Lessons in Motherhood

All of the credit for these gorgeous pictures goes to my patient husband who took the time to recolor and retouch them. I think they’re absolutely beautiful. In fact, I couldn’t decide which ones to post, so you can see them all here.

For entertainment value…

Since we don’t have the pictures quite ready yet, I’m going to try to temporarily placate you with this quiz inspired by our return from vacation.
Rank order the members of the Hamilton family based on their ability to adapt to normalcy today. They need to be ordered from best at transition to worst at [...]

Have you been missing me? I’ve been missing you…kinda. Actually, we’re having such a wonderful time in Florida. Every day is filled with some combination of beach time, pool time, good food time, and iPad time. Yes. You heard that right. We have three children here and three iPads. [...]

We were supposed to fly home from Buffalo on Monday, but there were some storms in Atlanta that made our flight delayed and eventually cancelled. Luckily, I decided as soon as it was delayed that we needed to wait until the next day to fly out. That gave us an extra day in [...]

Well, we’ve arrived safely in Buffalo. Hailey and Fifi have already enjoyed a wonderful trip to Chuck’E’Cheese with their Great Aunt Ann and cousins. I am extremely grateful to her for taking them because that’s been on Hailey’s list of things to do for a while. Unfortunately, it’s also been on Mommy’s [...]

May I just make a plea to the poop gods to please change my children’s biological cycles? I mean, I just can’t take it. They are in daycare for 8 hours a day, and they wait until dinner to do their business. Normally, it’s not a huge deal except when it is [...]

We had a wonderful mini-vacation this weekend at Red Top Mountain in Northern GA. It was our first camping experience with the girls, and they LOVED IT!!! I have to admit that I was a little bit worried about Hailey and her prissy missy attitude, but she really took to camping (even sleeping [...]

Tuesday was always planned as Magic Kingdom day, but there were quite a few hesitations when the weather called for severe thunderstorms for a three hour block of time. Still, we thought “how bad could thunderstorms be in Florida.” So, off we went to the park.
When we arrived around 9:30am, the [...]

Sorry for the lack of blogs during vacation, but it was a whirlwind trip (even though it was 7 days). I spent most of the trip being completely exhausted so I didn’t write. I’m really regretting that now because no one, not even me, wants to read a 100,000 word essay on what [...]
