Jaeda

A couple nights ago, I felt good. Good as in almost great! So we went outside after supper and drew and painted with chalk. Had quite the gathering of neighborhood kids (always my favorite) and even decorated some trees in the process. I was feeling...

We live two doors down from two of the sweetest girls. They have played hours and hours with our kids, riding/running/biking/scootering up and down our sidewalks, giving them our own local Aunt Hoopie and Aunt Abby (don't worry, Aunts; you haven't really been replaced). I've...

Jaeda is a really cool kid. She plays fast, sleeps hard, and eats a TON. She loves to dress up in my heels. I love to put her bouncy hair in pigtails. She's fearless and not afraid to get dirty. So much so that she...

  Last time someone fell asleep in the bike trailer, Corban was complaining that Jaeda's hair was touching him. This time, her hair was still touching him (just can't tame it!), but he was the one asleep! Silly preschooler who thinks he doesn't need a nap every day...

The new kittens were old enough for playing when we went to Michigan a few weekends. (We went for Jon's graduation, but that's being saved for the next post:)) These kittens were super friendly with Corban and Jaeda's rough play. Corban was so patient waiting...
