Thursday, August 11, 2011

0 Comments

The day has come, drum roll please, Molly developed an attention span! {Applause inserted here.} She can play without a companion for about 20-30 minutes. Mid-afternoon has become a time for dolls, littlest pet shop, and other rainbow-colored shenanigans. I am often right next to her as she plays. For real, I could play next [...]

Just when my mind is ready to snap from being unable to paint anything outside, open the bedroom windows or get a grip on running my home, I find a moment or two like these… Winter sun rays Brighter than summer days Snow banks beam light Warm sunspot, just right Children bounce off the wall [...]

I am struck more now (as a blogger) than ever before with the thought; my kids won’t remember a thing! Taking the time to photograph and journal about our lives together has been a gift to me. The chance to slow things down one post at a time. Ry took a bike ride down to [...]

I am in the midst of packing for a trip to family camp. I am swimming in camping chairs, bug spray and more kids clothes than I know I’ll ever need but can’t seem to leave behind. The process of leaving is always a chore but a necessary part of the privilege of actually going [...]

Sleeping Senses

My kids are putting themselves through spy training or at very least self-awareness training. As a baby and toddler Ry slept with one or both of his eyes slightly open (which is a little weird to see mind you).  I always joked that he’d grow up to be a lookout in a cowboy bandit gang. [...]

Molly is on day 5 of a cold and Ryan was diagnosed with an ear infection today. He started acting out of sorts on Sunday but by Tuesday morning he complained of a head and earache. He did comment without prompting that, “My heart feels great!” Ryan was very grateful for everything I did for [...]

Thanks to Dr. Suess and Wonder Red from Super Why Ryan is in a rhyming phase. Everything has to have a rhyme even when no English word exists- he just makes one up! He is learning to skateboard and he loves wearing his red skate helmet and pads [largely due to the fact that I [...]
