I have so many little matters to tell you of, that I cannot wait any longer before I begin to put them down.

Janie was pretty tired by the time we did family pictures last week, so the photographer got a lot of great ones of everyone else, but no real smiles from Jane-bug. So I’ve been trying all week to get a good smile that I can just make into wallets myself. The current candidates: (real smile, […]

So tonight was going to be the night. Dr. Vallance told me that as soon as Janie was better from her cold/ear infection, we could sleep train her. So we were going to start tonight. I was all set and ready to let her cry it out. Derek gave her an extra 4 ounce pumped […]

Not too many four month pictures, because Janie and I came down with a cold last week, and her nose is caked and red. She has officially rolled both directions (she went back to front just hours after I blogged about wanting her to learn!), and she’s cooing a lot. She looks at me from […]

It was fun to see how well our girls are playing together (considering that Elizabeth and Claire have been friends since birth, back in Chicago), and of course Naomi and I never ran out of things to talk about. (a musical duo:) […]
The tea party contingent has expanded…
Last night, Grandpa and I took the kids down to our new park to ride bikes. Elizabeth, who has refused to ride outside the back patio since falling off the curb a few weeks ago, actually rode for several minutes (albeit at a snail’s pace–Susie was walking faster than Lizzie rode). And Tommy raced around […]

Today we took Grandpa to Gardens of the World, known to our kids as “the quiet park,” for a picnic lunch. It was a little hot to be comfortable, but the kids still seemed to enjoy showing Grandpa their favorite spots! Tommy even took a picture of me all by himself. He’s pretty excited whenever […]
They’re big fans of each other.
