I have no choice but to start up again though, because have you SEEN how awesome this is? I’m going to bust out one of my own now – I went to the fabric store and got a bunch of felt today.

Left to my own devices, I have a messy living space and have for my entire life. I’m trying to keep the house cleaner lately, as it prevents panicked angry cleaning before parties (and freakouts when people drop by), but I am baffled by how to do [...] http://www.minti.com/members/lakeline/blog/1071516/ http://www.minti.com/members/lakeline/blog/1071516/ Sun, 08 Nov 2009 12:44:14 -0800 Lakeline We were expecting our 2007 Outback to last us until it died, like we do with all our cars. However, Subaru then came out with a 2010 model that can fit two giant TrueFit carseats side by side leaving a seat in the rear for an extra passenger. Also, a model that can [...] http://www.minti.com/members/lakeline/blog/1070289/ http://www.minti.com/members/lakeline/blog/1070289/ Wed, 04 Nov 2009 08:46:37 -0800 Lakeline For Beth:(click for a bigger size) http://www.minti.com/members/lakeline/blog/1069691/ http://www.minti.com/members/lakeline/blog/1069691/ Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:29:27 -0800 Lakeline Heh.  Oops.  I get easily distracted blah blah then had to reformat so I lost my password and was lazy more blah blah blah etc.I’m also thinking seriously about password protecting this blog so I can share more specific stuff and not have to worry about the kids’ classmates googling it in 10 years and [...] http://www.minti.com/members/lakeline/blog/1069643/ http://www.minti.com/members/lakeline/blog/1069643/ Mon, 02 Nov 2009 08:57:06 -0800 Lakeline “Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way!Oh what fun to rescue mein a one whore-pen sleigh!”Yes, I realize it’s barely September. She’s been singing it for about 2 years straight now. That said, this iteration of the lyrics is new – and also awesome. http://www.minti.com/members/lakeline/blog/1050438/ http://www.minti.com/members/lakeline/blog/1050438/ Wed, 02 Sep 2009 06:05:10 -0700 Lakeline One of the coolest things about my neighborhood here in Chicago is how it manages to combine just about every possible living situation into one city neighborhood. There are urban, suburban, small town, and even rural areas.Certainly not too many city kids get to drive 5 minutes and go feed the horses and sheep, [...] http://www.minti.com/members/lakeline/blog/1050134/ http://www.minti.com/members/lakeline/blog/1050134/ Tue, 01 Sep 2009 10:30:29 -0700 Lakeline Dorrie went to the preseason Bears game with her Dada on Saturday. http://www.minti.com/members/lakeline/blog/1048189/ http://www.minti.com/members/lakeline/blog/1048189/ Thu, 27 Aug 2009 12:11:28 -0700 Lakeline His 6 month photoshoot: http://www.minti.com/members/lakeline/blog/1046267/ http://www.minti.com/members/lakeline/blog/1046267/ Fri, 21 Aug 2009 11:54:50 -0700 Lakeline Jonas is 6 months old today. He is the sweetest, mellowest, happiest smiliest baby. He is also currently the bitiest, teethingest, drooliest, not-sleepingest baby. http://www.minti.com/members/lakeline/blog/1046005/ http://www.minti.com/members/lakeline/blog/1046005/ Thu, 20 Aug 2009 19:03:56 -0700 Lakeline He just figured out how to blow raspberries a week or so ago.

Some I love, some had white balance or other color issues and were jacked beyond repair, and this one in particular looked like it would be amazing but would not go together with my photo stitching software no matter what I did to it.

There are a lot of things that are still not even close to home-like – sometimes I feel like we’re still living in an apartment waiting to move at any moment. Things like cheap Target bookshelves, decorations waiting to be hung on walls, etc. [...] http://www.minti.com/members/lakeline/blog/1041493/ http://www.minti.com/members/lakeline/blog/1041493/ Sat, 08 Aug 2009 06:09:47 -0700 Lakeline My husband got his little 5 gallon fish tank from his parents’ house a few weeks ago. We figured she would adore having new fish friends and learning to take care of them (with a lot of help from me, of course, I don’t want them to die from overfeeding!).
