Blogging Life: Little Shoes Make Me Crazy
http://amanda-blogginglife.blogspot.com/2012/01/little-shoes-make-me-crazy.html
Never a dull moment. Friday, January 27, 2012. Little Shoes Make Me Crazy. It’s not just the fact that they cost too much and are outgrown before the soles are worn; it’s because I put them on little feet eleventyninehundred times a day. At least it feels that way. Except when he takes off his shoes. I put the shoes on him (praise the good Lord that Ella finally does this job herself), I gathered up all our crap (because I’m not just a mommy, I’m a Mommy Mule), I opened the door and said R...I am so t...

Blogging Life: March 2014

Never a dull moment. Thursday, March 20, 2014. Tympanoplasty: Another Fancy Word. Several months from now, they'll do another hearing test to see if her hearing has improved in that ear, and they expect it to be normal since what loss she has is caused by the holey ear drum. How they figure all that stuff out from a hearing test is amazing to me. On a very positive note, since she is 5, she was not subjected to the Hearing Test of Terror that poor Luke had to survive two years ago. Tuesday, March 18, 2014.

Blogging Life: Traveling with Kids
http://amanda-blogginglife.blogspot.com/2014/08/traveling-with-kids.html
Never a dull moment. Friday, August 29, 2014. Every evening after supper. We try to take a vacation every year, usually in the summer except for The Year of Cancer. This summer we made two trips with the kids and I realized something: traveling with kids is so much easier than traveling with babies and toddlers. I didn't pack a single diaper. Not one. No one cried because riding in the car sucks. I actually got to face forward in my seat for the majority of the ride. I can't wait to plan our next trip.

Blogging Life: Four
http://amanda-blogginglife.blogspot.com/2014/08/four.html
Never a dull moment. Monday, August 18, 2014. In just four short years. The first few years of life are truly astonishing. By the way, that last picture was taken just a few days ago. In August. He wasn't cold; he just has no time for things like weather when creating a character. Speaking of yelling, he has a most annoying habit of yelling "Mamaaaaa! Occasional rudeness aside, he has a sweet spirit and a vivid imagination that makes parenting him a daily adventure. I can't believe he's already four.

Blogging Life: Merry Christmas, ya'll!
http://amanda-blogginglife.blogspot.com/2014/12/merry-christmas-yall.html
Never a dull moment. Monday, December 08, 2014. Merry Christmas, ya'll! This year, Christmas cards have gone the way of this blog. That is to say, there won't be any. Instead, enjoy these sweet digital pictures of my children in (rarely) coordinating dress clothes (and in a rare, cooperative, tolerant mood). Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Mark 10:14. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Merry Christmas, yall!

Blogging Life: Summer's Over
http://amanda-blogginglife.blogspot.com/2014/08/summers-over.html
Never a dull moment. Thursday, August 07, 2014. Did you hear that this is the first day of school? First day of 1st grade. We summered all the way until 9:15 last night. None of that going to bed early and getting back on schedule a week before school business for The Ropers. Ain't nobody got time for that. See those snazzy new shoes she's wearing? She earned them by learning to tie them herself this summer. Praise the Lord. Ya'll know how I hate little shoes. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). For week...

Blogging Life: February 2014
http://amanda-blogginglife.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Never a dull moment. Monday, February 24, 2014. Nightmares: Hers and Mine. Is there such a thing as a 5.5 year sleep regression? Because, I think we're in it. I've told you how I love sleep, and how nighttime parenting is the hardest part, right? Every night of broken sleep just compounds the problem until I'm a hot mess. She replied in her pitiful voice, "I'm just scared." I was a hot mess. I didn't know. "When did she start that medicine? Trouble sleeping , abnormal. I even found some. I just hope this...

Never a dull moment. This is our story.

Blogging Life: Six
http://amanda-blogginglife.blogspot.com/2014/06/six.html
Never a dull moment. Wednesday, June 25, 2014. This stubborn, kind-hearted, smart little weirdo is six today. It's hard to believe it's been six years since I held her for the first time. That tiny baby is a half-grown kid now - in the middle place where I still catch glimpses of her babyhood and other times I get a peek at the young woman she will be one day. Watching her grow just gets better every year. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Chalazion: Another Fancy Word. Are my insides burning? Read the...

Blogging Life: December 2013

Never a dull moment. Thursday, December 26, 2013. Welcome, Tooth Fairy! Almost five years to the day after growing her first tooth, Ella pulled one out. She's been working on it since I noticed it looking all wonky five days ago and asked her if it was loose. I really thought that Santa and the Tooth Fairy might rendezvous at our house on Christmas Eve, but she saved some excitement for the day after Christmas. Here's the obligatory bloody tooth hole picture. Wednesday, December 18, 2013. A Batman shirt ...
