This weekend, the kids suddenly rediscovered their dress-up basket, and silly times ensued! It wasn’t too long ago that Tommy fit into this and Elizabeth was Little Sal. How time flies! Uncle John would be proud to see his flight suit being paired with a duplo gun! Nothing says fashionista like repurposing oven mitts as […]

Haven’t Learned Our Lesson
Posted in Susanna on Aug 10th, 2012
This girl may look innocent, but during her nap today, she took off her dirty diaper and rolled around and generally soiled everything. Thank goodness Derek was working from home this afternoon so he could tackle the crib while I scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed her down. I know the other kids have done this, […]
Watching a clip from “Singin’ in the Rain” is now our family bribe of choice. The kids, especially Elizabeth, love to watch the dancing scenes! Check out the girls trying to dance like Debbie Reynolds the other day. Imagine them in nonstop motion:

We finally got Susanna in to the doctor for her 15 month check-up. Dr Antall said we’d keep an eye on her bow-legged, pigeon toed walking.

Tommy’s been a bundle of energy, with dreadful consequences. No more legos before noon for my energetic lad. Meanwhile, […]

Susie is quite attached to pink blanky and Lionel, and they usually spend the morning with her.
Susanna at 15 months!

I feel like Susanna is a full-blown toddler these days. She runs everywhere, as pigeon-toed as you can get. She shrieks when she doesn’t get her way and throws herself on the floor. She loves to dance around the family room with her sister. She has finally started holding my hand when we walk through […]

Pretty Bows
Posted in Susanna on Jul 11th, 2012
So we’ve fun into a little issue with finishing the kitchen–the old paint cans we were going to use to touch up were left open and are all worthless. So today I’m going to have to go try to match 15 year old paint. While you all wait with baited breath for our kitchen reveal, […]
