Corban loves music. He dances, sings, bounces, rhymes, drums, strums, and pounds. Although he still refers to it as “mimi” (why??), his love for this art continues to grow. We were so grateful to take part in a free Jesus-focused music class last fall to this spring. Not only did it become a highlight of ...
School’s out for the summer…which means I’m done babysitting for the summer! Which is a total joke for those of you who know me. Of course I’ll still be watching kids here and there. It’s in my DNA or something. (Is there a babysitter gene?) Just nothing formal or consistent, which is the exciting part! ...
There once was a happy little girl named Jaeda who loved to play with her brother’s camera. Her brother Corban also loved to play with said camera, and in fact found the urge to play with it overpowering his desire to love his sister. So he swiped it right from her hands. This made Jaeda ...
…the big boys paint! And explore. Aiden always loves to explore. “AiDEN! It’s time to paint!” says bossy, task-oriented Corban to exploratory, free-spirited Aiden. Back to work. Aiden much preferred painting the dirt to the sidewalk. Practicing his artistic modeling pose. Enjoy this beautiful weather, y’all! **link to sidewalk chalk recipe**
Jaeda’s been waking up later and later (read 4:00am and 4:30am instead of 2 or 3am). She eats a full feeding and would sleep again until 9:30am if I let her, but I’m determined to keep her a 1st shift girl. So I wake her up at 7:30 or 8:00 to ensure that she’ll nap twice throughout ...
Jami invited Kira and I and our kids (aww man, they have to come too?) over to her beautiful, newly-built house for a nature scavenger hunt for our boys. Mmm…just smell that new construction! Isn’t it striking? It’s fun ’cause our boys are all 2 1/2 and our girls are all pushing 1. Three mamas, ...
Corban’s teething again (two-year-molars). I guess it’ll end in time for him to lose these teeth and get more new ones! He keeps chewing and checking, chewing and checking. “I gotta new toof tumin!” Me and my girl. Love her (and for more than just those cheeks). She’s waving, bouncing, dancing, giggling, rolling, rocking, and oh-so-close-to-crawling. Oh. ...
Can’t go over it, can’t go around it, gotta go a different way. #itswaterovertheroad We got us some knock-knock friends. “I wanna wear da bee suit. No, I can’t wanna wear it. But I wanna wear it. Nooo!” #toddlerdecisionmaking #funatthelibrary Friend James helped Dad James hook up our bike trailer. And when I say helped, I ...
Lots of projects in the works. Cutting, punching, slicing–getting our kid art projects ready for Saturday’s Art Gala at CCC. Making a Pear-Almond Cake for the event as well. A cinnamon browned butter frosting. Fancy schmancy! Oh. And the same day happens to be our neighborhood spring picnic. My neighborhood gals came over and helped me ...
