Today started out well, Isabelle had OT in the morning with a wonderful, new OT who specializes in sensory issues. Then we headed to Isabelle’s speech therapy and hit McDonald’s in between 🙂 Neither of the girls felt like napping (even though I tried!) so we headed to WalMart for a few essentials. Of course, Isabelle fell asleep on the… Read More
a marshmallow-y good time
My mom came down to spend part of the weekend since the kids had a holiday on Monday. The kids were in rare form, the weather was perfect and everyone was on a sugar induced high. We spent a good bit of the day outside and when evening fell we started up the mini fire pit and cracked open the… Read More
success
We started potty training at the beginning of the year. It was a rough first few weeks, but now she proudly announces to everyone, “Need to go pee pee!” and rushes off to the bathroom. She got some Hello Kitty clack shoes out of the deal and I got one less kiddo in diapers.

Celebrating Jude’s big day
Tonight we celebrated Jude’s birthday by eating cupcakes and singing “Happy Birthday” to our boy who is half a world away. The girls had no idea what we were celebrating, all they knew is that they were getting to eat the cupcakes they had been asking for all afternoon. Asher and Dalton were excited that their little brother was turning… Read More
Fun in the tub
Thank goodness this house came with a huge garden tub in the master bath. Our nightly ritual is to toss all four of the youngest kids into the tub for bath time. They love this time together and usually end up well-pruned by the time they get out. Sophie is still acclimating to the bubbles, she seems to think they… Read More
Sophie Turns Three!
On Saturday, January 20, we celebrated Sophie’s third birthday. What a blessed day, to have our girl here at home with us. Last year at this time we had to settle for sending her a birthday cake via Adele at blessed kids and wondering what she might be doing to celebrate her day, if anything. But on this day we… Read More
Happiness is a trip to Target
Since we live so far away from a lot of our family and friends, we often receive (and LOVE!) gift cards from Target for Christmas gifts. Even Isabelle and Sophie were armed with their cards on a trip to Target the other night. As we perused the aisles, I was pleasantly surprised at how many toys were on sale, nay… Read More
The ‘New Jammies’ Dance
I went out the other day for some ‘alone time’ and found some Dora and Disney Princess jammies for the girls at an outrageously low price. Too cheap to pass up. Even if you’re not a real character-on-clothing-lover (myself included). But the girls love nightgowns and Sophie loves Dora (and ‘Bukes’ as she calls ‘Boots’). Isabelle doesn’t care too much… Read More
A Very Merry Christmas
Whew! All the preparing and planning we’ve done for the last few months paid off in spades on Christmas morning. It was so precious watching the kids open their gifts, ripping off the paper and realizing that Santa had come through for them again this year. We spent Christmas Eve at an evening church service and then came home and… Read More
