Last night we went to dinner with some friends and when we got home, Jim taught JT to make a snowball in the driveway before we came inside. Then JT suggested, “We could build a snowman!” Jim said, “Maybe if the snow’s here tomorrow, we can.” But last time we had enough snow for aContinue reading “A Snowy Night”

Princess Bean has really been changing in these past few weeks. We have noticed a little more chunk on her face and thighs (yay for baby chunk!). She has figured out how to play in the Exersaucer all by herself: she turns to face the toy she likes, spins the circles, presses the buttons, andContinue reading “Six Months and More”

Around here, snow is a big deal. We were supposed to have this crazy, nasty winter and so far it’s been very normal. So when it snowed this week, we couldn’t help but head outside and take some pictures. JT, Haley, Slider and I took a snow walk after nap one afternoon. JT got toContinue reading “Snow Walk”

Haley turned six months old today. Yesterday I jogged five miles. It’s been a good week. 🙂 Haley got her picture taken in her new Pottery Barn Kids outfit that I got new-with-tags-on at a consignment store… and she is sporting, for the first time ever, an adorable pink bow. Hooray for hair long enoughContinue reading “Six Months Old”

I started my Valentine’s Day by finding a card from Jim in the egg basket in the fridge. 🙂 Love it. The really funny thing is that I had already planned to leave his card on top of his breakfast plate, which I leave in the fridge every morning. We are quite the pair. ThenContinue reading “Valentiny”

I took JT and Asher on a puddle walk today. We had so much fun in the rain! The boys had hot cocoa with lunch, and got to play in warm, dry clothes before naps. I have great memories of doing this as a child… as an adult, my mom divulged the secret motive behindContinue reading “Puddle Walk”

Dinner at our house on Jim’s work days is usually very low-key. I thought I’d give a little taste of what goes on… especially now that Haley is eating cereal like a champ. I have interspersed the videos with JT’s conversations. Basically, I have become the proverbial never-taste-food-hot parent, but I don’t mind. I takeContinue reading “Dinner Time”

We’ve taken advantage of the breaks in the rain/wind/cold to get outside the last few days. JT and Jim played baseball in the backyard for awhile. JT is actually pretty decent at throwing the ball up and hitting it by himself. It doesn’t go far, but he has a great time! We also broke outContinue reading “Backyard Ball”

Well, well, look who’s trying to sit by herself. 🙂 Haley is starting to manage a one- or two-second tripod sit on her own before she topples over! This is an early Valentine’s Day picture. More sitting practice… She has mastered getting large objects into her mouth and spends most of her time doing justContinue reading “February”
