Sunday, December 30th, 2007Okay, it’s Sunday, December 30, 7:48 PM as I am currently writing this post and the neighbors are setting of fireworks. I must admit that I like fireworks, but in the past year (Yes, it’s been a year that we have lived in our house), I have noticed that people are always shooting off fireworks. [...]
We’re Home
Sunday, December 30th, 2007Well, we are back home in Florida, and I can say that I am so tired, and now I have what the kids and Matt have been battling bravely for the past few weeks.
The trip to Indiana was good, but very tiring. For once, I left without feeling guilty. There was only one person, my [...]
On Our Way
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007The past few days have been rough, that’s for sure. Yesterday, I took Mayli to the doctor (third time in less than two weeks) and she was diagnosed with bronchitis. Mayli spent the rest of the day feeling horribly (she actually took a four hour nap).
The kids seem to be doing much better today, Mati [...]
Two Sick Kids Puking and a Really Tired Mommy
Thursday, December 20th, 2007This could be a lyric to “The Twelve Days of Christmas”.
Okay, so I think I mentioned in my recent posts that Mayli has been to the doctor’s office twice in the past 10 days. Now, Mati is also sick. She woke up in the middle of the night and had vomit in her hair. She has [...]
Home for the Holidays
Wednesday, December 19th, 2007We will be leaving within sixty hours! I still have a little more shopping to do (I plan to go tonight) and I have to pack yet. Amazingly, the packing should be quite simple. The kids get most of the suitcase, and I get to pack cold-weather clothes that currently fit–about three pairs of pants [...]

This is my Christmas present from Matthew. It was painted by our dear friend, Susanna Stepanyan. We have been eyeing this painting, titled Secret, for quite some time. We celebrated Christmas with Lusine and Susanna today, and while I was helping Mayli unwrap her presents, Matt sneakily placed our [...]
Car-jack Deterrent No More
Saturday, December 15th, 2007Okay, so I will admit that I am not the most positive person in the world (what can I say–my blood type is B-, so well, it is in my blood). For almost a year, we have had some trouble with the gear shift in our Explorer. What would happen is that when the car [...]
The Bonus Post
Friday, December 14th, 2007Yes, two posts in one day!!! Hopefully my next post will be sooner than a week from now…
I just have to say: HOLY CRAP!!! IT’S RAINING!!! It seems like it’s been forever since we’ve had any measurable amount of rain. Our retention pond is lower than I’ve seen it, which is not a good sign, considering we [...]
The Cookie Diet
Friday, December 14th, 2007The past week has been so busy for us. Last Friday, I spent the day baking cookies for our cookie exchange on Sunday because I knew that I would not have a lot of time to bake on Saturday due to the SOCCENT Christmas Party. As most of you already know, I’m not Betty Crocker, nor [...]
Letters to the Powers that Be
Thursday, December 6th, 2007Dear Mr. President and Mr. General in charge of MacDill AFB:
Yesterday, I had a great time looking for a parking spot at the Commissary. It truly was so very incredibly fulfilling to spend half an hour looking for a parking spot. I am so glad to know that I am contributing money to those extremely impoverished [...]
