Leinenbach Family: Ella's 2nd Birthday
http://leinenbachfamily.blogspot.com/2009/01/ellas-2nd-birthday.html
Sunday, January 11, 2009. Ella turned 2 years old on July 12th. She has been such a source of joy and happiness in our family. When Ella turned 1 I was convinced she was going to be a tough child since she was such a hard baby, but fortunately I was completely wrong. Ella has turned into an angel child! She still has her stubborn streak and definitely has an opinion about things, but is such a wonderfully fun and sweet child. We just love her more than we could ever say! Ella and me on the boat.

Sunrise, Sunset: FACEBOOK
http://little-kidlets.blogspot.com/2009/01/facebook.html
Monday, January 5, 2009. All I have to say is:. OMI-goodness.yes it is.try farming! You'll feel so self-reliant ;) (virtually, hehe). January 6, 2009 at 2:20 PM. You do start to get a certain obsession with looking at people and wondering if they are looking at you. We're all basic narcissists, really. Facebook just makes it harder to hide it! January 7, 2009 at 7:57 AM. Just a quick comment- I have to get back to my facebook page. January 7, 2009 at 1:30 PM. TOO TRUE. :). January 7, 2009 at 4:12 PM.

Sunrise, Sunset: November 2008
http://little-kidlets.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 12, 2008. So Denise tagged me like a month ago, and I am finally getting around to it. At least I'm doing it, right? So, it was a photo tag, and I was to go to the sixth folder in my photos and post the sixth photo. This is a picture of Briona when she was 3. She fell asleep while reading a book. "Like mother, like daughter", as Daniel would say. He has taken very similar pictures of me (which I'm not going to post). I tag Maralee, Chelsea, and Amy (again)! Tuesday, November 4, 2008.

Istanbul Adventures: October 2008
http://mattybondfamily.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 20, 2008. It was so great to have Matt here this week. Amelia had fun with her Daddy, but after dealing with Amelia all day for a week, I think Matt's ready to get back to work. Matt commented that Amelia "owes us" for all we've been put through with her over the last 2 years. A few events of the week:. It was so nice to get out and enjoy the beautiful fall weather. Of course, Amelia loved the petting zoo at the Zoo. Watching princess and alphabet songs on YouTube with daddy. And so did I.

Feelin' Thelin?: Hot Chelle Rae Thelin Style

Monday, October 3, 2011. Hot Chelle Rae Thelin Style. I just made this video for fun. Everything isn't perfect and you wouldn't see it on MTV but my kids love it. I hope you enjoy it too. I have so many things to say about that video! First of all, Im so impressed that you put it all together! Thank goodness for iMovie. And how fun that you would help you family/kids make a music video. Its obvious that they were ALL enjoying it! And what a good sport Justin was to help out as backup singer! Why do we ha...

Sunrise, Sunset: March 2008
http://little-kidlets.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 28, 2008. Who needs a routine! I don't usually blog at 5:30 in the morning. I usually prefer to be sleeping. However blogging is exactly what I'm doing. "Why? Let's just say I'm not good at doing the whole single parent thing. I don't know how others do it. (I know Denise, I should just "suck it up"). Daniel and my mom left last night for Utah. (More on the reason for that below). They will be gone 3 days. Although I can. Oh well, one night (or maybe two) without rules or routine won't hurt.

Istanbul Adventures: May 2010
http://mattybondfamily.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 31, 2010. Life's Full of Ups and Downs. This week started out with lots of "ups.". MONDAY: We went to Emirgan park with JoAnne. Who knew there were parks like this in this crowded, crazy city? It was amazing. A dozen different play areas, a huge pond with bridges and water fountains, and hundreds of picnic tables in endless groves of trees. In April, the park is full of tulip sculptures and the park is insanely crowded on weekends, but on Monday, the place was all ours. Now we have to find a ...

Istanbul Adventures: July 2008
http://mattybondfamily.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 30, 2008. Amelia is loving cherries - we have them as a snack almost every afternoon - but it only takes a few minutes to go from slightly messy to full-on covered in cherry juice. I got the most amazing video clip of her reaction when she sees her messy face, but it's too big of a file to post. bummer. Thursday, July 24, 2008. I just wanted to post some pictures from the last couple of weeks. Amelia is very good at eating her vegetables - she LOVES tomatoes. Coloring in her boots :).

Istanbul Adventures: Motherhood is Still Hard in Turkey
http://mattybondfamily.blogspot.com/2010/06/motherhood-is-still-hard-in-turkey.html
Tuesday, June 8, 2010. Motherhood is Still Hard in Turkey. To have a good attitude, but it hasn't been easy. I am hoping. Things will get better when we move to our permanent apartment and can feel more settled, have more of our "stuff" from our air shipment, and have more things to do. It WILL be better, I will be happy, my kids will by happy.(positive mantras). And speaking of "apartment," we FINALLY have one! And we move in this weekend! She came up with that pose all on her own. Chase loves the water.

Sunrise, Sunset: New Years Day
http://little-kidlets.blogspot.com/2009/01/new-years-day.html
Sunday, January 4, 2009. This New Years day will be one that we'll remember for awhile. It started out great. Then at about 10:30 we got the phone call. In a panicked voice my mom told us that the basement was flooded and that we should get home quick. Daniel rushed over, but I took a little more time, assuming it probably wasn't all that bad. Well, I was wrong. The whole basement had been effected, some areas at least an inch and a half deep. Daniel, my mom, myself, and George (what a saint! I just have...
