Corban

Corban and Jaeda have been feeling the work that comes with making money. They are starting to value their efforts, and, after several failed Dollar Tree purchases (failed meaning broke while we were yet in the parking lot), they've also come to appreciate the value...

I do so hate when my babies are sick, but they just never seem to be as still (and precious).  Liddi's started walking right at 13 months (par for the course around here) and was ready to start scootering the next week. Our weekly book one week was The Gingerbread Man, so...

James took Jaeda (or did Jaeda take James) to a Daddy-Daughter Dance. She'd been planning on it for OVER a year. Pearl necklace and all. Our Liddi Bitty turned one. And is all just a blur of movement. I'm lucky to have any pics of her! (Corban is constantly touching, hugging, kissing his baby sister. He...

This post will be a little here, there, and everywhere. I'm trying to squeeze, you know, two months of the kids into a single post. Big breath in. Here goes! Corban has started drawing IDENTIFIABLE objects! We found this website that he can click through himself. Very step-by-step,...

Jaeda is our nurturer and just wants to sit and read Liddi books and smile sweetly all day. But when she's with Corban, watch out! They play fast and furious! Nephew Timmy (and his parents, what were their names, again?) visited this fall. Jaeda loved reading him books (see above). We babysat one evening for a total...

  James makes a car ramp from Christmas gift boxes. Corban lays near registers as chilly air he outfoxes. C Dog plays dress up in our neighbor girls' new bath. And records his favorite things in a chart during math. And finally, his very proudest moment where he starred: turning five and getting books with his own library card. ...

We wanted to visit our Wisconsin family last month. We hadn't visited since Thanksgiving of 2014. You know, I was miserable pregnant, then had an infant, and all of a sudden, it was almost a year later. Whoops. Thankfully, they've been so kind to come to visit us many times! We decided to take...

One thing I like to do (when I find free prints coupons) is print pics for the kids to hang on their beds. You know how you hang pics of you and your friends in high school/college? I'm just trying to send subliminal messages like...
