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...

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...

Last week, we had the rain storm to top all rain storms. At least 20 minutes of downpour. Liddi and Jaeda were still sleeping when the rain started. Corban and I ran out to the porch in awe of the sheer power of the torrent. Neighbor...

One day, there was a mom who didn't know where they were going. This didn't seem to bother the son, since he had been given a rare car snack. And the daughter tended to not worry about anything anyway. And the baby just wanted milk in her belly at all times, no matter...

Having Mother's Day close to your birthday (ohmyword am I talking about my birthday again?!) is the best. A week's worth of celebrations or extra sweet nothings (like drinking juice for breakfast mmm). This Mother's Day, we felt like celebrating with another family, a mom whose...
