Our little John David, 4 months old! …and big boy, sitting up shot He has a dimple in each cheek, and I just love that! Welcome to the world of a 4 month old! When Aunt Amy and Uncle Greg visited, Wesley was 4 months old, and he seemed so big to me…..compared to our 4 week old!! That’s so funny because now that I’m at the four month mark too, it still seems so small. Cousin Wesley at […]

Last year was a really happy, exciting season for me. Sure, I had two elementary boys and a toddler to take care of, but Dan is an excellent napper and quite mature for his age (all 3rd children must be), and the boys were happy and humming along nicely, so it wasn’t so […]
» Read moreI am very excited to have learned a new skill! Digital photo labeling! I asked our friend Jamie, who blogs at joshandjamie.com, and she said she uses Picasa. She said she can do it “real quick.” I’m not so sure I was “real quick”, but I’m excited to finally know how to do this!! I love Sundays!!! Things are almost perfect here right now. Alan is passed out beside me, getting a Sunday afternoon nap, John David […]
» Read moreYouch! If you’ve been reading this blog any at all, since the baby arrived, then you know that I am currently pretty stressed out. That’s right. Life is giving me a good ol’ fashioned butt whoopin’! We have hired a little help. We have cut back on activities. We’ve made list after list. You name it, we’ve probably tried it. Yet we are still just treading water over here. So I decided that this week I am […]
» Read moreWho doesn’t love a toddler? What’s more precious than a baby? Nothing! There is nothing more precious than a baby, and yet there are also few things more taxing than caring for a toddler and a baby, at the same time. It’s all coming back to me: why, after giving birth to Caleb, 20 months after having Joshua, why I gave away all my baby stuff and said I was never doing that again. I had […]
» Read moreThree months out from the new baby: This is what my closet actually looks like right now. Ah, Fall. Who doesn’t love Fall? The further north you live the more exciting it is! (And also a little foreboding at the same time). I love it just as much as anyone, and as CEO of our little abode, it is my duty to take stock of everyone’s closet situation each fall. Then I must fill in the gaps, […]
» Read moreHe got all ready to bat, but when he realized I had the camera out, he put the bat down and came over to pose. Such a cute little poser. : ) Dan has been keeping me thoroughly entertained as the big bro of the youngest set. I do think of my children as two sets of two. There is such a gap between Caleb and Daniel. I tell you, if you can handle two little ones, […]
» Read moreMy friend Amy and I had a great time pulling off a surprise baby shower for our pal, Betsy, this weekend, at Amy’s house. This is Betsy’s second baby, as well as her second boy.

Margret, Catherine, Susie, and Pam sweetest mother/daughter picture ever! the food Betsy and Pam Betsy, admiring the little bitty clothes…..Enjoy it Betsy! They grow so fast! Oh, and […]

I guess toddlers are kind of like cats. Put a box down, and in they go. Today little John David turns 3 months old. I have no adorable new photo to post. Check out Tuesday’s post for that. He still looks the same. ; ) I have no exciting new milestone news to share, and I have no energy. I DO have a horrible case of hay fever. Do you know what’s harder than taking care of […]
» Read moreFunny, we never photograph crying babies, do we? This is JD’s coo-ing face. He’s talking to us. : ) And this is his “sweetheart” face. Who doesn’t want to just kiss him 1000 times when he looks like this!? By the way, that outfit is a 9 month size outfit, which I’m sure has been shrunk in the dryer over the years, and it was also worn by Alan, as a baby. I have been careful to save each […]
