It’s that time again…time to gloat that our cloth diaper investment is paying off even more with the prospect of a fourth child in diapers! Derek casually asked me this weekend if we had everything we needed for the baby, and I replied that I’d picked up a couple little packs of disposables for until […]

Family Game Night
Posted in Elizabeth, Games, Susanna, Tommy on Mar 15th, 2013
Susanna’s move to a big girl bed has been rocky, to say the least. She stayed up until 10 several nights in there, and when she woke everyone up at 5:15, we gave up and threw her back in her crib. Now we’re letting her stay up with the big kids and start the night […]
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 […]

White Balance Homework
Posted in Elizabeth, Photography, Tommy on Feb 27th, 2013
I signed up for another photography class this month, and one of the things he had us do for class this week was get off of auto white balance settings. I definitely notice that the pictures are warmer.
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 […]
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…
Elizabeth has been having a lot of accidents lately, and since she’d been day- and night- potty trained for well over a year, I took her in to the doctor a couple weeks ago to make sure she didn’t have a bladder infection or something else that we needed to address. (She didn’t.) Apparently Tommy […]
