The other day Gavin and Katie were sitting down at the table to work on their homework at the same time as Ben. Obviously Katie does not have actual homework but she likes to pretend like she does while the boys do theirs. Often times I will put our big ole container of crayons on…
Party Time!
Kids + a gym = loads of fun, right? So we hit The Little Gym for K’s birthday celebration. And I *think* the kids had fun. We’ll let the pics tell the tale…
At Three
My sweet Katie-Kay is three today. Aw, it’s like a little poem. And really, so is she. I have so much joy with her in my life, it’s hard to describe. Of course I love shopping for cute outfits and headbands that she doesn’t leave in her hair for long and brushing her hair and…
Last First Day
We missed “meeting” her teacher, even though she is the SIL of someone that works with Tim and we already know her. I did not go to orientation for the school because one or two of my kids have been going there since we moved here. So, she and I waltzed into her new schoolroom…
Saying Goodbye
Today my wonderful friend and roomie (we will be rooming together for the second time in a row at BlogHer in August) Jennifer, of Mom Made it Look Easy, is here with a sweet guest post for you all, while I’m hanging out at an undisclosed beach location, perhaps sipping some sort of fruity, spiked beverage. Find…
The Bob
On Saturday afternoon she looked like this: And then by Sunday afternoon (and Tuesday morning, second photo) she looked like this: She never leaves anything in her hair (that headband only lasted a little bit) and after the “self cut” she gave herself last month that is taking FOREVER to grow back out, I figured…
Happy 5th to my 2nd!
I found out I was pregnant with Little G while we were on vacation in Florida in early September of 2006. Tim says he knew I was pregnant a few weeks earlier when we went to see my nephew who was born very premature. I was acting a tad erratic (a.k.a b!tchy) and emotional. Don’t…
First Communion Forgetfulness & MEM
I just have to say it is a good thing that God knows we make mistakes because I COMPLETELY forgot about the Friday night rehearsal for The B Man’s First Communion. Thankfully he had already practiced his reading, as well as how to line up and receive the host, the previous Sunday at the retreat they…
So I guess I can extend our zoo membership…
We are staying. It is a really good thing for my husband and for our family. But part of me wants to go. So badly. It is not that I do not like it here. But I like it at HOME better. Parts of my mind try to tell me to believe this can be…
At 2:47 p.m. he’ll be 8
Remember those commercials from a couple of years ago that said at the end, “A baby changes everything“? There is so very much truth to that statement. My life was forever changed the minute my Benjamin was born. just a few days old And now that he is eight years old I am getting to…
