Duluth!

Wow I’ve been busy lately & haven’t made time to write (okay well write here…).  Anyway, we took a trip to Duluth just before Halloween & it was so wonderful to see family.  My bro-in-law was home on leave from Iraq & it was fantastic to see him.  We spent a couple days with him […]

Editor’s note: I started writing this on Monday, October 10th.  As you can tell I didn’t get it finished then…it has taken me nearly 2 weeks to finish this post.  Enjoy the flashback. ~nil
This weekend (Oct 8 & 9) was mostly quiet though we did go out both days.  Let me back up […]

Big Brother Days

By On September 17, 2011 · 1 Comment

Magnus is a big brother now.  It came five weeks early & I certainly wasn’t ready for him to be a big boy yet.  I’ve been feeling a little guilty about it in fact.  Going into the hospital like I did left him suddenly without Mom.  It was hard on me so I imagine it […]

Marit Abelin: A Birth Story

By On September 15, 2011 · 2 Comments

Back in January I was feeling tired & just not quite myself.  After talking to Abe I decided to take a home pregnancy test…  Much to our surprise the test was positive.  I was 6 months post-partum with Magnus; I was nursing & another pregnancy was definitely NOT in the plan.  However, like most of [...]

And Then There Were Two

By On September 6, 2011 · 1 Comment
My last post was rather short & left my readers hanging.  Well, I am home after five days in the hospital and I brought a tiny little girl with me.  She had to be delivered via c-section on Thursday September 1, 2011.  She arrived five weeks early and we are so blessed that she is […]

I’ve Got Kids…Now What?!

By On August 24, 2011 · 2 Comments

Nothing compares to having kids.  They are both the joy & bane of any parents’ existence.  Their antics can amuse or frustrate (often times both).  There’s all kinds of blogs, books, seminars & advice on how to raise your children.  I’m not even going to pretend I have any answers.  In the game of being […]

You Want Kids?

By On August 21, 2011 · 2 Comments

The other night I was chatting on Twitter with a couple friends & we were discussing having kids.  It started out being a silly discussion on how I should just let my kids run free range (no diapers) so that I could spend my money on ice cream instead.  One of the ladies said, “I […]

Umm…Surprise?!?!

By On August 18, 2011 · 1 Comment
I am getting closer to my due date & frankly I’m a little freaked out!  I can’t imagine how I’m going to deal with 2 kids within 15 months of each other.  Magnus is a busy little boy & I know things will only get busier when he finally decides that our stairs must be […]

When last we checked it was July 4th weekend & we were spending the weekend with family.  The Sunday of that weekend was reserved for the Erickson family gathering at Aunt ML’s house.  We go nearly every year (missed last year due to recovery from having Magnus) & it is always great to see the […]

General Updates — Part 1

By On August 17, 2011 · Leave a Comment
It’s been a long month…well July was anyway.  We did some traveling, partied, sweated & spent a lot of time being sick.  It was a busy month.  It all started with a trip to the Cities (The Cities, for those of you who don’t live in Minnesota or surrounding states, refers to Minneapolis/St Paul)  over […]
