A nature scavenger hunt.
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, ...
A Seder: Old Traditions Revived
Set the floor with your place settings. (Leave one for Elijah!) One glass for water, one for juice/wine. Pack ‘n play for the wee ones (although they did get to participate as well!). Fellowship with beautiful, soul-filling friends. Reading, responding, singing. Reminding ourselves of the Israelites’ journey, our similarities, and our differences because of Christ! ...
Walking through Warsaw
Aunt Heather made this gorgeous thick blanket. We used it on one of our sunny walks, where a blanket was all you needed. The next week, our new friend Annika joined us on our walk to the library. (Yes, that’s some leftover freezing rain on the stroller! This weather is taking us on an emotional roller coaster ...
From my phone
Jessica and Jaeda are sure friends. Only 3 months between them. Jaeda was completely smitten (with her zipper, that is). I’d say the feeling’s mutual. Jaeda sat in the front of the cart for her first time!! Caption this picture: “Money, money, money!” (You think of a better caption?) Brother Corban riding on the end. ...
Kid crafts that don’t work.
If you’ve kept in touch with us much through this blog, you well know that I love doing crafts with kids. As in, it’s thrilling for me to help little ones experience the joys of glue and paint and stickiness and pom poms and scents and mess and paper towels. But for every great project ...
Toddler Volcanoes
It should come as no surprise that this idea was found on Pinterest. Sprinkle baking soda in the bottom of a dish. Pour vinegar into separate small bowl. Add food coloring to vinegar. Using a medicine syringe/dropper, squeeze some vinegar onto the baking soda. Watch the bubbly magic happen. Some mommy help was definitely needed. ...
A mid-January walk
50 degrees in January?? We’ll take it! Jaeda’s content so long as she can chew. Our green/brown/hazel-eyed friend. Big “brother” Corban demonstrating how to place one’s hat on one’s head. This day was such a rejuvenating, refreshing, life-giving, soul-filling day. Gift-naming was easy today.
One Thursday Morning
We painted pumpkins last week. Corban looooves painting. Love Corban’s silly expression here. So focused. So detailed. Aiden was super interested in the box of paints. Don’t worry, Aiden, your art time will come soon! The way the sunlight struck the flowers overwhelmed me. Beauty is right here. “Doodloo,” says Corban when he colors. And ...
Playdate
It’s so fun to have playdates to watch the kids learn to interact with other little people … and to chat with other moms too, of course. We recently had our friends EJ, Becca, and Mom Karey over to play with playdough and do some spray painting (water + food coloring). The most requested formation ...
