Haley is two and a half! She was unimpressed when she found out that this did not mean cake, parties, and presents. She is, however, very happy to be closer to three. I took a couple quick pictures of her to mark the big occasion. Reading me a book. She points to the words asContinue reading “Two Point Five”

Well, that’s not its real name, but that’s what we’re calling it. We drive by on our way home from church sometimes and it looks like so much fun. So we were excited to make a date with our friends Tawnee, Kayrene, and Dante to ride bikes and play in the sunshine last week. WeContinue reading “Castle Park”

Valentine’s Day is supposed to be all about how we love others (and really it’s about getting things as gifts…), but it would be great if we could focus on how much we love God, and how much He loves us. I tried to talk about that to my kids all day long! We startedContinue reading “My Valentines”

We put on our play clothes and went to the park with friends. It was wet out but wasn’t raining andContinue reading “Smiles”

Our February field trip for preschool was to the post office. The kids each came prepared with one letter addressed to their home. I don’t know what’s in the envelopes but I am looking forward to getting it in the mail! They each bought a stamp, put it on, and mailed their envelope. The funnyContinue reading “February Field Trip”

We had a jam packed weekend! First, we had to reschedule our annual New Year’s Day brunch for Groundhog’s Day (remember Jim, JT, and Haley all were sick?). Fortunately, everyone could make it! We had a pancake bar and everyone brought toppings to share. Haley and I made a quadruple batch of pancakes, three egg-ham-hashbrownContinue reading “brunchsuperbowlfun”
