JT’s spring break was a week earlier than mine, and at first I was pretty bummed about that. But then I got to play stay-at-home mom all week, and it was pretty awesome. I had all this extra time (compared to my normal schedule; I am in no way insinuating that stay-at-home moms have lotsContinue reading “Spring Break”

I had a great time turning 33. It started on Thursday, when the kids went home with my parents and I had the evening to get a pedicure and a massage. Woohoo! Then I came home and watched a movie with Jim, who was home sick from work. Friday Jim made his classic french toastContinue reading “Becky’s Birthday!”

Easter started with a trip to JT’s preschool Easter party on Thursday. We had such fun. I loved how they did the egg hunt: assigning each child a number so they had to find those specific eggs. It made it last longer and no one was hogging all the eggs. Then, of course, the bigContinue reading “Easter Weekend”

We just love the tradition of palm branches on Palm Sunday. The kids look forward to waving them and yelling “Hosanna!” I got this adorable picture of my two after church this week. It is sad to look back and remember that the same people who once yelled “Hosanna” turned, just a week later, intoContinue reading “Palm Sunday”

Tonight during dinner, we were thrilled to see a world of white outside our cozy house. It hailed and then snowed! We went outside and got a plateful of hail to look at it, touch it, taste it, and make predictions about what it would do once inside our house. Then we went outside againContinue reading “Spring Snow”

Our friends invited us to a real farm to see baby sheep and goats. It was soooo fun. These little ones were only eight hours old! Look who got to hold one… until she fell asleep. 🙂 JT got to hold her too… but I couldn’t back up any more for this photo! Little farmersContinue reading “Spring at the Farm”

Every child deserves a dad. Especially a dad like my kids’ dad… who plays with them, teaches them, and smooches them. I got some great photos of him wrestling and chasing Haley the other day. I was thinking about how this is 100% DAD. Sure, I wrestle with the kids and I chase them around,Continue reading “Dad”

With the weather improving, we had some time outside this weekend to ride bikes, picnic in the yard, and enjoy the sunshine. Picnic lunch Sweetie pies! A good moment to catch on camera. 🙂 We were invited to a birthday party with a dress-up theme for the first time. I will admit that I grumbledContinue reading “Indoor/Outdoor”

I really struggle with that one, thinking there should be an apostrophe. But I am pretty sure it is a night with Dads, not that the Dads have the night. I listened to a Grammar Girl podcast on this years ago. Anyway. Tonight was Dads Night at preschool. Jim left work early to be homeContinue reading “Dads Night”

Sunday morning, as we were enjoying a nice family breakfast, it looked like sunshine outside. Jim said, “It’s too bad we can’t ski today.” And then I said, “Um, why couldn’t we ski today?” We had plenty of time before we left for church to get organized, so we kicked it into gear: dry suits,Continue reading “Spring Skiing”
