Corban

Out of order for this picture They both want to be by Sister -Can I give her one more hug? -Let's just make it not too snug. Picked all the flowers in our backyard Just with grass greens they now bombard. First music program full of singing (But mostly just their small arms...

After riding a two-wheeler with training wheels most of last summer, we had Corban try a balance bike. It took him a while to push his feet against the ground versus pedals. But he became quite adept at it and was lifting his feet up, gliding,...

My sister Anna got both kids a little present when Liddi was born. Jaeda got a color game (IT WORKED; SHE'S FINALLY LEARNED {most of} HER COLORS!), and Corban got this chore chart. He's been asking about money for, oh, a year or so. So...

Liddi is loved. The smush-faced, sloppy-kiss, slightly-too-roughly-squeezed kind of love. The kind only given by siblings. Corban is absolutely smitten with her. He can't take his eyes off her and holds her constantly. He was ready for a rare break the other day. Auntie Anna...

We got a good snow over a week ago and were determined to use the sunny, slightly melty Saturday afterwards to build a great snowman. Especially because Friend/Neighbor/Former CoWorker Imelda had given us a snowman kit as a present! It was a great morning quite...
