Lil' Viking

Running further behind each day

2009-09-17T19:54:03Z

My blogging skills seem to have crashed entirely. Our family has been so busy trying to keep up with daily life and then starting a business on top of that. It doesn't leave much room for other things. I can't believe that the summer is over an...

Another School Year

2009-08-17T15:20:33Z

The lil' munchkin has been going to preschool since she was just beyond three years old... a year and a half. You would think I would be used to it by this point, but for some reason as I loaded her and her big box of school supplies into the ca...

Daddy Guilt

2009-07-29T17:24:15Z

So generally it's my guilt that I'm writing about - something that there's always plenty of. But this week, I watched guilt - albeit well deserved guilt - wrap itself around my husband and make him rectify the situation within 20 minutes of the ...

For the love of Dapple

2009-07-27T20:37:15Z

When I was 19, I made a walk through a mall and had stopped at the petstore. There towards the back sat a small black and tan dachshund that had gray dappling throughout his coat. He seemed so sober and old even at his young 6 months and I knel...

The Moment

2009-06-22T20:02:01Z

When my son was born, my heart expanded to make room for him and I've never looked back. He's grown into such a mischievous little boy but yet still so cuddly. His vocabulary took off a several months back and over the last two months, he's beco...

Which one is it?

2009-06-17T16:54:10Z

Both kids laid on our bed last night watching Disney's "Spykids" until 7:30 pm rolled around. I told them it was bedtime and took them to brush their teeth and then read a story. As I sat on Bear's bed reading to them, Beloved came in and decla...

Behaving as a parent

2009-06-17T16:44:57Z

When Beloved arrived home yesterday with both kids in tow, he told me that he had to sign an accident form for Bear. Another child had bitten him on the hand. Of course, the school won't tell you which child bit him, so I simply asked Bear if h...

What's next... Prom?

2009-06-16T20:11:58Z

I just posted a couple weeks back about the lil' munchkin losing her first tooth, even though she's not even quite 4 and a half. The permanent tooth had poked its head through the gums and is making sure that soon my little gap-toothed muchkin h...

The Magic of M&Ms

2009-06-11T14:34:05Z

Bear will be two and a half on July 10th. His diapers are not getting any better and I'm hopeful to have him potty trained before he turns three. The lil' munchkin was a breeze to potty train and we managed it in a matter of a few days. Bear h...

Seriously?

2009-06-02T16:23:51Z

After I recovered from the lil' munchkin losing her first baby tooth (at 4 years old!!!) I sat stunned again to realize that her second tooth - the next door neighbor - is loose as well. Not only that, but as of last night, Her very first permane...
