Micah
micah/IMG_0469.jpgMicah had his two month check up on Friday. He’s up to 13.5 lbs. He’s been smiling a little more, and is doing a good job of holding up his head. Tom, can we keep him? Pleeeeease?

Beer Brewing
Next Saturday, we’ll be making our beer for the summer – to be unbottled for the first time at our Annual Pig Roast on May 30th. We’ll be making an Irish Red Ale and a Bavarian Weizenbier (wheat beer). Some of our friends will be helping make the beer. I’m sure pictures will be posted. […]

PicsOfKids/4kids2Today, I took the children to get their picture taken. I had a coupon for a free sitting and free 8×10. Everything was fine until we got into the studio room.

Happy Birthday Thomas!
4thBD/IMG_0314 Thomas turned four on March 2nd!! (Click on pic for more party photos.) I had started to write a blog entry on his birthday, but didn’t get it done on the same date. I didnt’ want it buried in the blog, so I left the date as today’s. The first thing he did on […]

Micah’s Week in Review
It is hard to believe that today is the beginning of a new week. So much happened last week, it seems as though much more time has elapsed. Last Saturday, at Kate’s shower, a friend of Kate’s remarked that the last time there was a pregnant lady at the wedding shower she had attended “she […]

New Baby Boy!
album10/IMG_0244Awesome! Micah Stephen Albrecht introduced himself to our family this evening. Both Sarah and baby are doing just fine. Sarah was amazing! We got to the hospital at 5:30, and she started experiencing heavy labor around 6:15. Micah was born 77 minutes later, at 7:33pm. Here are the stats for those who keep track of […]

Aiden’s New Era of Freedom
Aiden has learned to climb in and out of his pack-n-play crib. We have a second pack-n-play in the living room and, this morning, I walked into the living room and there he was playing with his toys in the playpen. Hmm… I didn’t put him in there! And then, after his nap this afternoon, […]

Tumble-Bumble
album05/IMG_0421Aiden fell down this morning. Anyone who knows my son also knows that falling down is not newsworthy enough to write about. This was different. When I came in the backdoor after taking the trash out this morning, Sarah was sitting at the kitchen table with Aiden in her lap and tears in her eyes. […]

Nothing to Cough At
This week, at the high recommendation of some close friends, we made the brave move to take our children to a new pediatrician. Not only was the practice awesome (excellent medical (and gentle) care, smaller practice, kid-friendly environment) , but the doctor gave us a sample of ElixSure for our children’s non-stop coughing from their […]

Of Mice
Winter-2004/brownmouseThe other night, while the ladies were at our house for Bible study, Tabitha, who has a terrible cold, decided she no longer wanted her lemonade. Not wanting to waste a cup of lemonade, she poured it back into the main pitcher. I grabbed the pitcher and put it in the kitchen before anyone else […]

Commission Meeting
Yesterday, Sarah and I met with the Judicial Commission from Heritage Presbytery over our recent complaints. It was difficult for me to imagine it possible for anything but a decisive answer to come from the Commission, so it surprises me now to say that I really have no idea how it went. Of course, if […]

Rubies and Bottles
Quotes of the day from the kids: During lunch, we had red grapes today (instead of the usual green – the red were much fresher at the store this week). After we rinsed the grapes, and set them on the table, Thomas exclaimed “Mom! They look like RUBIES!” As Tabitha was preparing for her nap, […]
