Family Forum / Parenting / Mothers / November 2005De-lurking - Again
Hello all, I am de-lurking---again. I posted for a bit a while ago but then I got way too busy and needed to take a break. Many of you probably don't remember me so here is a mini-intro. I live in Vermont with my DH of 13 years and my kids, DS1 (11), DS2 (7) & DD(4). We moved to VT from MI 6 years ago and have been loving it. I am currently a SAHM but have my degree in Early Childhood Education which I am hoping to put to use again when my DD starts kindergarten. I am hoping to post more frequently so I will "see" you around!

Yeah, now there's TWO of us in Vermont! Hi Melis! I'm Aula, probably lived in Florida when you posted last, moved 'home' to Vermont a year ago. Mom to DS10, married to wonderful homeschooling hubby and work for the State. Hope you can post more! -Aula  SignatureBefore the beginning of great brilliance, there must be chaos.

Now that you mention it, I think I remember someone brining up the fact that one of the alt.moms was moving to Vermont - it must have been you! If you don't mind me asking, where in VT are you? We are in Burlington. I hear snow may be on the way!!! Melis MelisaK mentioned in passing : > Well hello neighbor!

We, in the other end of the state, are expecting potential flooding....... -Aula, off to explore keene to find out what kinds of craft stores they might have there......

I'm Dorothy, grandmother to 3 year old dgd and 19 month old dgs. I have taught preschool and high school in the Chicago area, but we have moved because the son, dil and grandchildren moved. -- Dorothy There is no sound, no cry in all the world that can be heard unless someone listens .. The Outer Limits >>Hello all, >> [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > The Outer Limits Hi Dorothy, Wow - preschool and high school, both ends of the spectrum :-) When we lived in MI, we would visit Chicago occasionally - we LOVE Chicago!!! We are hoping to get there this summer on our way to or from MI. Some of our favorites are the Shedd Aquarium and the Field Museum. The last time when we were there (about 7 years ago) there were staring to put together "Sue", the most complete T-Rex ever found - at that time. My MIL and FIL moved to VT shortly after we did. DH is their only child and our kids are the only grandkids. Sounds like we have a lot in common! Melis >Hi Dorothy, > >Wow - preschool and high school, both ends of the spectrum :-) And everything in between - did Girl Scouts with my dd all through elementary, middle school and high school. > When we lived in MI, we would visit Chicago occasionally - we >LOVE Chicago!!!

The last time when we were >there (about 7 years ago) there were staring to put together "Sue", >the most complete T-Rex ever found - at that time. We were just back due to Hurricane Katrina. Took my dgd to both Shedd Aquarium and and Field Museum. She loved both. The newest Field Museum exhibit is the Underground Bugs (My dd actually worked on that when she lived in Chicago - she's a technical theater person and briefly worked at the Field Museum just before she left the area). We also took her to the Museum of Science and Industry and a smaller Children's Museum in the suburbs. And we visited Lamb's Farm and Navy Pier with her as well. I would really love to have stayed in the Chicago area, but my son's job is down here and so we all returned to Louisiana in November. If you visit and like theater, I highly recommend *Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind* (not for kids). It's a uniquely Chicago show - 30 plays (skits) in 60 minutes. Fun and silly. Some things might be a bit too Chicago politics for you though. They tend to be pretty topical on local politics. The Neofuturians are a very odd bunch of actors and actresses. >My MIL and FIL moved to VT shortly after we did. DH is their only child and >our kids are the only grandkids.

I think we went to one called Zaneys(????) when we were in Chicago. >>My MIL and FIL moved to VT shortly after we did.
