I haven't been posting much, but I am still visiting you guys every day and reading some. The kids are big! Luca just turned 12 and Ilo is 2.5 now. Here are a couple of pictures.

Anyone know anything about it? I've read a lot, it all is making perfect sense to me, but was wondering if anyone has heard of it, knows anyone who is on it, has any personal input at all. It's used a lot for kids/adults with ADD/ADHD and other behavioral issues. I'm sure everyone can google...

So the other day Luca cut his toe and it was bleeding. He sat down to put a bandaid on it and ilo was EXTREMELY interested in the red stuff coming out of his big brother's foot. Luca was saying, "get away! Go ilo! GO!!!" and ilo just wouldn't quit. The Luca said "ILO, GO!!! YOU MIGHT GET...

Just starting to explore this option for my oldest (will be in 6th grade next year). Just wondering if anyone can help me out with any info they may have. I'm looking for an accredited online home school program. Seems like there are a lot of them out there and having a hard time figuring out...

And if you don't celebrate Christmas, what is at the top of your wishlist? Be selfish, think materialistic! For me, I would have to say a Macbook Pro. Or if I was being completely ridiculous, a Subaru Baja Sport (yellow).

ilo looks just like a cinnamon sugar doughnut when he's covered in sand :)

Luca has done AMAZING the first several weeks of school. He was awarded the very first student of the month. This is a huge deal because every year he is the last one to get it. He has matured a lot and is holding his temper and getting along with the other kids. His classmates voted him...

I will just give the short of it for now... My ex is wanting to move to the states, he has for a long time, but now I think he really is making an effort to make it happen within the next 6-12 months. He wants to take our son. I DO NOT want this to happen for many many reasons. The number...

A couple of weekends ago we had a couple of my son's friends over for the whole weekend. They mostly just played around doing this and that inside our little house (it rained the whole time!!). I was trying to just run damage control and keep them fed. On Sunday morning I made a big breakfast...

That is the next storm to be passing through here. We expect her sometime later this morning. We are under curfew from 7pm to 5am, ports are closed, airport will be shutting down at noon. Right now we are just expecting mostly rain, some wind, but nothing too serious. Hopefully that is the...

So last school year, my oldest son got into some trouble with his friend and classmate at school. I received a call from the school and they told me that DS1 'punched X in the face on the playground'. I got the school about 20 minutes after it happened and spoke to both the kids and the...

I've been having some challenges trying to find a good Daily sunscreen for Ilo. Since he is biracial, anything with zinc oxide in it makes him look blotchy and purple (not very cute at all!!). I've found a couple of brands that are pretty good for when we go to the beach, but I was trying to...

But after being away on vacation, and a battle with my computer, I'm having a hard time getting back into the forums. I feel so disconnected after a few weeks off. Is it me, or does it seem like not a lot of posting is going on? Are we too busy? Uninspired? Or is everyone just going through...

Here are some recent pictures. Ilo is getting big! First and last pictures are from Father's Day out at the beach party. All of my boys had a great time. Ilo is soooo in love with Luca.

Luca has started getting really sassy and mean recently. I think that this is what his dad has been talking about for awhile now, but it has never been directed at me, so I need some help trying to figure out how to handle it. His dad has a bad temper and I don't really know what goes on with...

So when is everybody done with the school year this year? And when do you start back up? Luca is out on Tuesday. The very same day he has a major project due that was assigned last Monday. Hmmm...I don't see the logic behind that one! Anyhow... Then we have family beach day on Wednesday...

We started giving Ilo rice cereal over a week ago now and have also introduced green beans, carrots, and pumpkin. Here are some pictures of the green bean and carrot introductions!

I <I>know</I> this isn't the Ilo forum :) But I just had to share this video I took yesterday of my little spit monster in action <YOUTUBE id="ASN0_a1fDNc" url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASN0_a1fDNc">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASN0_a1fDNc</YOUTUBE>

Ilo fell asleep like this....feet in the air, sucking thumb through the ring on a toy. He stayed like that for about 25 minutes :) And the other one...well, who wouldn't want to fall asleep under their own little palm tree? I mean, one that isn't a coconut palm :)
