Saturday morning both boys had their first soccer game of the season. And it was G’s very first soccer game (although it might also be his last -I’ll explain in a bit…) First, pictures of happier times… Little G was MOST excited to put on his uniform for the first time, except he’s not really…
11 Hours a Week!
I somehow found myself with 3 whole hours to myself this morning. How did this happen you ask… Well, it’s because all three of my kiddos are now in some sort of “school”! I took Little G and Baby K for their first day at their same school today. K is technically in “Mother’s Day…
A food tower, a handmade dress and a 2nd grader…
You like random right? Good, ’cause that’s what you get today. This was part of my lunch the other day Don’t you want to eat it? I want to eat it again but alas, I have no mozzarella. Phooey. If food could talk this food would say “I’m really delicious, you must eat me now!” I…
22 months is REALLY close to 2 years…
I don’t know what I thought it would be like to have a girl. I knew it would be different of course but I didn’t know how different. Meaning both that it’s a lot different in general and also, in so many ways. I do think we go easier on her sometimes because she’s a…
just an ordinary day…
This morning I found four June bugs belly-up on the windowsill in the kitchen. It’s a long windowsill that sits below some of my favorite windows to look out. I had this silly thought that perhaps they were dying because June was almost over. Kind of sounds like something my 7-year old might come up with,…
And POOF! just like that, she’s a full-on toddler!!
After I got this video up and running The B Man watched it and said, “Mommy! It’s like Kay-Kay can read!! Did you buy her ‘Your Baby Can Read’?! That’s amazing!” Oh son, we are SO cutting down on how much time you spend watching the cartoon channel. Sorry. Anyway, here’s a cute video of…
So here we are at 20 months and 5 days.
I could sense Baby K walking into the kitchen one morning last week as I sat checking my email in the next room (the living room, that is). Things got WAY too quiet and within a minute she had used her counter-height eating chair to climb up on the counter and was STANDING on top of it….
Missing Things
You know that old saying that you don’t miss something until it’s gone? Well, my oldest is currently hanging out with his Mother Bear (what the kids call Tim’s Mom) this week and guess what? I miss him. It’s been less than 24 hours since I gave him a hug goodbye. Then he eagerly jumped…
Happy (early) Birthday to my Little G (it’s on Sunday)!!!
When Little G was born we bonded pretty quickly. He nursed like a champ before we left the hospital and because I did not return to work after his birth, we were always together. I still feel a certain bond to him that is somewhat indescribable. At four years old he is a fierce snuggler…
Happy 7th to my 1st!
This little bundle made me a “Mommy” seven years ago today. This is one of my favorite pictures of him ever taken (at age 2). He no longer has those two front baby teeth. Today he is a soccer playing, reading, writing, joke-telling, brother and sister-loving, sweet, sensitive boy. His blue eyes are just like…
