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

Elizabeth is seriously obsessed with “The Little Drummer Boy” song today. She’s been singing “rum pum pum pum” constantly all morning. Another couple hours of this, and I might join Grandpa Muller’s I-hate-the-little-drummer-boy club… And, just to be realistic, this is what my kitchen looks like when I choose to exercise instead of unloading the […]
This morning, Elizabeth flatly refused to put on any of her pants. She wanted tights and a skirt. Since yesterday started below zero without the windchill, I thought this would be unwise. We compromised with tights and a jumper and pants underneath. Then we headed out to the kids’ consignment store in town to look […]

Look who ate French Toast Strata with the rest of the family this morning! I tried to capture the pure joy that radiated from her as she dug in…but maybe I should have taken a video instead. In any case, it was an epic breakfast for Elizabeth!

I’ve resorted to bribery. I know, that makes me one of those moms. Tommy has become positively picky these past couple of months, refusing to eat dinners that he loved the last time I made them. So I decided to try out a chocolate pudding recipe and tell him that everyone who finished their dinner could have […]
The kids got some musical instruments for Christmas, and they love playing and dancing with them!

Some mornings, our PJs are so comfy that we just stay in them all morning… (looking out at the snow)

Elizabeth is 20 months old today! (And that means I’m due in 3 months!) She’s still a very happy kiddo–she’s singing to herself right now as she looks at books with her adored big brother. Her hair is finally long enough to pull back (we try to keep it out of her eyes, with varying […]
