A few weeks ago I went to pick up Ethan from Mother’s Day Out. One of his teachers was sharing with me that he enjoyed the story of Peter Pan that day and was one of the few children in the class that recognized Tinker Bell. I laughed as I told her that didn’t surprise [...]
Karis’ 2nd birthday was the Wednesday after Hurricane Ike hit. (I know. Happy Birthday to her, right?) We had already decided long before Ike that we were going to have a low-key celebration with just our family and maybe an additional small playdate at a local park with a few friends. So, Ike just confirmed [...]
Since so many of you who read my blog are my friends, and so many of you are asking how our first day of school went, I thought I’d answer you all here instead of retyping it in 12 different emails. :)
Ethan (my 3yo) did great at Mother’s Day Out at the church around the [...]
This is a photo that Kate took on Shawn’s iPhone recently. She obviously blurred whatever she was looking at, but the resulting image was just too pretty to delete. What’s amazing to me is that Kate’s a better artist on accident than her mommy ever is on purpose!! :)

(Do you remember that geography-sleuth kids’ gameshow on TV in the late 80s with the catchy intro song by the group, Rockapella? These are the cartoons along [...]
Ethan was lying on the couch next to me watching tv when Shawn came over to tickle him. Ethan was giggling uncontrollably when Karis marched over and pushed Shawn’s arm away from Ethan with a very stern look on her face. Apparently she was trying to ‘protect’ her big brother from the big, mean Daddy. [...]
Kate turned to me today and said, “My Daddy’s my hero.” So, I asked her to tell me more…
Why is he your hero?
“Because I love him.” ”Because he helps me with spelling.” ”Because he loves me.”
What are some of your favorite things about Daddy?
“He has fun with me and tickles me.” ”I like to color with [...]
She did all of this by herself, too. From the crown, to the purse, to the shoes - all HER idea! Looks like I have another GIRLY girl on my hands!
