A camera versus tissues (and a girl with silly issues)
There once was a happy little girl named Jaeda who loved to play with her brother’s camera. Her brother Corban also loved to play with said camera, and in fact found the urge to play with it overpowering his desire to love his sister. So he swiped it right from her hands. This made Jaeda ...
While Jaeda naps…
…the big boys paint! And explore. Aiden always loves to explore. “AiDEN! It’s time to paint!” says bossy, task-oriented Corban to exploratory, free-spirited Aiden. Back to work. Aiden much preferred painting the dirt to the sidewalk. Practicing his artistic modeling pose. Enjoy this beautiful weather, y’all! **link to sidewalk chalk recipe**
A lengthy round of what’s new.
Jaeda’s been waking up later and later (read 4:00am and 4:30am instead of 2 or 3am). She eats a full feeding and would sleep again until 9:30am if I let her, but I’m determined to keep her a 1st shift girl. So I wake her up at 7:30 or 8:00 to ensure that she’ll nap twice throughout ...
Some soccer, some happy, and some shoes
Went to the girls’ soccer game while we were in Michigan. Love this pic of Big Sister Abby defending the ball for Little Sister Ruthie. Check out that stride! Get it out, Hoopie! Is that a goalie or is that a ninja?? We also celebrated Mother’s Day. I know moms don’t take lots of pictures with their ...
The Farm
I grew up between country air and towering trees Vibrant flowers and rolling landscapes But observing beauty in nature is not something teens do well And so going back as an adult slams my senses. Here’s a little vision feast of a slice of my folks’ property. Find the bumblebee below. To the back left ...
A nature scavenger hunt.
Jami invited Kira and I and our kids (aww man, they have to come too?) over to her beautiful, newly-built house for a nature scavenger hunt for our boys. Mmm…just smell that new construction! Isn’t it striking? It’s fun ’cause our boys are all 2 1/2 and our girls are all pushing 1. Three mamas, ...
I never used to cry.
I never used to cry at weddings until I got married. Only then did I realize how intensely you can love how critically you can speak how boldly you can share your soul how deeply you can hurt how passionately you can be received how profoundly God will work through His tool of your spouse. ...
That girl and boy.
Corban’s teething again (two-year-molars). I guess it’ll end in time for him to lose these teeth and get more new ones! He keeps chewing and checking, chewing and checking. “I gotta new toof tumin!” Me and my girl. Love her (and for more than just those cheeks). She’s waving, bouncing, dancing, giggling, rolling, rocking, and oh-so-close-to-crawling. Oh. ...
Reading with Grandpa
Grandpa Steele patiently read There’s a Wocket in My Pocket more than once to pleading Corban. Now that’s a great Grandpa! On a side note, congrats to Erin for graduating college (!), and thanks for being far enough away that our house can act as a good resting place! Our friends John and Angie recently babysat ...
Landscaping Project
Crystal’s team from Dynamic Landscaping posted a Living Social deal recently, and as seen from the photo below, we needed something in our front yard! After two full days of four hard-working people sweating, here is our new front yard! (Waiting on our baby grass to grow…) We like that you can see our house ...
