Okay, baths = good. We like kids clean. But does it need to take two hours? I finally yelled outside the door, “Get out! We have things to do today. It’s OVER!” Then the little voice, “Mom, I have a question.” Oh, gosh, seriously? I peeped my head in the door. There’s a little soaking […]

Look at that face. He liked it! It’s an old Thomas the Train puzzle thing of alphabet cards that fit together with pictures of Thomas characters. He knew them all, even obscure ones like Bertie and Mavis. I was impressed. Plus it’s so fun to listen to his tiny voice say, “Percy!” It’s always after

That’s what we did today. Here they are loading packages onto a conveyor belt, then they run upstairs and do other things. It’s like a factory with a shipping department.

Kirsten gave me a frame for my birthday that’s specifically a house frame. Soooo, I’ve been waiting for just the right day to get a picture–when the maple tree is amazing and the sun is shining. Yes! We got it. To take the pictures I went across the street to the sidewalk. Some teenaged boys
It was a perfectly gorgeous day. And that little girl is almost seven months now, and she’s going nuts, pulling herself up on the furniture. She falls a lot, and she HATES a bumped head–makes her scream in outrage. But in the little car she’s safe, can do all her stunts without hurting herself. We
