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

I can’t believe how fast our little girl is growing up. She’s very girlie in her need to accessorize (shoes and hat at all times, thank you very much!), but she can make engine sounds right along with her brother, and she loves cars and duplos. She really loves pointing to children and animals in […]

I thought Chicago would be my last chance to consignment shop for awhile, but then a friend from church mentioned that there were two big consignment sales in State College and Bellefonte this weekend! Since Tommy’s 4T winter wardrobe consisted of 4 pairs of pants, three shirts, snowpants, and a suit, I decided to check […]
While Tommy turned into a TV zombie this week, Elizabeth and I enjoyed some mommy-daughter time. Her newest thing is to go around singing “Holy, Holy, Holy” except that it sounds like “Oh-lee, oh-lee, oh-lee!” I just love the way she accentuates her “ohs”…
Poor Tom-Tom. He’s not been well this week. His total food intake for the past two days is two bowls of applesauce, a piece of bread, four slices of watermelon, and a couple bites of a hamburger. His fever hovers between 99 and 101.3. Overnight, he’s delirious whenever the Tylenol wears off every 4 hours, […]
John came, he played, he read the kids books. And got exposed to a super-yucky virus that Tommy came down with after he arrived–we’re praying Uncle John’s Marine Corps strength will fight off the fever and cough. The rest of us, however, are probably goners…

This weekend, Elizabeth cut through her 8th tooth. Wowsers, was it hard work! We were up in the middle of the night with screaming two or three nights in a row (the nights that Tommy slept through, of course), and now that it’s all through, Tommy spent last night getting up twice and wetting the […]

Yesterday at Walmart, a little old lady asked how old my boys were. Okay, so Elizabeth was wearing a blue Tigers cap, but seriously–she had on a skirt! I guess I should always dress her in pink when we go out in public. (A couple minutes later, another little old lady grumbled behind us loudly about it […]
We’ve been trying to get outside more in the afternoons, even if it’s really hot. Both kids seem to have taken to soccer at last, and they’re determined to help me with my “gardening” (eg. keeping my mom’s eggplant alive long enough to harvest it).
We finally got in for the 15 month check-up yesterday. She got two vaccinations and, poor thing, had to have some blood drawn to be tested for her egg white allergy. She only cried about her shots for a minute or two, but the whole tourniquet on her arm and syringe and all was a bit […]
Tommy and I hadn’t gotten the chalk out yet this summer…but we did yesterday afternoon, and Elizabeth played with it for the first time. She thought it was very cool to be such a big girl! Then we got into pulling apart pine cones. Yum.
