Hello, and welcome to that glorious day of the week when I get to shamelessly show off how beautiful my children are. My name is Beth, and I’ll be your host this morning. Or whatever time of day it happens to be when you read this. I guess I can’t be very time-specific on Teh […]

They can now be employed as dairy cows. You know, so the dairy cows can have a break.
At least one Swiss restaurant has developed a new, innovative idea of using breastmilk in their soups, stews, and sauces. They buy the milk from donors. I wonder what the going rate is. I know cow milk over […]

I haven’t written about potty-training in awhile. Because whenever I write or talk about something my child has done that really excites me, they never do it again.
At one time, I was able to put an infant Benjamin down in his crib, still mildly awake. When he fussed, all I had to do was pat […]

Oh, help me. Took a bazillian (not to be confused with Brazilian) pictures of my family this weekend. I finally learned how to use my camera. (No, haven’t cracked the manual yet…) Now I can control the exposure!

The Crust (Made in bread machine, but can be adapted for those without):
Note:

A while back, I expressed concern with my doctor’s suggestion to fatten up my 18 month old. Benjamin has been in the 10th percentile for several months, save one spike on the chart. The doctor and I both agreed that this was most likely human error, but he scheduled a weight check for a month […]

Late. Again. My defense: The desktop shuts down randomly. I’ve been told I need to remove the cover and blow out the dust. But I shy away from both electronic work AND dusting.
So here I am, 10:13pm, Benjamin is refusing to go to sleep (he’s been sick all week and thinks going to bed without […]

Updated to add: I snapped down the Mommy’s Touch diapers to the smallest rise setting, double stuffed them, and tried them on Benjamin, two nights in a row. Neither leaked.

Well, it took three weeks, but the results from Josh’s qualifying exam are in.
Not sure how to say this… so here’s an illustration:
Looks like God has other plans for Josh right now. In the meantime, he’ll keep TA’ing and taking classes, now with the fun task of attending job fairs mixed in there as well.

So I’m a bit tied up over here, defending my belief on abortion… but I can’t deny the fam their weekly dose of meet-and-greet, so here I am up at the wee hours of the morning putting it together.
You’re welcome.
So here are some pictures from our roadtrip last weekend. (We stayed home this weekend. It […]
