On Tuesday, Adam turned 4. When I had asked him who he wanted to invite to the party, he promptly named four boys in his preschool class. I pressed to see if he wanted anyone else, maybe some of the girls, but he said, “No, no girls. They’re not my friends. Just the boys.”...
You may or may not remember, but back in November, I started working out at my husband’s Crossfit gym box. I had been out of shape, getting fatter and frustrated with myself for not doing anything about it. Initially, I found the workouts and the whole concept super-intimidating, but it didn’t last long, and...
I enjoyed a lovely low key birthday weekend. On Friday, my beloved planned out and prepared a delicious steak and shrimp birthday dinner and made homemade tiramisu cupcakes. Yum! I received a cupcake with two candles, because, according to the pastry chef, “that’s how many years less than 40 you are”. Adam thought it...
We had a great time celebrating Wendy’s 8th birthday over the weekend. She is such a delightful girl. It was fun to watch her open presents — she was thrilled with everything. Some of the highlights were hair things (sponge rollers!), Magic Treehouse books (a favorite) and her first Timex watch. We’ve done some...
We love gliders (aka run bikes aka balance bikes aka pedal-less bikes). Our older two kids have learned to ride by first learning to glide. Now that our three year old is a master glider, I’ve been itching to get him on a “big boy bike.” Apparently, a downside of gliders is that once...
Preschool actually started last week for young Adam, but I didn’t remember to take a picture until Monday. And then he wouldn’t agree to pose for one, until after school. I’m glad he finally did because I :heart: this photographic evidence of what a cutie patootie he is. He is in a class for...
In preparation for Back to School, all three of my kiddos got haircuts. We’ve been to different Arlington establishments, but this time I took all three to the Hair Cuttery. My girl was thrilled to go to a “real” salon and especially loved getting her hair washed and using the bubble dryer. I was...
Here it is July and I’ve completely forgotten to post about Sam’s birthday! He turned 6 during the last week of school and things were so hectic, I never got around to blogging about it. In an effort to minimize the future therapy bill, I better make mention of our middle child’s birthday. We...
13th wonderful years ago, my beloved betrothed became my beloved bemate. And we’ve been in bledded wiss ever since. We’ve had our ups and down — it hasn’t always been easy and certainly not always pretty. But I know that Mike is the man God intended for me and I am a...
Since this blog is my attempt to chronicle the amusing and significant moments of our family life, I would be remiss if I didn’t share the most important milestone a person can attain. Last week, when I went to rouse the kids for school, Wendy informed me, with a shy but proud smile, that...
