Spotts Family: June 2010
http://spottsfamily.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Stuff I don't want to forget. The last seven weeks in the USA have flown by. Lots of doctor appointments for Libby and mainly just catching up on sleep and energy lost since Libby's leg became infected in late February. Meanwhile, I noticed Shane hopping on one leg the other day. He's also improved in catching balls that he throws up in the air. Last, he's got a mind like a steel trap and continues to amaze me when he starts singing (or combining) songs that he's heard&#...3 The...

Spotts Family: Life tidbits...
http://spottsfamily.blogspot.com/2011/07/life-tidbits.html
Monday, July 18, 2011. Although we're busy gearing up for a major life change - a new job for me, moving the family almost 8,000 miles (literally), selling/packing, closing utility accounts, and more - life goes on. Everyone (except Libby and the baby) has had colds. The monsoon rains have been welcomed along with cooler temps and less air conditioning (which means a smaller electricity bill)! We hope to have plane tickets in our hands in the next 24 hours. Looks like we'll depart for the USA on the ...

Spotts Family: July 2010
http://spottsfamily.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 24, 2010. Firsts: Fun times, great memories. I need to add some pictures or videos, but here are some great things that have happened despite Libby's tuburculosis and our forced return to the USA:. Shane and Lukas experiencing their first small-town July 4th parade. They loved the horses, anything with sirens, and lots of crazy bicycles. Shane touching snow for the first time with a smile and saying, "It makes a sound! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). FAQ on return to USA. Other friends who blog.

Spotts Family: What makes Bella (and Daddy) a little cranky
http://spottsfamily.blogspot.com/2011/08/what-makes-bella-and-daddy-little.html
Tuesday, August 02, 2011. What makes Bella (and Daddy) a little cranky. Of course, since daddy (and mommy) shares the room, Bella's commentary throughout the night is a bit of a disturbance. I think it's time to give Bella her own room! In other news, a week ago (on Monday), the staff at my main partner organisation/client let our whole family drop by to say goodbye and then had a nice farewell lunch for me.

Spotts Family: May 2011
http://spottsfamily.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 16, 2011. Plastic chicken out, back rubs in. In other news, Asha has officially discarded her favorite toy from the last two months: a plastic/toy fried chicken leg. She now prefers climbing up on the couch (a new thing) and 'reading' books. She also coos at her doll. We eat chapati and rice and yogurt." (Chapati is a flat Indian bread.). Bella is entering the last (we hope) of the 'fussy' weeks in normal baby development. Overall, she's eating/sleeping fine and just a bit grumpy for a fe...

Spotts Family: March 2011
http://spottsfamily.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Grandma Crawford has been here just over a month. She is obviously much, much more than a babysitter! Anyway, I've really enjoyed: an anniversary dinner with Libby at the new, funky, five-star The Park hotel on the edge of the lake; an anniversary breakfast at a new Indian restaurant nearby (yes, we celebrated our 7th anniversary twice); going with Libby to her last doctor(s) appointments; and several other outtings. Monday, March 07, 2011. The weather is finally hot. Was n...

http://spottsfamily.blogspot.com/2011/06/big-change-early-to-bed.html
Wednesday, June 08, 2011. The big change: early to bed. With all three kids, around the age of 2-3 months they went from a 9-10pm bedtime to a 5-6pm bedtime. And.Bella joined the club sometime over the last week! It's nice because Libby now has a little more free time to exercise or do whatever. It is all survivable. And we're thankful the monsoon is here. And Bella is sleeping early! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). FAQ on return to USA. Our city's current weather. Our US-based parent company.

Spotts Family: February 2011
http://spottsfamily.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 25, 2011. I woke up around 6pm last Thursday with that pleasant, woozy feeling that is produced by wonderful medical chemicals. My knee surgery lasted about 3 hours and they found four problems (including 2 unanticipated) to fix. But at the time, all I knew was three things:. 1 I was cold and couldn't get my voice to work (to summon nurses) or hands (to pull up the blanket). I lay there shivering. 2 I couldn't unclench my jaw. (Perhaps related to being too cold? The boys are a little per...

Spotts Family: April 2010
http://spottsfamily.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 12, 2010. I like to read. In fact, in a good way, I take pride in the fact that I read widely. I read a study once that said the average American (after finishing school) reads less than 2 books a year. But somehow I've gotten myself into a mess. Check it out. On my bedside table:. Parenting with Love and Logic. India's Unending Journey, by Tully. Bakht Singh of India. Complications, by A. Gwande. Nehru, by Tharoor. The First 90 Days, by Watkins. On my desk at work:. Just Courage, by Haugen.
