Jaeda

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...

JAIL Corban takes great joy in organizing his jail and placing his naughty stuffed animal in the middle of the chaos. Sometimes, he calls this school or MOMs group as well. I'm not entirely sure of the correlation of all three locations to this jumble of...

I found this shirt at Kids' Market. This was my first year actually buying clothes for the kids there. And once I saw this shirt with a cute little pig-tailed redhead, I knew I had to have it for Jaeda. Gah, I can't even handle...

You know you've arrived (slash are arriving) when you look at your kid's drawing and can tell what it is! STILL ARRIVING Corban drew our family. Far right: Dad Middle: Mom Top to bottom: Corban, Jaeda, Liddi Squiggly with legs at the bottom: coffee Because coffee is an obvious member of the Steele family. ARRIVED His name...

A couple Saturdays ago, Lena Winn came to record the beauty that is our Liddi with her talented camera fingers. Liddi Biddi rocked her gorgeous red hair and deep blue eyes (for now). She has long fingers, hands, toes, and feet. She loves her hands...

Liddi and I hung out in the pool long enough for the cord to stop pulsing. Then James got his first daddy-daughter moments while I took a much-deserved shower. Apparently, she cried the whole time I was gone. Real tears even, how sad. Jess...

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...

So there's this condition called nesting, and I've got it. The baby's dresser is fully organized (as is the entire room!); pictures have been placed around the main floor (okay, so that's something that should have been done a long time ago, but apparently I just...

Ever since Jen showed back up in our lives a year ago, our mate intake has increased. I give the kids a couple sips throughout the week. Well, except for Jumpy; he/she gets what I get, mmm. Wait. Maybe that's why he's so jumpy! I...
