It was a pretty big day in the Keene house. First, second graders sang at today’s Eagle Assembly. JT does not enjoy being on stage, but it’s growing on him. This is the first year (in 5 performances) that I’ve ever seen him actually sing on stage. He was smack dab in the middle ofContinue reading “Eagles News”

A Good Day for Football
The Saturday following Thanksgiving, Jim and JT had a football marathon. It was a good day for our teams and both were rivalry games. First Alabama stomped Auburn in the Iron Bowl. Then everyone changed clothes to support the Huskies in the Apple Cup game against WSU. Go dawgs!
15 Months and 40 Months
(Also known as 1 1/4 and 3 1/3) Haley had her fifteen-month checkup today and we are pleased to report that she’s gained a whole two pounds since she turned one. Hooray! I was busy celebrating while her doctor was reminding me to continue a high-calorie diet. Haley would have to gain another three poundsContinue reading “15 Months and 40 Months”
Haley’s First "Ski"
I don’t even know what to type other than 1) this was his idea, and 2) leave it to an older brother to do this for fifteen minutes all around the house!
A Year with Frog and Toad
JT and I had our second date to Seattle Children’s Theater this week. We saw A Year with Frog and Toad. It was so good. I would see it again today! The music was amazing, and the choreography was outstanding. JT’s favorite part was the “large and terrible frog” that was actually a man behindContinue reading “A Year with Frog and Toad”
Cooking Assistant(s)
Haley has learned how to climb up and down our two-step kitchen ladder all by herself. This means that I have not one, but two kitchen assistants. It is a little dangerous because Haley doesn’t yet know about not touching things on the counter. We are quickly teaching it! The other day she pushed theContinue reading “Cooking Assistant(s)”
A Trip to the Ice Cream Store
Here is the best clip yet of Haley walking. She walks a lot when she thinks no one is looking. 🙂 JT asked her if she wanted to go on a walk to the ice cream store. This is what they looked like coming back… they kept tripping and falling over each other andContinue reading “A Trip to the Ice Cream Store”
Friends
Now that Haley is more capable, it is fun to watch my two play together. Today I watched JT hold his sister’s hand and, ever-so-slowly, walk with her across the gym at workout. It was so sweet! I looked at Jim and said, “And that’s why I wanted two.” Here they are looking at magazinesContinue reading “Friends”
Somersaults and Steps
Haley has continued to take between two and eight steps at a time each day. She has great preserverance in this area, and she doesn’t seem to mind landing on her bottom a million times in a row. I haven’t been able to get a ton of great video footage yet, mainly because she normallyContinue reading “Somersaults and Steps”
School Update
JT has continued to enjoy our school time. Currently, his favorite is math. He does a good job reading but it is harder for him than numbers (so far), so we sandwich it in between writing and math. He has been practicing some reading on Haley, which she loves! Just this week he finished hisContinue reading “School Update”
