In an attempt to make way for the new baby, we’ve made major changes with the kids’ room (with the help of craigslist). We decided to sell Elizabeth’s twin bed and pick up a toddler bed that would take up less room. A couple weeks later, we found a matching toddler bed for Susie. The […]

Moving Target Practice
Posted in Elizabeth, Photography, Susanna, Tommy on Mar 4th, 2013
My second week of photography class was even more helpful than the first, as I was able to bring in some pictures and ask what I was doing wrong with them! One of my biggest challenges is staying focused on the kids when they’re constantly moving. This is my transcription of my hastily jotted notes […]
I’m under three weeks out from when I think I’m due (the doctor thinks it’s more like three and a half weeks), and I’m definitely feeling the impatient wait kicking in. Realistically, I won’t have this baby until the end of March (which is when my parents will be out to help)–I went late with […]
Susanna at 22 Months
Posted in Susanna on Feb 20th, 2013
Susie is getting more vocal and grown-up every day. Daddy has been teaching her to count to four or five, she loves identifying body parts, and she’ll sit and read Gyo Fujikawa books forever if I just take the time to sit down with her and do it. She is trying to pedal the big […]
Snow Boots
Posted in Susanna on Feb 16th, 2013
My girls have long considered snow boots to be a warm weather accessory. Here’s Susie’s spin on the concept, perfect for this afternoon’s 80 degree weather.
We’ve been having days of fun with this big cardboard box. It’s been a space shuttle, bed, car, laundry basket, and probably some other things I missed! The kids have enjoyed it so much that they haven’t even asked about the birthday presents that came inside of it…
Since Susie Q has gotten way more interested in bikes and scooters, I realized it was high time I got her her own helmet instead of having her borrow her sister’s. It was too cold and late to try it out outside last night, so the big kids helped her try out her new helmet […]
This morning, Sarah and I had perhaps our most successful garage sailing morning to date. I found a ton of jeans (without holes!) for Tommy for $.25-$3 apiece, PLUS not one, not two, but THREE barely-used sets of color wonder paints for $1 apiece! Color Wonder is the only kind of art that I’ll let […]
Another SB Zoo Trip
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Friends, Susanna, Tommy on Feb 6th, 2013
We’re trying to get in a couple last trips up to the Santa Barbara Zoo before our membership expires at the end of the month. Monday, we finally got to bring James along, and the kids ran off a ton of energy while Sarah and I chatted. It worked out well for all involved. (I […]
