The other night Jimmy suggested watching a nice Christmas Story for a date. I felt like watching something different. We found a movie, As Far as my Feet Will Carry Me, about a German soldier who was captured by the Russians during World War II. This meant – Siberia. Wow… what a life those prisoners […]
Seriously – a really tasty treat. I’m so grateful for all that delightful vitamin c I receive from these clementines. The day: Truman wouldn’t take a nap before church = trouble for all. A huge tantrum that seemed to disrupt everyone for several rows around us (or maybe the entire chapel) during announcements was no […]
Blogging overload tonight… but I wanted to share my daily Christmas Cheer. I love this message…
A bit of our life this week: Abe – making microwave popcorn for all for a movie night. Go Abe! I caught Jimmy drinking Egg Nog out of the container. What? I guess it’s okay since he’s the only one who drinks it. Pants-less Tru helping mom put up the Christmas garland of lights. Eliza […]

Today Truman said a really great sentence (his first and best one ever!). He said, “Max … spilled … syrup?” He paused between each word, but he did it. Yay Tru! Another great thing about Tru lately is that he has turned his biting into kissing. He’ll come up and kiss us on the elbow, […]
said little max … to mom and dad … nearly every day in the month of November. The odds of us thinking the same thing as Maxwell would be slim. But oh, we laugh. And so does he. Today I scolded Max for screaming his lungs out at Abe. I told him he needed to […]
I don’t think I started December with much Christmas cheer. For the rest of the month I’ll try to avoid Walmart with kids… and attempt to focus on the real reason for Christmas.
Dear Friends and Family, Next time I think it’s a good idea to take my 3 littles to Walmart (yes… walmart!) right before lunch, please gently remind me that it’s indeed NOT the best idea. Even if I think we need to get out of the house, remind me it’s easier to stay home. For […]
