As JT played outside after dinner tonight, he jogged by my kitchen window and yelled, “I LOVE YOU, MOM!” and blew me a big kiss. I grabbed the camera and snapped a picture a few minutes later because I know when I look at this picture, I will remember that moment and how wonderful itContinue reading “Remember”

I got a little behind in postings (see post below) so I’m just now catching up from the weekend. Haley is enjoying sitting to play now and loves to sit and chew on things. I think it is very interesting that she enjoys toys that did not hold JT’s attention. Even as babies, they have differentContinue reading “Catching Up”

I had a birthday! And then I worked for a couple of days… and then we got a new computer… and then it had some problems with Office 2010… and then it was the weekend… and Monday I got it all worked out. But I’m having a little conumdrum with PhotoShop Elements 9, my photoContinue reading “Birthday!”

Haley is sitting to play now and is eating squash (butternut, acorn, spaghetti), sweet potatoes, yams, green beans, peas, and rice cereal. Today we start avocado! Her head has grown too, because today on our walk her hat was too tight. 🙂 I got some great pictures to mark her seven-month-day. The lighting kept changingContinue reading “Seven Months Old”

This week my cousin Elizabeth is visiting from Idaho with her two boys. Gideon is about six months younger than JT and Titus is barely younger than Haley. My Aunt Linda had us over for some play time and a yummy lunch so we could visit. Ma-Maw (Great Grandma Christensen) and Grandma Cole were thereContinue reading “Visiting Family”

JT was so excited this Monday when he got to do gymnastics with Jim instead of me. I took the opportunity to take a bunch of pictures and play with Haley. We love Peak Gymnastics and can’t wait for Haley to be old enough to join in the fun. Last-minute coaching Miss Amy helps withContinue reading “Gymnastics with Dad”

When the water looks like this, it’s a good day to ski. 🙂 We called our friend Adam and hit the water! It was over 50 degrees outside and the water was close to that… not bath temperature but good enough for us. Between dry suits, hot water showers, and boat heaters, it’s hard toContinue reading “Spring Skiing”

Haley has really learned how to better use her hands in the past few weeks. One of the things that is new because of her new skills is that she isn’t swaddled to sleep anymore. Here she is lying in bed first thing in the morning… so snuggly! She can get her binky back inContinue reading “Hands”

Jim’s schedule changed a little early this year, so we’re back to family day on Sundays already. Woo-hoo! We get to relax, have fun, and hang out. (The other six months of the year, we don’t have a single day of the week for this!) The downside of this schedule is that Jim and IContinue reading “The Return of Family Day”

This Harley shirt was the first thing we bought for Haley. We got it last February on our trip to Alabama. (The first thing we bought for JT was a Harley shirt, too. Except he wore his at four months old.) I put it on Haley this afternoon after her bath and when she gotContinue reading “Harley Girl”
