Doesn’t everyone dress up in ball gowns (and sock gloves) on a Saturday morning?

Eleven Years and Counting!

The kids think this is a good theme song for our anniversary today! We may not have a dozen highly talented singer/dancer/performers, but our four are pretty cute.
Mornings with an Injured Mommy
Posted in Elizabeth, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Jul 29th, 2015
Since it takes me so long to get myself up and ready for the day with one foot, I haven’t been leaving my bedroom until I’m fully dressed and booted up, often not until 8 am! (I made the mistake on Monday of getting up and NOT getting my boot on right away–and kinda hurt […]
As someone noted at church on Sunday, we have four children and three feet. This has not been easy, even with Sarah doing my grocery shopping and taking my kids for playdates several times a week, our community group bringing meals, Samara back in service babysitting and taking the kids to swimming lessons, and various […]
Joshua and John-Luke invited us over for a tea party on Monday. The kids looked so cute all dressed up! (And Janie threw up on the way home from Camarillo, because what I really needed on top of everything else was to deal with vomit on a bum leg. Fortunately we saw the neighbors starting […]

No creative costumes this year, just their standard print-out to get our free meals. And Tommy has […]
One of the most fun things to do last week was dropping Tommy off and picking him up at baseball camp down at CLU. He had a great time, got really dirty, and acquired his first peeling sunburn. Oops! He also inspired his little sisters to practice in the backyard! Pictures courtesy of Elizabeth.

The Haneys are in town, and the kids have loved getting to play together for the first time in two years! Last weekend, they went along with Derek and the kids to the Reagan Library Independence Day celebrations. And after visiting some family down in LA, they’re back to play some more!
Swimming Lessons
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Friends, Janie, Susanna on Jul 6th, 2015
Last week, we started three back-to-back sessions of swimming lessons at CLU. Yep, we’re going to be pool rats this summer. We’ve loved the Parks and Rec instructors, and I’m hoping that swimming five days a week for six weeks will help the kids get really comfortable in the water. We’re invited to so many […]
