So the stomach flu has hit us full force. Derek’s still under the weather, I’m queasy but trying to hold things together, Lizzie’s fussy but just threw up once yesterday (and maybe it was spit up), and Tommy has been throwing up today. Our house is the worst it’s ever been–mounds of dirty and clean […]

Twelve month visit for the Little One yesterday–all looks good, and Tommy held her hand during her two shots so that she could be brave. My kids react remarkably well to their vaccinations. For every anti-vaccine blog story you read, call me, and I’ll tell you how doing them by the book has been perfectly […]
This morning, we had some nursery kids and their parents over for a birth-tea party. The menu? Chicken salad sandwiches, sunflower seed butter and jelly sandwiches, fruit salad, blueberry scones, artichoke dip with toast, cranberry limeade, tea, and double chocolate banana muffins baked in tea cups and frosted with pink icing. Yum! The birthday girl was […]
The Landing

Our kids love the landing–it’s their favorite place in the house! Lately Elizabeth has been racing up the stairs to be able to look out of the big window.
Our Birthday Girl!

Today Elizabeth turns one! Where has the time gone? She’s such a merry little soul, laughing and flashing her 4 (!) teeth at her beloved brother or anyone else who smiles at her. She’s adventurous, climbing all the way up the stairs whenever Mommy’s back is turned. She’s a good eater, pretty much enjoying whatever […]

With Daddy home this month, we’re going to try to take advantage of museum free days and library passes to hit up all the museums we’ve missed…and the ones we want to see one last time! Today we visited Adler Planetarium. As a homeschooling mom, I would give it 2.5/5 stars (worth a free day, […]
Pearly Whites

Okay, I’ve learned my lesson. I’ll never talk about Tommy’s potty progress again on here until he’s been accident-free for months. Today I did manage to get a great shot of Elizabeth’s three pearly whites! Judging from drool and crabbiness, the fourth should be here soon.
Yesterday we could barely stay inside–besides naptime, we were soaking in the sunshine! The kids loved their “pick-mick” lunch, and we’re hoping for many more now that it is warm!
Every morning, the kids are so excited to see each other again. They both smile and babble and hug and kiss each other like it’s been way more than 12 hours since they last hung out! They are truly each other’s biggest fan…
