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

Derek finally put together Tommy’s Christmas present from Nona–his very own little red wagon. Downstairs has never been so fun! This afternoon, Ashley apparently pulled him around and around the basement in it for 45 minutes while I was teaching my class…

Guess who decided to walk all the way from the backyard to the sidewalk, then all the way down to the end of the street? Well, it wasn’t Mommy, though she ended up coming along. We were considering going around the corner to the playground, but a bump in the sidewalk changed our plans…the blood […]

Scene One: Derek looks into Tommy’s room to find Em in the rocking chair reading Dr. Seuss to Tommy with her eyes closed. Em: Boom! Boom! Boom! Mr. Brown is a wonder! Boom! Boom! Boom! Mr. Brown makes thunder! Derek: Um, I think this is a sign that you need to take Tommy to the […]

While in Target, however, the weather changed so quickly that it was thundering and pouring by the time we got out. Despite Daddy’s best attempts […]
Tommy’s been quite the lucky dude of late…lots of time two weeks ago with Grandma Willett, last weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Muller, and another visit this weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Willett! He’s figured out that going to the playground with grandparents is much more fun than just with Mommy–he can go down the […]

Highlights of the weekend… Space age toy (aka Uncle Jason’s battery-operated back massager) walking around the playground with Grandpa giving Mommy a dandelion (actually, he never really gave it […]

No pictures yet, because we didn’t bring the camera adapter card to Detroit, but Tommy (and Mommy and Daddy) survived his first plane ride today! We’d planned it over his naptime, but that didn’t pan out. Instead, he climbed all over Mommy and Daddy, flirted with other passengers, and ate crackers happily for a solid hour. […]

Tommy has made some exciting new acquisitions. Nowadays, he carries his favorite things around the house for hours, putting them down to play and picking them back up to go to the next activity. Yesterday Grandma brought him some bright orange shorts to match Daddy’s. (Daddy loves them! Mommy is underwhelmed…) I couldn’t get them out […]
Thank you, Lord, for a Godly husband, a happy and healthy son, loving families, caring friends, and calling me to be Your daughter. May I never take for granted the blessings You shower on me daily, and may I never think that my plans are better than Yours for me. Tommy brightens Mommy’s day by […]

No self-respecting great-grandson of Nona Tata’s would turn down a bowl-full of yummy homemade spaghetti!
