Since our stent in Scotland, Kent and I often comment on how over-the-top Americans can be about certain things (the hype over college and pro sports just for starters). Halloween is now another added to that list, because let me tell you, Hoosiers LOVE Halloween!
This was our first official, proper Halloween our family has celebrated. When in Colorado, Hannah [...]

A Few Reflections…

…from a stay-at-home Mom of 2 with sick kids:
When both children are being medicated with Tylenol and Motrin around the clock, it is best to keep a chart handy to remember when each child got what, OR just play “Sherlock” and investigate the color of the medicine that spilled on the sheets in the middle of the night [...]
From the mouth of…

Hannah.
From babbling, to first words, and then on to full sentences it seems like kids just grow up way too fast. Hannah has always been a bright girl, and since she was young has had quite an impressive vocabulary. Over the last week I have jotted a few things down which Hannah says which may not be articulated quite [...]
“Hoosiers”
Posted in Uncategorized on October 2, 2009 | 2 Comments »
“Hoosiers”… We thought when we moved here that the term “Hoosier” was just a nick name for those who graduated from Indiana University. We have now realized however that it can be used as a name for anyone who lives in, or is from Indiana.
Therefore, we are now Hoosiers, and it is official. Our licenses prove [...]
Before and After

I have had many people ask me to post a few pictures of our home.
So, in an effort to keep everyone happy, because it was semi-clean for once (thanks to the visitors we had–just don’t look too close), AND I remembered to take a few photos, I thought I would share some of the work [...]
“No Frustration Day”

Have you ever had those days (or if me, weeks where it feel as if your kids are intentionally causing you to turn grey? Where it seems as if you have to repeat yourself 7 times to get something done, your toddler is starting to throw tantrums at 13 months of age, and your 4 year [...]
Summer Highlights (Part 1)

So far behind… So much to write….So many great memories….
Instead of being able to describe our summer as restful or relaxing, it instead felt as our own personal version of “The Amazing Race”.
We are finally feeling a bit more settled, which is allowing me to sit down and get time to recap what exactly made [...]
First Days of School

August 31st and September 2nd were big days on our calendar. Those were the first days of school for both Kent and Hannah.
I couldn’t resist taking a few pictures of them as they both began the start of a new year!
“NO-NO Abby!”
Posted in Uncategorized on September 15, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I am starting to worry that Abigail thinks her real name is “No-NO Abby” these days.
This is what a typical day might sound like here in the Eilers’ home:
“No-NO Abby, please don’t throw your food!” (To which she responds by giving a coy look and carefully placing the food so it rests precariously close [...]
