Y’all are gonna have to bear with me. If you were around in the fall, you might remember that I posted pictures of my kids on their first day of school. And I apologize in advance. But the mama in me has to go there again. Because Friday marked the last day of the school year. Just look at tiny… Read More
Isabelle, the graduate
I’m not a huge fan of all the ‘graduations’ that take place before a child really graduates high school. I know, I’m kind of crabby like that. But it sure is cute when it’s your kid up on that stage. Wearing a graduation ‘cap’ made out of purple construction paper. And a smile a mile wide. Singing Somewhere Over The… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {the kite}
I didn’t even have to work at this one. At church this morning, Jude received a kite as a “prize”. Between the time this kite was placed into Jude’s sweaty little hands and the time we arrived home, this kite was brought up in conversation no less than 2,489 times. So, after lunch we went outside to give this kite… Read More
better
And this mama is so, so thankful. Never did pinpoint what they had, but it was not strep. Just high fever, nausea and the insatiable need for lots and lots of hours spent laid out on the couch sucking on sippy cups of Sprite. Must run now, though. While the girls might be recovered… My house is so very far… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {giving in}
No real Sunday Snapshot this week, I’m afraid. So I gave in and decided to just go with it. The sickness. The indoor pictures. The low lighting and the grainy photos. This is life. My sweet girl is still sick. Really sick. Evidently lots of other kiddos in our town are sick too – the doctor scheduled us for an… Read More
red letter day
Isabelle has longed for this day. Ever since her older-by-only-5-months sister Sophie lost her first tooth. 8 and a half loooong months ago. It’s been weeks since her tooth actually got wiggly, and every night at bedtime she would wiggle it furiously. And query me as to when I thought she might lose her tooth. And then she’d regale me… Read More
testing. testing.
Isabelle is undergoing some testing. More testing, really. Since arriving home in 2005, our sweet girl has endured more testing than, well… than any 6 year old should. Isabelle’s special need was a minor heart defect. But her delays, of an unknown origin and of an unknown severity, have continued beyond what could be attributed to her initial special need… Read More
picture day
For the second time in one school year, it’s picture day. For me? Forms to fill out, checks to write, outfits to ready. But for the kids? It’s all fun. And seeing them so darn jazzed this morning… well, I just couldn’t help grabbing my camera just to capture the day. The girls chose to wear their Chinese silks. Dalton… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {silks}
I had intended to let the girls wear their Chinese silks to school on Thursday. The first day of Chinese New Year. But it didn’t quite turn out that way. I did, however, manage to get my rear in gear and get them outfitted on Friday. The second day of Chinese New Year. Why split hairs… it’s a 15 day… Read More
isabelle in black and white.
Guess what? We enjoyed another snow day today. At least the kids enjoyed another snow day today. Isabelle, especially. From the time she realized that today was a snow day, she began asking if she could go outside to play. Repeatedly. I was able to hold her off until just after lunch. Once I gave her the green light to… Read More
