Emma
Emma, our 21-month-old daughter, woke up yesterday with an upset tummy. It wasn’t awful, but she did a “dry heave” and definitely was not herself. I felt so bad for her, but also just could not figure out where she had gotten any sort of a stomach bug from?? We hadn’t been [...]
For the past two weeks I have assumed the role of main caregiver for our five oldest kids, and main caretaker of our household stuff. It’s something I’ve done following the birth of each of the past four kids (pretty sure it started with our daughter, Kirsten) and something I always really look forward [...]

Being my new regular day off, I got up with the kids this morning (Monday), got everyone dressed and fed, and was cleaning up from breakfast when I heard a yell of great frustration from the other room. It was our 15 month old daughter, whom I had left in her high chair while [...]
It all started last Monday. Meaning, ten days ago or so. The previous day we had a mini-birthday party for our oldest daughter, Kirstie. Some friends came over, we played games, we sang birthday songs, we ate birthday cake, we opened birthday presents. It was wonderful. But that night, pretty [...]
I was thinking tonight about how things have happened in my life. I got to chat briefly with a long-time, good friend – Adam – whom I do not get to really share life with any more. He and his family live in another area of the country, and aside from the occasional [...]
I have noticed that with so many children around here, I am needing shortcuts when referring to them every now and again.
We already had “the boys” and “the girls” before for easy pairings. We also call Kirsten & Alex, “The Twins” because they really look a lot alike, and are similar in other ways, [...]
Since computer (and especially blogging) time is limited… please allow me to share some fun stories/thoughts using another list-style post…
Julia just turned two, but she is the smartest cookie in the bunch sometimes. This week she has been really helpful with the laundry. I don’t always know whose clothes are whose, but she [...]
Well, it’s been a little over a week now that we have been home from the hospital with our newest family member, and it’s even been a couple days since any of us has been sick. (Not sure which one of those bits of news is more welcome at this point…)
Today was [...]
It was not a good night in the Campbell house. Perhaps it even goes back most of a week now.
I think I told the story here of coming home with Emma. The night before we came home, our six year old Alex threw up eight times! He was better (mostly) by the [...]
Being that it’s the last few moments of this year’s St. Patrick’s Day, I figured that was a fitting title. And really, it’s very appropriate.
We are now a family of seven, and learning what that means day by day. Of course, our seventh member is not really contributing all that much these days. [...]
