Tonight JT said to me, “I take picture?” while holding the Flip. So I said yes. He opened the case, turned it on, and recorded me. Then he stopped recording and watched his video. Seriously! The Flip camera is known for its ease of use, and they’re really not kidding. Then he said he wantedContinue reading “So easy a child can do it”

I grabbed this picture of Haley in JT’s reading chair the other day as we were leaving. She looked so cute in her fuzzy vest! While I was loading the car, JT snuggled in with Haley and read her a book. What a great way to stay occupied for a minute or two!

We had so much fun at the bouncy house today with our friends Jen, Asher, and Abby and Elisa, Gracelyn, and Tyson. Haley and Tyson are both too little to bounce, so they did a lot of napping. But the rest of us had a great time! It is very close to our house, whichContinue reading “Another Bouncy House”

Haley is starting to make more sounds, and it is very cute. When she squeals but isn’t angry, JT says, “She make happy sounds.” But lately she has also been cooing and gurgling, and I’ve even heard a couple of consonant sounds in there sometimes. JT thought that he should be recorded also… he wasContinue reading “Baby Babbles”

I started this posting last week and then got too busy to finish it. It’s been a little crazy! Miss Haley is growing and babbling and becoming a little more fun. She is enjoying sitting in her BebePod chair for five minutes or so at a time before she gets too tired and wants out.Continue reading “Miss Big Stuff”

There are certain things that I ask JT to do, and I say that it’s his “big guy job.” That way when he can’t do something, I simply explain that it’s a “mom job.” He’s getting it, because yesterday Haley was fussing and he went running across the family room saying, “Big guy job! IContinue reading “Big Guy Jobs”

Every year, my church hosts a Women’s Christmas Dinner. I have gone the past several years, but this year I hosted a table. It was so much fun! A hostess is responsible for the entire table: linens, dishes, decorations, silverware, glasses, dinner favors for the guests, and the dessert. Thanks to my mom’s dish collectionContinue reading “Women’s Christmas Dinner”

I’ve been wanting to get a picture of the four of us to put up in our house to replace the picture without Haley, and we also wanted a Christmas card picture. It is tough to schedule a photo shoot between Jim’s schedule and naptimes, but we managed. The weather cooperated too! I paid aContinue reading “Family Pictures”

I love Black Friday. It is the official start of the Christmas season. I was not tempted at all to put up my decorations when it started snowing earlier in the week because I have my own little traditions for Black Friday. First, I go shopping. I didn’t go crazy, but I did arrive atContinue reading “So it Begins”

It was a small group for Thanksgiving this year, but that was just as well… everyone has been sick! I got a cold three weeks ago and it snuck back on me, and JT and Haley have been stuffy and coughy. Then Jim came down with something horrible and my mom got bronchitis and aContinue reading “Thanksgiving”
