I've been thinking of doing something like this as well, and have noticed it seems to be coming a trend. I look forward to seeing how you implement it.

My favorites the 4th picture with Stellan in it. He looks so cute in his hat. At least the first group photo came out well. I feel like most of the time none of our group shots come on nice. I just never sit still long enough. The mania in the rest of the shots were fun too though.

That's so exciting. I bet she is soo ready to get the baby out. Hope everything goes smooth.

Such a cute pic. Why is it I never catch my kids in cute moments? Probably because I'm a terrible photographer. Thank God for my wife.

Your October is almost as busy as my December! Both my kids and all their cousins are December babies. Not to mention Christmas and New Years Eve.

I would never keep a book "broken" just so I wouldn't have to read it again.

Oiy I have those days all the time. Sometimes I feel like my kids think I'm a video game and just love to keep pushing my buttons. They're lucky they are so darn cute.

Re: except for moments like that

Don't you just love it when the kids melt down about the littlest things and you have no idea why. Fortunately I don't have fans that notice me in those moments.

Re: Elijah's First Day of School

Kids definitely give you something to talk about. I bet some of my friends get tired of hearing about my kids.. you know, the ones who don't have any yet.

Wow in school at 1.5 years. Get them around other kids before they even learn how to be shy. I can't recall when we noticed how shy Elijah was, although it was pretty early on.

Oh how I miss ac. We went on vacation a few weeks ago and our condo had ac. I tried to talk my wife into getting it when we got back, but she vetoed the idea. Bummer.

Re: Can You List 50 Things You Love?

familycalamity — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 18:37:30 -0000

Things I really "love"? I'm not sure I could get past 10. Unless there is a long list of people.

I'm not sure we've ever gotten a good picture of our two together. They can be as cute as pie (is pie cute? people say cutiepie), but as soon as we pull the camera out... it's all over.

Hah, sorry I didn't clarify. Her arms were free, but I don't think a woman in labor is able to do a sit up and smack the doctor whose down below. Something about a bump in the way.

He hung in there the whole time we were at the hospital. His translation through the hard conversations were huge!

I think Morgan would have clobbered the doctor if she hadn't strapped her into the stirrups.

I love to cruise. We haven't done it with kids yet though. I want to do a Mediterranean one.... with out children. It'll probably never happen.

Re: Improve Your Marriage With Date Nights

familycalamity — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 17:22:27 -0000

It's a good one. In fact I made it tonight. Morgan complained I made it too spicy, but I like my heat what can I say? I thought about trying another recipe and blogging about it, but I was low on ingredients.

Jillian, surf videos eh? Maybe I should find some videos on you tube that make the water look really fun. That's not a bad idea. Thanks.

It's too bad it wasn't a month later. Who doesn't love New England in the fall? It can be hard to time right though. Beautiful wedding none the less.

Sorry mamakay, I have a short attention span so my installments are short. Y'all can come visit anytime. :) It's going to be a while before we make it back to your side of the pond.

Theresa, You should hear Morgan's version of the story. I tried to get her to write parts of this post but she only did some mild editing. I think the patients in the hospital probably thought there was a floor for torturing people until they paid their medical bills.

Re: Do the Duggar's have too many children?

familycalamity — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 09:54:20 -0000

I think the questions each family has to ask is can they afford it both from a financial standpoint and a sanity standpoint. If the answer is yes then have as many kids as you want. People don't have the right to say anything unless they can see the family struggling in those areas. Even then it should be a close friend, not people magazine.

Re: Will TV Make Your Kid Dumb?

familycalamity — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 19:39:05 -0000

Surfer Jay, I'd be very interested in your thoughts when you're done with the book. I don't think TV is the evil headed monster I use too. There are some great videos that help teach colors, shapes, songs, the alphabet etc. I try to keep viewing low though. Our son gets around 7 hours a week, which is more than I get. The problem is when people try to turn the TV into the baby sitter. Videos are fine as long as they're still getting lots of stimulation and activity elsewhere.

Re: He’s The Lovey Type of Guy?

familycalamity — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 13:09:06 -0000

Fortunately my kids (so far at least) haven't developed a "Lovey". My oldest does have a favorite toy, but he doesn't need it to fall a sleep or to go where ever he goes. I'm thankful for that.

We can't get Rotel here. It makes me rather sad. I try to substitutes for it, but have yet to find something that really compares.
