The kids fell asleep in the last hour of 2009, so we enjoyed the quiet to watch a movie in bed while welcoming the New Year. It was a peaceful transition to the 2010, and I hope that trend continues throughout the year. Today we were all feeling kind of stuffy and sniffly, so we lounged around most of the… Read more »
Today was a milestone for Zofia and the onset of a new challenge for me. She climbed out of her crib and promptly landed head first in a basket of laundry. We don’t use the crib much for sleeping, as she’s usually cuddled up beside us in bed, but it’s been a useful tool while I’m taking a shower, or… Read more »
Once again an entire month has gone by with hardly a moment to sit and reflect upon it. It’s been an eventful few weeks. As summer wound down, and we started the new “school” year, we started a few new activities for the kids and kept busy toting them around, as well as, focusing on a few new academic paths… Read more »
Maxon Dixon Line Today is Memorial Day, and along with paying homage to all those that gave their lives in service to our country, we’re enjoying a little R&R. My mom came down quite early this morning to pick up Flo and Joe to take them to a Memorial Day Parade in Chambersburg. So, Darren, Zofia and I will enjoy… Read more »

Yes, fifteen years ago, we crossed the border from Canada into Maine filled with youthful enthusiasm (and naivety) about starting a new life together. After securing a marriage license a day later than anticipated, due to a state holiday, we were married by Etta,… Read more »
Playing in the Snow We’ve had a couple good snow storms. Nothing in the realm of true New England weather, but enough for the kids to get some good sledding in. Flo also went to Ski Liberty, in Pennsylvania, with our homescooling group for a fun day of tubing down the mountain. Joe is content with the little hill in… Read more »
Jeesh! January blew by, didn’t it? It’s been a busy couple of weeks. Yesterday, Darren went to DC to pick up his new computer to work at home. Today we went down to Martinsburg to the VA hospital, where’s he’s been outsourced for the past seven months. We went to pick up all his stuff, and ended up having to… Read more »
Since 2008 is the year of the rat, according to the Chinese calendar, Flo hastily drew a rat for me. Maybe we should call him Rapido the Rat. (Rapido means “quick” in Spanish) Oh, and my name (Tara) spelled backwards, spells A RAT. So, this must be a sign of a good year to come. As long as we don’t… Read more »
Outing Myself Originally uploaded by PetiteFamily93 I guess the fact that I haven't gotten a good night's sleep in a week is starting to catch up with me. I looked at my kitchen today and just walked away. I opted to play games with the kids, and refrain from nagging at them to clean up their stuff all day. The… Read more »
