Friday, April 27 at 4:41pm Jonah Daniel made his grand appearance into this world. He was 5 lb 14 oz and 20.2″ long. Friday morning I was rudely awakened. It seemed as though I had wet my favorite PJ pants. So for about 37th time, I headed off to the bathroom. It was then that [...]
Nested.
Even though I have only known that I was preggo for 12 weeks, I am currently clocking in at 36 weeks pregnant. Pretty wild. For the past several weeks, things have been a bit of a whirl. We have had fun seeing lots of friends. Lots of family. And checking MANY things off of the [...]
Easter Egg Huntin’
One of the coolest, most joyful, happiness-making part of being a parent is watching your kids have fun together. Today Joshua’s class had an Easter Egg Hunt, families were invited to watch. So, with camera in hand, this cheesy mama arrived early. Isaac was pumped because there was a toy trash truck in the playground [...]
Updates.
It is about time that I send out an update on the Team Clarke household. THE ORIGINAL DUDES. Joshua. He is doing exceptionally well in school. There are even two neighbors in his class of just 8 kids. It is so nice to already have friends. Each day when I pull into the carpool line, [...]
BIG day.
Today was a big day. Here is some, err, a LOT of background. In recent months, Mike and I have been wrestling with where and when and even IF we send Joshua to school. Do we start with pre-school at age 5? Do we send him to kindergarten in the fall? Is he secure enough [...]
How do you explain it.
Today we are off to the local SSN office to secure the boys SSN’s. Who knew that you needed those to file taxes. I picture it to be a lot like the DMV, I am hoping for the best. I love adoptions and all of the big, God-Sized lessons that it can teach us. But [...]
The Dude Ranch
2011 has been a blur, marked by highs, lows, and a certain electricity that is generated by two balls of energy, looking to spark some chaos before they implode. Now we know….little dudes are crazy. Rookies raising two little dudes is down right exhausting. So 2011 was our year of firsts and 2012 was scheduled [...]
Isaac turned 3!
I am a huge fan of birthdays. It is the one day the entire year where YOU are celebrated and honored and spoiled. Birthdays are super special. Birthdays are exceedingly more special though when you have never celebrated one before. This was the first time that Isaac was celebrated and honored and spoiled. Yesterday was [...]
Let’s Recapture.
It seems that Team Clarke has NOT updated in a while. Perhaps this is a trend. We have missed some major events. Like Christmas. And Joshua’s 5th birthday party (which was at the fire station, it was pretty awesome). This Saturday is Isaac’s 3rd birthday and we are going to the aquarium in Baltimore. Isaac [...]
