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

The kids think this is a good theme song for our anniversary today! We may not have a dozen highly talented singer/dancer/performers, but our four are pretty cute.

Since it takes me so long to get myself up and ready for the day with one foot, I haven’t been leaving my bedroom until I’m fully dressed and booted up, often not until 8 am! (I made the mistake on Monday of getting up and NOT getting my boot on right away–and kinda hurt […]
Joshua and John-Luke invited us over for a tea party on Monday. The kids looked so cute all dressed up! (And Janie threw up on the way home from Camarillo, because what I really needed on top of everything else was to deal with vomit on a bum leg. Fortunately we saw the neighbors starting […]

There are two Chick-fil-a options within 10 minutes. Since loading the kids into the car and hobbling into a restaurant isn’t that much harder than making a meal, we went to one for lunch and one for dinner. No creative costumes this year, just their standard print-out to get our free meals. And Tommy has […]
One of the most fun things to do last week was dropping Tommy off and picking him up at baseball camp down at CLU. He had a great time, got really dirty, and acquired his first peeling sunburn. Oops! He also inspired his little sisters to practice in the backyard! Pictures courtesy of Elizabeth.

The Haneys are in town, and the kids have loved getting to play together for the first time in two years! Last weekend, they went along with Derek and the kids to the Reagan Library Independence Day celebrations. And after visiting some family down in LA, they’re back to play some more!

Sunday morning photo shoot… Tea party with Grandma… Shakespeares! (South side) We found out that Mondays were kids eat free days, so each of the kids got their own pizza as well as dough to play with while we waited. And family devotions with Grandpa.
On our first time through MO, Grandma mentioned there was a race in Fulton the weekend we came back. So Tommy went running with us several times in Detroit, and he completed his first one-mile race in under ten minutes! He ran the whole thing without stopping! Then we cheered on Grandma in the 5K. […]
Since Derek was gone for Father’s Day, we had a little photo shoot mid-way through Tommy’s buzz cut to fool Daddy into thinking his son had a mohawk! And then we had to take a group photo. The mohawk put everyone in a silly mood!
The kids had fun helping harvest (and eat) raspberries. And Grandpa and Grandma even figured out a camping night, complete with sleeping in a tent (in the back porch) and making s’mores (in the grill)…
