Where does the time go?
He's such a great baby! Always moving, very expressive with his face, and rarely cries. He's been out to dinner multiple times and on multiple other outings and is a perfect gentlemen! And he sleeps most of the night except waking up briefly to eat.

Comments (4)Hi Libertyblues/Bobby, Yes, I have seeds for you! All specifications were met with the exception of #7. Please take your time in picking out up to 10 items, and email me with your list. Please be sure and include your Member Name in the email. (See #9 above). If you email via the GW email system, please post here that you have sent me an email as the GW system is not always reliable. If you get my email address from the GW email form and then email me from your email program there should be no problem in me receiving it. I'll then send a reply email with the details of mailing the bubble envelope and postage. I look forward to hearing from you and will try to have your seeds out by return mail the day following receipt of your bubblie and postage. This offer is now closed fyi...I will be making similar offers in the future, so if you think you would be interested, check to see that you are all set up to possibly receive the maximum amount of packs of seeds.

Comments (25)We have two kids and are departing soon for a trip to Europe, we will be in the south of France for two weeks and in Holland for one week. In the south of France, we are staying in a house that is located in the Luberon. I drew a circle around the town we're staying in and basically researched the towns within a one hour driving radius. We are then flying via Ryan Air to Holland and staying in an apartment in Amsterdam. The house we're staying in in the south of France is a relatively simple place. My kids are older than yours, but we've made it a priority to pack books and simple arts activities they can do. I expect to buy a jigsaw puzzle. We are bringing a deck of cards, an IPod and a Nintendo DS. There is no TV or internet connection at the house. We've talked to the kids a lot about flexibility. The biggest hassle with the electronic games, is that yes they have the advantage of being small and light, but they need a variety of chargers and power adapters to work with the European electrical current. Radio Shack had the highest prices around, Best Buy was better, but believe it or not, I found electrical equipment in the men's section of Marshalls where they sell things like um, power golf ball washers and the like. I also have purchased and wrapped small items for the children to receive at various times through the trip. Little clay kits from JoAnne bought on sale, they like these, and they cost about $2 each. Calvin and Hobbes books collected from garage sales for about 25 cents each. I sleep mask and ear plugs set, two bucks on sale at KMart. I assemble these and wrap them before we leave -- unwrapping the 'gifts' makes it even more fun for the kids. Oh, crayons and paper are another must. I had my daughter down load a lot of young adult books on CD onto her eye-pod and got an ear phone splitter so two kids can listen to the books on tape on the same Ipod player. Ideally, they'll listen to these in the back of the car while my husband and I talk or listen to our own music up front. We enjoy having down time while we're away, and plan on doing only one 'big' touristy thing a day. When traveling with kids, I like to have a sort of big picture plan, with info about all the sights available in a specific region, but like to play it by ear on a day to day basis, being responsive to people's moods, energy levels, health, etc. I also know in advance that I want to show them certain things, as in categories of things, like in the south of France, it'll be something like one cathedral, one abbey, one art museum, etc. I have a child whose into nature so we've made sure to research natural habitats and will probably get him a book so he and his sister can identify bugs and birds while we're there. I've also taken out library books on the countries we're visiting and left them lying around the kitchen table and we've done some casual thumbing through the pages. I don't force it. I just try to get them thinking a little, and looking at pictures really does that. It's important to remind them that travel is fun but it's also work and some days may be challenging for them. Oh, one more thing, we bring addresses for their friends so they can write postcards. I also take pictures of their friends and keep them stored on the digital camera so they can scroll back and look at the pictures when they feel like they're missing the kids back home....See MoreMovie/Board Game Day in T-Minus 4 Days! :)
Comments (6)Annie, I have never seen that movie, but I have heard it was really good and is a favorite of one of my neighbors. I know the plot of Victor/Victoria, and it does remind me of Tootsie. sleevendog, glad you like the list of movies I have. I've seen them all way more than once. Labyrinth being one from my childhood (it's only 4 years older than I am). My favorite Oreos are the Double Stufs lol. Oreos in general have always been one of my favorite cookies.

Comments (5)Different electrical and electronic devices are susceptible to power anomalies of different types so the fact that "none of the other appliances connected to the same socket are affected nor have any breakers have been tripped" doesn't really mean much . In my experience electricians are often unable to diagnose these types of problems. Your pump failures can be related to water conditions and that should be ruled out but four pump failures in 15 months would seem to me to be a mechanical (incorrectly sized pump or incorrectly installed) or an electrical problem. Make sure the outlet is properly wired... hot, neutral, and proper ground. If that is correct then buy a top quality surge-spike protector from a known manufacturer like Panamax or APC not an el cheapo at Walmart and install that on the pump. If that solves the problem you have your answer. I install online uninterruptible power supply units (UPS) on my water softener and pellet stove to provide surge-spike protection and battery backup. That was a smart move as the control boards for my pellet stove cost $500 and I've never lost one... really cheap insurance. If you choose to do that the UPS must be sized to accommodate the amperage required for the pump and on-line UPS units are costly compared to the less expensive line interactive or stand-by type. Heck, if a $225 online UPS saves you $2400 on pumps then it's a smart move.....See More
