The benefits of education!
I just love it when one child is old enough to do story time for the next in line. Everyone is excited and there are a few moments of peace...aaaaahhhh.

Adventures of the pregnant homeless lady, #2
YIKES!!! We leave in just a little over 3 weeks. How did this happen so fast? So much still to do but things are coming together. It's time to really get moving...literally.
Anyway, so I was looking at mapquest for some directions and made the mistake of just entering the entire trip in at once, from destination to destination to destination to destination to destination to destination to destination and the totals are: 90 hours 17 minutes, 5711.36 miles.
HOLY COW!
That doesn't even count trips within the trip and stops along the way (I am pregnant...I will give a complete review of public restrooms across the country when we're done). So, the question of the day is...do you have a favorite 'in the car' game or activity? I am feeling very blessed to be a parent during a time of technology...when I was young we just had an 8 track player and some coloring books. Now we have mini dvd players, laptop computers, nintendo ds, ipods, etc. and I fully intend to increase the max 'screen time' way past recommended levels. I have put together some nifty travel journals, purchased new crayons, assembled a car friendly craft box, printed out a map of the US so we can chart our course (and cross off all the liscense plates we see), and gathered some favorite books.
90 hours 17 minutes. We're gonna need some more ideas.
Anyone? Even if you are just here because you clicked on a blog and then clicked on a blog...I don't need to actually know you, I just need some tricks up my sleeve. Wish us luck!

Katherine's new mouth, phase one
So my lovely daughter seems to have inherited her jaw from the Jarvis side of the fam...not so great. We have a long road of orthodontia ahead of us. To start things off we had a few pesky baby teeth removed to get them out of the way. She was a trooper and mostly just enjoyed her day off of school and large amounts of ice cream.
