I appreciate North Idahoan mosquitoes because they're satisfyingly large and loud, enabling me to track their flight before I squish them. 07:00:29 PM August 03, 2010 from web

The Dawning of the Clone

By Shorel & Sandra on April 5th, 2010

Schäfer threw up three times last night.

Thus began a long day of poop and vomit.

By 5pm, I had convinced Schäfer to go outside and get some fresh air. Since nap time, he’s been making frequent trips to the bathroom wanting to throw up, but nothing came.

Hubs is also sick.

At Hubs request, I’ve tossed all the

A Slow Saturday

By Shorel & Sandra on April 3rd, 2010

While Hubs went on his bike ride, the kids and I enjoyed a long walk around the neighborhood. Even though it’s April and Easter is tomorrow, we’re still in all our layers plus heavy coats.

The Thomas whistle resides in my “outside bag” so that it can be tooted as needed.

Sianna loves her big brother.

Schäfer loves

Good Friday Goodness 2010

By Shorel & Sandra on April 2nd, 2010

I got out of bed delighted that it was Friday. I knew this because my Ironman watch told me so.

Hubs reminded me that it was Good Friday.

I immediately thought of Annelies and wondered if she was taking the day off from work which is her Good Friday tradition. It’s funny what brings people to mind.

Since

Who needs to play with their own toys when Ge Ge is driving a boat around?

She’s so smitten with Schäfer.

After a long day of rain, we decided to go splash in some puddles and blow the Thomas whistle.

Schäfer loves to take his Dr. Seuss bag with him when we plan on going to

One Month Together

By Shorel & Sandra on February 24th, 2010

Today marks One Month Together! I can’t believe how much Sianna has changed in just one month. When I put this purple onesie on Sianna, she started smiling and looking at her sleeves. It cracks me up that she notices what’s on her clothing.

The other day, I wrote my friend, Lynn, an e-mail. Our sons are

Sunny Days

02.22 – 02.23.10

02.22.10

This morning Schäfer wanted to get out the “road race”.

Sianna enjoyed watching him zoom cars up and down the track.

These days, Schäfer requests a manchego cheese sandwich for lunch.

Sianna enjoys pumpkin and carrots, but her favorite by far is cauliflower. Sometimes, she smacks her lips when she sees our food, but bless her
