I don’t know what made me think of this recently (talking with another mom about antibiotics, maybe?), but I’m wondering if any of you have ever experienced severe allergic reactions in your kids (or yourself) before. ‘Cause we certainly have around here. And because I like to document significant Diehl family history, I thought [...]

If you’ve been reading here for a while, you know that Bennett was, ahem, an interesting, shall we say, 2 and 3-year-old. Even the beginning of 4 was a bit rocky.
But as I’ve thought back on the last six months or so, I can’t help but think, thank God, that all was a stage! [...]

As I’ve suspected in the past, along with two-year-molars comes two-year-old behavior. This was confirmed last week when Jack Henry’s first molar popped through and his behavior, that VERY day, turned into that of a toddler.

I’m the first to admit that up to this point, we have done a lousy job of teaching our children about the Advent season. We do try to talk about the season being all about Jesus and his birth and what that means for us, but we haven’t done anything tangible in the past [...]

First of all, addendum to yesterday’s post:
-I regularly forget Luke’s snack on Tuesdays since I don’t pack him a lunch on that day. Yep, it happened today.
-I did not get mooned today. Yay for me.
Friday was not my best performance as a mom. Yes, we were just coming off some major sickness [...]

So. Katie had this great post a while back about “truth-in-blogging,” if you will. The idea that sometimes, bloggers only show you the shiny, happy moments and gloss over what’s really going on. (Katie: I planned to just comment on your post, but alas, Blogger was cranky that day and I couldn’t [...]

We discovered Luke’s first loose tooth several months ago…probably in early spring. It got pretty wiggly in June, and Matt and I predicted it would be out by the 4th of July.
Fast forward to one week ago, when the tooth was still. in. his. mouth. And while it had gotten much looser, and [...]

(borrowing that title, unfortunately, from Robin, who has already been through what I’m just starting!)
Yep. Luke’s got it.
I just got an email from his teacher saying that more than half of the kids in his class are home sick today. Not surprising after Luke came home from school on Tuesday and told me [...]

Happy 2nd Blogoversary to Kristen at We Are THAT Family! I found her blog because she took over Works for Me Wednesday last year, and I immediately added her to my Google Reader. I love that she’s not afraid to blog about it all – the ups and downs of marriage and parenting [...]
