It's a Jungle in Here: December 2009
http://mergenthalerschmidt.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
It's a Jungle in Here. Experiences in raising my children to be pinko commie tree-hugging bleeding-heart liberals. Catching up: washington vacation. Since we're leaving on Friday to spend Christmas and New Year's in Washington with Greg's family, I thought it was about time I got around to posting about our summer vacation there. And trips to the beach:. I believe that was Evan's first time at the Pacific Ocean.). We went to the Hoh Rainforest. We hiked to Royal Basin. A lake that is only reached after c...

It's a Jungle in Here. Experiences in raising my children to be pinko commie tree-hugging bleeding-heart liberals. Friday photos: thanksgiving edition. We spent Thanksgiving at my mom's house, as we do every year. Only one of my sisters was able to come, and we had a slightly shorter vacation than usual, due to both of my sons having school on Wednesday, but despite those things we still had a fun long weekend. I am in love with this carousel. The animals are all animals native to New York State, and...

It's a Jungle in Here: 2012

It's a Jungle in Here. Experiences in raising my children to be pinko commie tree-hugging bleeding-heart liberals. I'm not the resolution type (because I'm terrible at following through and finishing what I start! I'm hoping to go into more details in some future posts, but I'll touch on some of the biggest events of the last year. We took the kids on a weekend vacation to an indoor water park; the kids went white-water rafting for the first time; and Greg and I went to a concert for the first time in ye...

It's a Jungle in Here: September 2009
http://mergenthalerschmidt.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
It's a Jungle in Here. Experiences in raising my children to be pinko commie tree-hugging bleeding-heart liberals. Evan had his first day of preschool this morning. It was a strange feeling, dropping him off and getting back into the car with Greg beside me and an empty back seat behind us. James started nursery school for the first time when he was younger than Evan is now, yet Evan still seems so small. Our little baby, all grown up, with his new big-kid backpack and everything. Sniff. We spent some ti...

It's a Jungle in Here. Experiences in raising my children to be pinko commie tree-hugging bleeding-heart liberals. I'm a month late with your birthday letter, but surely after eight years of living with me and your dad, you've learned that punctuality is not something we're known for, nor does it run in the family, so I know you'll forgive me. I know this, too, because you're a forgiving sort of person, quick to move on, never holding a grudge. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Adventur...

It's a Jungle in Here: October 2010
http://mergenthalerschmidt.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
It's a Jungle in Here. Experiences in raising my children to be pinko commie tree-hugging bleeding-heart liberals. A letter to my brother-in-law. I only got to know you for nine years, which was not nearly long enough. And if nine years can produce so much grief, how much worse must it be for those who knew you and loved you for decades, for your whole life? And there were so many who loved you - who wouldn't love you? How do you say goodbye to someone you didn't even know was going to be leaving? The Ad...

It's a Jungle in Here: June 2009
http://mergenthalerschmidt.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
It's a Jungle in Here. Experiences in raising my children to be pinko commie tree-hugging bleeding-heart liberals. We really started our summer fun before school was out though, with weekend activities like strawberry picking, a Father's Day visit to the science museum to see some nature films, Father's Day brunch at our favorite diner, and two or three trips a week to various parks where Greg and I have been playing lots and lots of frisbee. I don't expect to be blogging much this summer - there's just ...

It's a Jungle in Here: now we are six
http://mergenthalerschmidt.blogspot.com/2011/06/now-we-are-six.html
It's a Jungle in Here. Experiences in raising my children to be pinko commie tree-hugging bleeding-heart liberals. Now we are six. I failed to write you a birthday letter when you turned five, so now I've got a lot of lost time to make up for. You turned six today! You took your time getting into reading, but once you got the hang of it you quickly became a pro. Now you read stories aloud with perfect expression and barely any stumbles at all. You're a huge fan of comics, but you're beginning to ...

It's a Jungle in Here: trivial pursuit for kids
http://mergenthalerschmidt.blogspot.com/2009/12/trivial-pursuit-for-kids.html
It's a Jungle in Here. Experiences in raising my children to be pinko commie tree-hugging bleeding-heart liberals. Trivial pursuit for kids. My kids love to play games, any kind of games. Video games, computer games, pretend games, guessing games, board games. James, especially, love games so much that he's constantly making up his own or playing games by himself. If he doesn't know the rules to a game he'll invent them. His games are always terrifically complicated. Evan: Why doesn't sand evaporate?
