You’d think that our kiddos would have had these for a while. I mean, Sophie has been home for almost 5 years. And Jude almost 4. But since I traveled without Chris to bring Sophie and Jude home, a US Certificate of Citizenship was a $400+ fee and one loooong application away. For each kiddo. So, I did what most… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {hats}
We got some new hats in the mail the other day. It was reason enough to take everyone outside and try ’em out. Camera in hand, of course. Clearly, the kiddos were pretty darn excited. Other than birthdays and Christmas, there aren’t a whole lot of occasions that they get new stuff in the mail. I let them each pick… Read More
girls’ night in
I was supposed to be at a football game. Not sure if it’s my fault or my husband’s fault, but I got the time mixed up and ended up being impossibly late. So, we tried to make the best of the fact that me and my unshowered self would be staying in. The boys wanted to go to the football… Read More
Sophie – day one of grade one
So far, so good. First day down… the kids have gone and come home again… and no tears. The kids didn’t cry either. In fact, Sophie left for school, spent 7 hours at school, came home from school, and other than being ridiculously hot and sweaty (hello 95 degrees, where you been all summer and could you go back where… Read More
a big day for Sophie
9:35 AM Wednesday, August 18th. Sophie Lu just grew up a little more. Despite my best efforts, Sophie Lu has continued to distance herself from little girl-dom. And to march onward into big girl land. Seems like it was just a bit ago that she joined our family. Sophie Lu lost her first tooth in the middle of a bowl… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {my girls}
The girls and I spent the afternoon in Boston. Actually, the entire clan drove to Boston. We ate lunch together and then the boys (plus Vivienne) went to Gillette Stadium to watch the Patriots practice. And then just us girls went to do one of the things that we do best. Shop. Tori, in trying to sleuth out some fun… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {remembering}
The girls and I spent some time today going through their “China things”. We had to be sure to keep little hands out, so we snuck went up to their room and closed the door behind us. Then we pulled out all their keepsakes and special things from China. Sophie and Isabelle were all smiles. They love afternoons like this…. Read More
chosen
I mentioned it was coming. So I thought I’d share. At Wild Olive now.
all this growing up is getting to me.
Here they are. My girls on their last day of school. Sophie completing her kindergarten year. And Isabelle finishing up in pre-K. Both of ’em looking cute, too. But when I look back on pictures from the first day of this school year… Ummmm… what?! Here is my Sophie Lu on her last day of school… and her first day of… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {Sophie}
As is often the case with many resplendent moments in life, this one was not planned. We were all at a picnic and decided to take a stroll to see the nearby coastline. As all the kiddos dispersed and busied themselves with whatever captured their attention… throwing rocks, collecting seashells… Sophie stayed close. Like she usually does. She asked me… Read More
