Yesterday would not be one of those days that I would entitle, “I was a really good mom today” day. Well, at least part of the day wasn’t. Breakfast was finished (I had made my kids Mickey Mouse waffles, Aidan had been asking for them for several days), it was a cloudy morning and I […]

Today we had our 20 week ultrasound for the baby. We’ve done this with every baby. Both Chris and I love to see the baby, just one little peak at the baby before he/she is born. We were so good this time, we had decided long ago that we would not find out the gender […]

This is the first time that I have been pregnant and too tired to care how far along I am. I usually have to force myself not to look at the calendar several times a week only to see that I am only two days closer to my due date than last time. I’ve usually […]

I’m drinking a cup of tea. Not coffee, I would normally drink a cup of coffee with chocolate syrup and cream on a night like tonight. But I am a good girl. Okay that is not totally true. I’m drinking tea more out of guilt, guilt that stems from my previous consumption of animal crackers […]

I’ve been doing a “Cheerful Chart” for my kids this past week and again this week, it has been a learning and eye-opening experience for all of us. Today Aidan was talking to a lady at he grocery store, she had just said, “you sure have your hands full”, and I responded, “my husband has […]

As of last night it looks like I’m having a miscarriage. I started bleeding last night around 10:00 and was feeling pretty weak today because I’ve lost so much blood so Chris is taking the day off to be with me, just to be sure.
Considering all that, I’m doing pretty well. It’s hard to lose […]

For those of you who were not able to watch the video we posted, and are just dying to know what our news is, we are expecting again! My due date is June 19th (my sister’s birthday), so I’m only about 5 1/2 weeks pregnant, but already feeling the symptoms of course. I usually think […]

We’re really flying!

When Chris and I got married, as many of you know, we wasted no time with the babies. I have always wanted to have boys, and Chris has always wanted to have girls, we both got our wishes and both discovered how much we both wanted […]

We are well under way with potty training in the Burns’ household. In fact Eamon isn’t wearing diapers at all! Not even for naps and bed time! He still has at least one accident a day but that’s why we have lots of underwear :) Aidan is now wearing underwear to bed at night. It […]

I clean an office for an hour on Monday nights, it’s actually a nice time to get away for me. When I don’t have any extra errands to do I just leave after the kids have gone to bed, but last night I needed to go to the grocery store as well so I had […]

Our neighbor just called a little bit ago to let us know she was putting her chickens in for the night and she checked on our eggs and one of them has a hole so we should have a new baby tomorrow, we will probably bring it home on Monday. I feel like a mommy […]

I’ve just spent a bunch of time on line tonight looking for answers. Eamon has had a hard month or two. His behavior is just plain grumpy pretty much all of his waking hours. I’m not sure what to do with him. I discipline but I know it goes much deeper than a discipline issue. […]

Well, we are going on night number 5, no thumb and binkie! Yeah :) Eamon is doing really well. He asks for it once in a while but we say no and he’s pretty much okay with it. It’s been harder for Aidan. He told me today. “I’m done sucking my thumb mom. So I […]

I agree with my mom, I think now after one thumb sucker and two binkie lovers I prefer thumb sucking, so I’m okay with Cait sucking her thumb :) We have never attempted to get Aidan to stop sucking his thumb, although I have asked him to stop sucking his thumb during the day as […]

You see the picture of our sweet little daughter who has just figured out how to suck her thumb. At the same time we are attempting to help our oldest child learn to stop sucking his. Right now he is crying in his bed because we put a Band-Aid on his thumb to see if […]
