Adventures in Parenting 101: October 2008
http://macnmike.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 28, 2008. Originally uploaded by mbowling. In our house, the level of excitment over Halloween is definitely on par with Christmas. So much so, that the kids have the opportunity to wear their costumes no less than four times this year. At their ages, they don't NEED to trick-or-treat that many times, but c'mon nothing about Halloween is a need. Plus, our Minnie Mouse and monkey sure do look adorable. Tuesday, October 21, 2008.

Adventures in Parenting 101: Meet Me in St. Louis
http://macnmike.blogspot.com/2009/06/meet-me-in-st-louis.html
Sunday, June 28, 2009. Meet Me in St. Louis. In four days, we packed our schedule yet we didn't set a timetable for any activity. We followed the kids' lead and just enjoyed family time. The two big highlights for us were the zoo and the Magic House. Those RAWK! Ella was quite amused by the automatic circle door (i.e. revolving door) at the hotel's entrance. She requested that each time we left and arrived at the hotel that we use that entrance. It's the little things people. Who needs a attractions as E...

Adventures in Parenting 101: January 2009
http://macnmike.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 26, 2009. My Kids, My Motivation. Mike and I awoke this morning to a much greater burden placed on our shoulders. While we recognize our present life is not what we planned, we still believe in our future. My hope is this unexpected jobless adventure is short-lived. I expect the next few weeks (please not months! Oh how I love these little people. Sunday, January 11, 2009. Originally uploaded by mbowling. Tuesday, January 06, 2009. Interesting Facts about E&S. No time for a full blown pos...

Adventures in Parenting 101: February 2009
http://macnmike.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 28, 2009. Trimming up the back. Originally uploaded by Amanda and Mike. Another first for Mr. Sam - his first hair cut. Ella was two years old. Sam was 10 months. Guess, that is the difference in girls and boys. It was time. Sam had become Shaggy Sam with hairs growing over his ears and bangs into his eyes. His teachers were giving me a hard time because I was resistant to get it done. Tuesday, February 24, 2009. Three Years Old, Three Birthdays. Saturday, February 14, 2009. We relishe...

Adventures in Parenting 101: Happy 1st Birthday Sam
http://macnmike.blogspot.com/2009/04/happy-1st-birthday-sam.html
Sunday, April 05, 2009. Happy 1st Birthday Sam. Originally uploaded by Amanda and Mike. In my attempt to save some money on this party, Tricia and I partnered together to tackle the cake and cupcakes. Any guess who did which one? Tricia is quite the patient artist. Both were tasty, so while my cake was not as artistic as I hoped (helps if you give yourself more time to decorate), I had fun attempting to put it together. In retirement, maybe I'll learn how to properly decorate a cake. Mike and Jenny's Blog.

Adventures in Parenting 101: Hey, that’s my brother
http://macnmike.blogspot.com/2009/06/hey-thats-my-brother.html
Sunday, June 14, 2009. Hey, that’s my brother. When I was pregnant with Sam and before I knew he was a boy, I pondered the idea of what having another girl would mean for our family. We already had a plethora of girl stuff. (Have you seen Ella’s closet? Ok that’s a post for another day! Of course I worried about Ella accepting a sibling into her life regardless of gender. Would she feel displaced? Would she be jealous that she had to share the spotlight? As a mom watching this unfold, all I could think a...

Adventures in Parenting 101: May 2009
http://macnmike.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 18, 2009. Our Life the Last Month in Pictures. Has it really been a month since I've blogged? I almost forgot my log-in to blogger. I honestly have not had much time nor have I wanted to take the time to blog. Rather than me drone on and on about what we've been up to this last month. I thought pictures would be more appropriate. So without further adieu (whatever that is), I present to you the Bowling clan:. Take me out to the ball game. Watching cars go round and round. For the last eight w...

Adventures in Parenting 101: March 2009
http://macnmike.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 30, 2009. Originally uploaded by Amanda and Mike. Oh what fun it is to go round and round. While any spinning ride makes my dear hubby incredible nauseous, I love to spinning rides. At Disneyland, the teacups were one of my favorite rides, and I could not get enough of Lady Luck (better known as Cyclone Sam to the locals) when I was kid visiting Adventureland. Monday, March 23, 2009. Less than two weeks. First, when did I become a mom? So what's going on with the little man? I Love This Boy.

Adventures in Parenting 101: July 2009
http://macnmike.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 14, 2009. All About Sam the Man. This week is all about Mr. Sam as big sister is spending the week in Nebraska with her grandparents. We miss the little lady, but we are enjoying making Sam the complete center of attention. In honor of this week being all about Sam, this post is all about the little man. BEST BELLY LAUGH EVER! And it's not just shoes. I caught him the other night pulling a dirty but wrapped diaper from the bathroom trash, walking it into his room, tossing it in his diap...
