The Van Dervens: September 2009
http://thevandervens.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 30, 2009. Charlie has been gone the past couple of days and I have been walking around the house, sweeping through the bedrooms, running to get the phone on the other end, and although I have always said this house is just too small for us, suddenly it feels SO big. And it is full of stuff. I can't imagine how I am going to organize this family of four into such a small living space. Everything has to count. Have you seen us packed for a 2 week trip?

The Van Dervens: July 2009
http://thevandervens.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 31, 2009. My sister in law, Jessica. And I rarely get a chance to get shutter happy on our girls together, so we had a little 36 hour photo-fest when we stayed with them in Plymouth. I am not sure how often you go through Wisconsin towns, but in the summer it is absolutely adorable - the architecture, the green farmland, the red barns - and the weather is windy and warm. It is enough to make you want to move there. That being said, we get home and I have to tell you I really love. Anyhoo, ba...

The Van Dervens: October 2009
http://thevandervens.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 25, 2009. Things are crazy around here. And I am pretty much worked. I guess the stress has just all accumulated to a point where no more input may be put in, yet so many things still have to get done, and the stress of moving things and packing things and whatnot has the kids and the dogs teetering on a certain edge that keeps things very loud and wild and whiny around here. I like to remind myself to breathe. The long slow breaths that calm you blood, your mind, your soul. It is her pre...

The Van Dervens: New Skills..
http://thevandervens.blogspot.com/2010/02/new-skills.html
Monday, February 15, 2010. We suited up and grabbed the tube this weekend for some fun at Chester Bowl. A local park right down the road. It was upexpectedly AWESOME and will totally be where Madee learns to ski. We hucked it up a hill to tube down, and had some serious fun. Even Eden went tubing! Highlights of the following video montage. Tubing with Madee and Eden, Madee's virgin ski voyage, Dad's cameraman skills, Ono's nine lives and what it is like living with Zeus.

The Van Dervens: February Fun
http://thevandervens.blogspot.com/2010/02/february-fun.html
Tuesday, February 9, 2010. The bath is a regular source of fun around here. It's kind of a big thing. Sometimes it gets a little drained and reheated and rebubbled when it is a really good one. I mean, what is a kid to do when the outside time is limited? They really enjoy having each other. Eden can pull herself anywhere and everywhere now, and can pull herself up to standing. But this is what she did in there this morning. We have been having fun themey art times with Valentine's day around the corner.

The Van Dervens: Happy Valentine's Day!
http://thevandervens.blogspot.com/2010/02/happy-valentines-day.html
Sunday, February 14, 2010. You know want to kiss this face. Happy Valentine's Day everybody! Remember this holiday is all about love. Not expectations, or candy or presents or flowers. It is abuot love. And as I told my girls all week as we prepared for this glorious occasion of love, Valentine's Day doesn't mean much unless you don't have a Valentine. But, if you have family, you have Valentines. Oh and so much love comes from this family. So for us it is a family holiday. I mean we are Van Dervens.

The Van Dervens: The Daily
http://thevandervens.blogspot.com/2010/02/daily.html
Thursday, February 18, 2010. When she is happy? Well, it just doesn't get any cuter than this one. And her chunky little teeth coming in? Torture. For all of us. But OH LORD ARE THEY SO CUTE. Kid's got an adorable grill. She doesn't want to be left out of anything, and spends a lot of time pulling herself around the hall between the main living area and the bedroom and whining because she just can't make a decision. And yesterday when I got out of the shower she cracked my behind and said "BUTT! Eden had...

The Van Dervens: January 2010
http://thevandervens.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 30, 2010. 0 degrees and counting. Here's a picture of a just awakened Madee, with her best Daddy face on. Her hair even looks like his bedhead! I love those lips. Again with the lips. Showcasing her "I am so cool" posture. She leans in to things. And really settles in. She just seems so grown up now. We hit a quarter merry go round at the mall. Only it costs a dollar. So we got the family's money's worth. The Hygiene Queen just after a bath. Oh this smile is to die for. And oh that hair!
