Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you feel deeply loved. If you are reading this then you know that I love you. The bravery in our household this past week has been strong. The girls and I took downhill skiing lessons. I managed the bunny slope!! Sarah learned how to slow herself and stop. Amy took… Read more »

The morning after Sarah’s wonderful birthday was a bit challenging. I have since decided that if there is a day when Anna isn’t arriving until sometime after 9am then Sarah will not even know they are coming. On Monday Anna was coming at 1 and that meant Sarah whining, yelling, screaming, and asking repeatedly “when… Read more »

Fourteen years ago a tiny Sincere Musical Note Baby Mouse The Mouse also known as Sarah was born. Little did we know through what journey we were about to embark. We worked hard, especially Sarah, for each milestone. She crawled at 18 months and walked at 3 years. Now she is learning to swim. At… Read more »

Amy is selling Girl Scout cookies this year, but not going door to door to take orders. If you live near us I think there is still time to order and select “girl delivery” and we can leave your cookies on your doorstep. That also means you have to wait longer than if you just… Read more »

The nerve block on Monday helped lessen the severity and frequency of my headaches, but after a horrendous headache yesterday morning I am not feeling hopeful that the nerve block was effective as a cluster buster.

I really don’t have much to say about this week other than it was overshadowed by headaches. Mama mouse, Baby mouse school house went well, even on Friday when I was downed by a terrible headache for about 3 1/2 hours. Luckily we had gotten most of our subjects done when it hit and then… Read more »

We are home from our travels, and we saw a double rainbow on our drive which I take to be a good omen. Our first night driving back was spent at a tiny RV park that had a pond and geese a few feet from where we were parked. The second night of our journey… Read more »

We are at our rental house and have had wonderful days playing at the beach that is one block away or in the heated pool that goes with the house. We even went in the pool on the days with a high of 54 degrees! Our first day at the new house was a bit… Read more »

We had another good week of Mama Mouse School House. When Sarah and I did our snuggle time sometimes we talked about muscles and bones. She mostly knows biceps, triceps, deltoid, and scapula. When she brought up the chain on my necklace and how she wants to sleep on a chain that holds a sign… Read more »

Sarah’s newest snuggle-time favorite is for us to trade saying, “you are my dear, my dear.” It is very sweet. I have tried building more rhymes, such as “water is clear dear,” but that hasn’t taken off like the things that rhyme with “four.” She also says that the snuggling is giving her more forks… Read more »
