The W Family Chronicles

Enough of the ranting already…

Posted by: Melissa W on: January 31, 2008

I know, you’ve heard my opinion on entirely too much lately. (Though did I mention I was quoted in the local paper in a story about the tax rebates?) I’ve been in an angry phase, apparently.  I’m in a much better mood these days.  A tad disappointed that McCain and Hilary won Florida.  [...]

Thanks Mr. Bush and friends.

So apparently the W family can expect a tax rebate in the neighborhood of about $1800 sometime this spring or summer.  Great.  We’ll be using it to pay off the 3 surgeries I had for kidney stones last year, J’s humongous OT bills, and C’s helmet.  (Yes, we’re still making payments on it!)  Sorry we [...]

Lactation Angst, part 2

Posted by: Melissa W on: January 24, 2008

Yeah, yeah. I know this discussion freaks some of you out. Don’t read it if it’s going to bother you because I truly do not need any more negative comments today about the fact that I’m *still* breastfeeding my baby. I understand you think it’s weird/gross/unnecessary or whatever. I kind of [...]

The dentist and other forms of torture.

Posted by: Melissa W on: January 16, 2008

I am possibly the most negligent mom *ever* because J, at the age of 5, has never been to the dentist. I know this is bad. I know it’s way past time for him to be getting regular cleanings and all of that. I know this, and yet I haven’t taken him [...]

Crapplebee’s

Posted by: Melissa W on: January 4, 2008

Those who know me well know that I am *super* anal about safety with my kids.  J is still in an “infant” convertible seat in the car and C is still rear-facing at 18 months because it’s just so much safer.  Helmets while riding bikes, trikes, scooters, etc. are non-negotiable.  So when I go out [...]

And a Happy New Year, too.

Posted by: Melissa W on: January 1, 2008

I obviously didn’t get back with pics.  We left the day after Christmas for a few days with our families in Tennessee and got back last night.  Pics later today, I promise!
As for Christmas, we had a wonderful one.  My favorite gift was the new iPod nano I got.  It’s the PRODUCT(RED) version and it [...]


W Family Players

D is the dad, the husband, and the breadwinner. All around nice guy and good at pretty much everything he does. It's disgusting, really. But makes him worth keeping around.

M is the mom, the wife, and the hopeless housekeeper. At least the kids' heads haven't fallen off yet. Beyond that, she sucks at the "stay at home" thing. Oh, and she's the blogger.

J is the big boy. Born October 11 2002, he is in kindergarten and loves it. Now 6 years old, and too smart for his own good. Talks a lot but extremely entertaining.

C is the little boy. Born June 26, 2006, he went through a lot in his first year but is doing just fine now. The only blond in the family, so his paternity is routinely questioned by rude strangers.

V is our baby girl. She is brand new and arrived in January 2009. So far everything is going well. We're thrilled to have added the final piece to our family puzzle. And yes, she WILL be the final piece!
