a gift
Someone blessed Isabelle with a surprise gift this Christmas. And, because I’m crazy that way, I decided to let her open it up before Christmas. Okay, that and the fact that it wasn’t actually a “Christmas” present. The gifting just happened to coincide with the Christmas season. And, to be completely honest, I let her go ahead and open it… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {trimming the tree}
I don’t usually get things done early. In fact, most times, I’m not even on time. But this year, trimming the tree came early. Early being a completely relative term. Victoria had to leave in the evening which meant we had a long afternoon to find a tree, bring it home and decorate like crazy. And that’s exactly what we… Read More
the glasses
I had to share these, for favorite photo Friday. Not so much for how much I love the photos. But for how much I love what the photos represent. Specifically, those glasses. Isabelle ‘bought’ those glasses today from her school ‘store’. With ‘bucks’ she’s collected over the last few months for good behavior. Good behavior, y’all. Which, despite her best… Read More
reading eggs. really?
Meet Isabelle’s newest friend. Reading Eggs. She spent the day at home yesterday due to a short-lived upset tummy – as in, she threw up on the bus on the way to school. So sorry, Ms. Fran. I owe you a big batch of brownies. By late morning we’d gone through all the Bob Books we could find. And several… Read More
this girl
… is determined. She managed to convince her other front tooth to come on out. Despite the fact that it was really no where near ready. I’m so grateful that she’s got that tenacious spirit… because she gonna need it. She’s making progress at school, but the upshot of our recent IEP meeting was that she might be ADHD. And… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {the tooth}
So the question has been posed several times lately. Did that tooth ever come out? And I am happy to report that yes, yes it did. It came out with a solid 1/4 inch of root still attached, too. But that’s our Isabelle. Ready or not, once she wanted that tooth out, it was coming out. And, clearly, she’s pretty… Read More
good golly
This girl. A few weeks ago she decided that it was time for her ever-so-slightly wiggly front tooth to come out. NOW. Several times she asked me simply to pull it out. But I reminded her that it had to actually be loose first. Evidently she took those words to heart. After spending most of last night wiggling her tooth,… Read More
first day of school
Mission accomplished. Just 179 more mornings to go. Everyone was riding high on adrenaline this morning, so really things went much better than I had anticipated. That, and the fact that I had followed y’alls advice. And had done pretty much everything – besides put the kids on the bus – last night. It was pretty stinkin’ dark this morning,… Read More
Isabelle turns 7
I know. A lot of birthdays going on around here. June brings three birthdays for our family. And July brings two. And despite the frequency of birthdays during these two months, we do our best to make each birthday special. We celebrated Isabelle’s big day yesterday. She had been counting down for the last 10 days. About the time we… Read More
