http://blog.thesprouffskes.com/2013/12/an-oldie-but-goodie-december-daily-2011.html
Tuesday, December 10, 2013. An oldie but a goodie. December Daily 2011. In November, I reminded myself just how much I love seeing how much the boys have grown.in something tangible, not on Facebook or online.so I committed to doing the December Daily for our second December together. As last year's December was a bit more "exciting" than anticipated with Alexander's early arrival.I was excited to refocus and spend a few minutes each day documenting what is happening. AND I LOVE IT. Find more advent daily.

The Sprouffskes • Life on the Farm: food for thought
http://blog.thesprouffskes.com/2006/09/food-for-thought.html
Tuesday, September 26, 2006. Written by michael g on september 22. worth the read. Michael, thank you for opening your heart and sharing this journey with everyone who loves you and your family. It is kind of difficult at times to see mom like this, when just ten days ago she was radiant at her birthday party. She has been saying things like…“Take care of your father” and “I love you very much”… like she is saying goodbye. Today, mom could barely manage the four teaspoons of soup I fed her…. Kids spend t...

The Sprouffskes • Life on the Farm: Seven Quick Takes: The Alexander Edition
http://blog.thesprouffskes.com/2013/08/seven-quick-takes-alexander-edition.html
Tuesday, August 20, 2013. Seven Quick Takes: The Alexander Edition. In no particular order. Alexander is eight months old now. His hair is fine and blonde.and gets curly on occasion. When that happens, I hold him up like the "Lion King" and let him know that he's definitely my son. He's 13 pounds - still on the "little peanut" side, but a crazy big eater like his older brothers. He sleeps through the night better than his older brothers. They are all sleeping in the same room. We found amazing sleep again.

Thursday, September 26, 2013. We welcomed with open arms the first day of Pre-K. A return to routines, getting up early, and schedules from the crazy laid-back theme of summer. But the beautiful summer weather changed the first day of school, and this is what we started with:. Ridiculous amounts of pouring rain. So we held off for a bit for this "school picture". And this is the classic image of his face right now:. And his first day "record" of the important things right now:. Find more the fam. Here, y...

Thursday, July 5, 2007. The fourth of july. The fourth of july at ft. lewis. an annual tradition (i think we're on the 9th year in a row).with mike and the plu football team crew lighting the sky for the freedom fest. i love being out here on post for independence day - the crowd was thinner this year due to deployments, but it was so worth it to be there. Each year, they hand out sweet 3-d glasses, which stella is modeling above (complete with her trademarked 'warm and welcoming smile'. :). A glimpse in...

Friday, December 7, 2007. 25 days of christmas day seven. The infamous christmas letters. i've been meaning to blog these for a while, but had to get them all pdf'ed and ready to go.

Which, well, we are. In case you want to catch up on the world of our fam, long befor...

The Sprouffskes • Life on the Farm: Brother to brother
http://blog.thesprouffskes.com/2014/04/brother-to-brother.html
Tuesday, April 8, 2014. The other night, Thomas and John Paul were finishing up their baths (much needed after the muddy, muddy day on the farm and some little kid messes). I was in the kitchen cleaning up dinner and was listening to them talk in the bathroom. Most of it was Thomas, with John Paul responding a little. It was one of those moments that I immediately wrote down because I never wanted to forget it. I love having boys together, so close in age. I DID NOT KNOW THAT, THOMAS! Find more john paul.

Saturday, September 2, 2006. Thursday was a lame day in my life. it was frustrating. it was irritating. dealing with people who were frustrating and irritating. and i probably was just as frustrating and irritating too. Enter the september issue of magnificat. The peeps in my corner of the office arrived on friday morning to find, in each of our offices, copies of one of the blessings in the front of the issue. copied by dad. The litany to sanctify work. From the temptation to be listless and lazy. From ...
