The Briggle Blog: what i did over the summer (colorado springs)
http://thebriggleblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/what-i-did-over-summer-colorado-springs.html
Monday, September 27, 2010. What i did over the summer (colorado springs). As if our road trip out to colorado wasn't fun enough, we also got the added bonus of spending 2 solid weeks in the company of bob, rae. And adam's brother matt in colorado springs. It's pretty much the only game we play, and we're okay with that cuz it pretty much rocks); and drinking (microbrews and wine, though occasionally a stinger. What time is it? Do we still need to eat dinner, or will these chips and salsa count? We had s...

The Briggle Blog: a year of firsts
http://thebriggleblog.blogspot.com/2013/05/a-year-of-firsts.html
Saturday, May 18, 2013. A year of firsts. Has it been a year already? Before lulu was born, i had serious fears that i would never love this child as much as i love gracie. how in the world could THIS baby be even half as amazing as my sweet doodlebug? Would i neglect this baby because gracie was so much cooler? Would i love gracie less because i only have so much love and attention to give to my children? But somehow she's meeting all of her milestones way ahead than gracie did when she was a baby).

The Briggle Blog: potty training
http://thebriggleblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/potty-training.html
Tuesday, April 20, 2010. Well, today i have a HILARIOUS story to tell you about gracie. which made me want to expand on it and tell you all about potty training her in general. So let's back up to the very beginning. Ever since gracie's first day at her montessori preschool (around 18 months old) she's been very interested in the potty. when we lived in holland, i remember buying her a little. Like what i found at the HEMA. This worked for several months, but the problem started around the time gracie tu...

The Briggle Blog: welcome, baby lulu!
http://thebriggleblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/welcome-baby-lulu.html
Wednesday, November 16, 2011. Welcome, baby lulu! It's funny how life gets all busy, and i don't blog for like a SUPER long time. This blog first evolved after adam and i moved to the netherlands - tired of writing really long mass emails that got sent to everyone but us, and never the same group of people twice, we began what was essentially a travel blog. Then facebook came along, and it got super way mucho easy to just put everything on there. but that's not quite the same. But i never experienced ANY...

The Briggle Blog: "this little light of mine"
http://thebriggleblog.blogspot.com/2013/07/this-little-light-of-mine.html
Friday, July 12, 2013. This little light of mine". Adam and i were invited to speak at our church, the denton unitarian universalist fellowship. To help cover one of the sundays while our amazing minister was on vacation. the worship committee vaguely asked for a talk about "what you both are doing with the city", but left it rather open-ended after that. You be the judge - if you're interested, the text is below, and there's a video too. For me, things began when I tried to cross the street. After all&#...

The Briggle Blog: come to the meeting with us!
http://thebriggleblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/come-to-meeting-with-us.html
Friday, March 19, 2010. Come to the meeting with us! As most of you know, gracie and i ride our bike to her preschool on a somewhat-regular basis. in fact, we try to ride the bike everywhere we go: to the store, to church, to the park, etc. one of the biggest reasons we purchased a house in the neighborhood we chose was because it appeared bikeable to most places.

The Briggle Blog: what i did over the summer (road trip!)
http://thebriggleblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/what-i-did-over-summer-road-trip.html
Thursday, September 23, 2010. What i did over the summer (road trip! I know, i know. i promised more updates on my summer vacation like MONTHS ago, and still haven't filled you all in. my bad! You know what i've realized, though? Now that we have netflix, i'm totally busy watching things online instead of using my computer at night to update my blog. so, blame it all on netflix. it's totally their fault. We left at the end of july, and took 2 days to drive the 12 hours back to colorado springs. there...

The Briggle Blog: mykonos island
http://thebriggleblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/mykonos-island.html
Thursday, July 10, 2008. The second half of our trip to greece was spent on a truly paradisical island, mykonos. After several hot and dusty days in athens. All four of us were REALLY looking forward to the cool waters on the island. we were fortunate to find an AMAZING hotel. Which was located only about. We really went at a perfect time of year: the weather was gorgeous, but the crowds hadn't descended on the island yet. so we virtually had the place to ourselves! When we went down to the beach. She ju...

The Briggle Blog: labor of lululove
http://thebriggleblog.blogspot.com/2012/06/labor-of-lululove.html
Saturday, June 16, 2012. The day i went into labor with lulu, i was out at the denton community market. I was 6 days "overdue" at this point, and though i was happy as a clam being pregnant forever (i'm so good at it! And i get to eat as many donuts as i want! Adam came with me that night after picking up Barb to stay with Gracie while she slept. Of course, that was the one night in the last several months Adam had decided to go out for a few drinks with a friend. He was relieved Lulu decided to ...Anywa...

The Briggle Blog: the god squad
http://thebriggleblog.blogspot.com/2009/02/god-squad.html
Friday, February 20, 2009. We both really like the idea of having godparents, someone who can guide our children in their journeys towards and with God. and the whole baptism ritual feels very, very beautiful and sacred. but we did not want to baptize gracie into a religion,. Religion, that she might not ultimately identify with. we want her to choose her. Path, rather than choosing it. So we did our own thing: we created a "god squad" for gracie! That's how we met. There is also elizabeth. Good at liste...
