she does. Eli is making progress with his speech, and is finally starting to initiate 2-3 word sentences to describe what he wants. He also loves to tell Grandma/Grandpa/Meme/Papa, "I wuv you! YAY for such a patriotic, supportive ...

This Is How We Know What Love Is. Tuesday, June 19, 2012. A while back on Facebook, I shared a link about one mom's parenting experience with the phrase, "Just wait.". 1 Babywise is EVIL. Why would your torment your child with that filth! 2 Well, yeah, that might have worked with Eli because he was just an easy baby anyway! JUST WAIT" until the next one.it won't be so easy! First of all, I encourage anyone who is anti-Babywise to actually read the darn thing. We read the whole thing. We think it's becaus...
