Jaeda

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...

Jaeda needed a talking to (she is our first threenager). But she felt asleep while I nursed Lid (so she couldn't hear, I'd wager). She's asked if she could do some school to be like her big brother. She'll do a few and then exclaim, "Oh, please, PLEASE not another!" The long hair in the...

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...

This is not the post in which I tell you my philosophy of education nor even list the curriculum we've chosen. That's a post I'd love to do someday. Really. Details, reasons, objectives. Love all that stuff. But for now, my eyes are a little glazed over...

On Jaeda's birthday, the zoo threw a party for their members. Jaeda was certain it was for her. James took off work, a few family members drove down, and we made a wonderful day of it! Aunt Hoopie still has a broken foot, but all the...
