The Gardner Groove.....: May 2013
http://jodiegirl.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Welcome to our little spot on the web. Monday, May 13, 2013. Remember that time in the fourth grade when I was supposed to make an Indian village out of clay? Remember that time in the fifth grade when I had to make a book labeling all of the steps of the scientific process? Remember all the other projects you helped me with? Eighth grade Science Fair comes to mind. We worked so hard on that project and it paid off. I got one of the top five awards for our city. I was so proud. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Gardner Groove.....: Metal Head
http://jodiegirl.blogspot.com/2011/09/metal-head.html
Welcome to our little spot on the web. Monday, September 12, 2011. Nate likes to head butt. Hard. And it hurts. I try especially hard to not be on the receiving end. We all avoid it, if possible. Poor Em got it good the other day. I heard it hit and it hit hard. Poor little bunny. When the crying had finally ceased she said to me, "Mom, why is Nate's head made of metal? Of course it was. Only, not really.*. And she replies, "who knows. What I wonder is where he gets his metal head from." This got...Love ...

The Gardner Groove.....: It's A Hard Job!
http://jodiegirl.blogspot.com/2011/07/its-hard-job.html
Welcome to our little spot on the web. Wednesday, July 6, 2011. It's A Hard Job! It is not my job to be your best friend. It is my job to be the mom. I know that doesn't always make you happy. Just remember that I do it because I love you! Hopefully one day when you are the mom, you will appreciate it. I could write that same letter 5 times a day. Or more. It is hard. Whats it going to be like when they become teenagers? July 8, 2011 at 10:37:00 AM EST. August 9, 2011 at 2:10:00 AM EST. I laugh and I cry.

The Gardner Groove.....: Seven Years
http://jodiegirl.blogspot.com/2011/08/seven-years.html
Welcome to our little spot on the web. Thursday, August 11, 2011. Seven years ago today I became a Momma. I held my sweet baby boy for the very first time and marveled that God had seen fit to allow me to parent this perfect angel. I'm not sure I felt like a mom right away. I think when you adopt, the feelings come in waves. For the first couple of weeks I remember feeling like at any moment someone would come and take him back and say okay, your time is up. Tyler, we love you so very much! I am so great...

The Gardner Groove.....: May 2012
http://jodiegirl.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Welcome to our little spot on the web. Wednesday, May 30, 2012. I don't like pain. I'm not sure anyone does. I especially despise the pain that comes from heartbreak. The all consuming, overwhelming, blindsiding pain that happens when your heart is just plain broken. And now, though the pain has ebbed, there are times like tonight when it hits, without warning, and it is so overwhelming and gut-wrenching that I feel paralyzed. And all I can do is sob.

Our New Addition: All I want for Christmas is Elmo Live Encore
http://our-new-addition.blogspot.com/2009/12/all-i-want-for-christmas-is-elmo-live.html
Thursday, December 3, 2009. All I want for Christmas is Elmo Live Encore. After Tyler's finalization we headed out to the mall for a little visit with Santa. I was worried that Tyler would be scared of him and cry, but he didn't! We were the first ones there to greet Santa and there was no line behind us so we got to take a lot of pics. The hardest part was that they would only let you choose one for your photos for the photo cd. Cullen wont get within 5 ft of Santa. December 14, 2009 at 12:18 PM.

The Little O's: November 2008
http://twoeesinapod.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
View my complete profile. Thursday, November 13, 2008. A couple nights ago the girls and I were heading upstairs for bedtime. Emily started saying grace (not really sure why:) . She only got out "Thank you god" when Erin said "for mommy." Such a random, spontaneous moment that warmed my heart. Just like today when she ran into my arms when I picked her up at Grandma and Papa's house. Who doesn't love coming home to that! Tuesday, November 11, 2008. The Ladybug and the Purple Witch. We ended with a wagon ...

The Little O's: January 2009
http://twoeesinapod.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
View my complete profile. Wednesday, January 28, 2009. Erin has needed a haircut for awhile. I have avoided it because that means having to admit she's getting to be a big girl! After snips for snarls and some bang trimming of her own (yep.that's my girl! I finally had to take the plunge. She did great! She was cooperative and enjoyed the attention. Erin is so proud of her new 'do. My baby's getting older.and looks it now, too! Make a Smilebox postcard. Saturday, January 17, 2009. I enjoyed meeting her n...

The Little O's: Cape Cod Vacation
http://twoeesinapod.blogspot.com/2009/07/cape-cod-vacation.html
View my complete profile. Tuesday, July 28, 2009. Make a Smilebox scrapbook. We were finally able to leave on Monday (our rental started on Sunday). Aunt Sharon was very patient waiting to leave. Our house was right on the bay beach so we were able to enjoy the water without taking the girls anywhere since their fevers hadn't broken. Tuesday morning the girls asked if they could just get their feet wet. That turned out to be immersion in full clothing. Very fun! The girls loved seeing the whales and goin...
