Mothering Emma Kate and Jack…
Today, while Jack napped, Emma Kate and I baked vegan chocolate chip cookies. Admittedly, the process of baking cookies with Emma was more enjoyable than the taste of the cookies. The best part about making vegan cookies is that it’s safe to eat the cookie dough! We’ll keep trying new recipes until [...]

Yesterday, I noted a subtle change in Jack’s imaginative play. He picked up one of Emma’s princess dolls and proceeded to roll play as Rani (the princess) proceeded up the castle stairs. Emma Kate joined in and the two carried on princess dialogue. It was too cute! After playing with princesses, the kids splashed in [...]

The kids played, had a picnic lunch, and participated in a small graduation ceremony. During the ceremony, Emma’s teachers, Miss Pam and Miss [...]

While in Wilkes, we had the opportunity to visit Granddaddy Jack and Ora Lee. Granddaddy Jack played a little tune on the banjo for us while little Jack got into EVERYTHING. We enjoyed our visit.

Mom pulled out the photo album from our Disney trip in April 1989. Emma and Jack had fun looking at the familiar sights from 18 years ago! I am posting some of these photos (note: these are pictures of pictures… it required too much thinking to scan and transfer from one computer to [...]

The kids and I traveled to Wilkes on Tuesday to visit Maw-maw and Paw-paw and to visit Sara. It was so great to see Sara; she was in good spirits (though a bit crabby about therapy.. love you, Sara!). I enjoyed seeing the new landscaping at Maw-maw and Paw-paws; they hired my cousin [...]

Friday, I had such a great day with the kids. We had no car (the jeep was in the shop getting a major overhaul), so we spent the day together at home. Friday morning, Emma Kate went to the pediatrician’s office for her 5-year well-check. Unfortunately, she had to get 4 shots and a finger [...]

For Mother’s Day, I got a sweeper (and a pedicure). It’s what I asked for. The funny thing is that Emma Kate and Jack like it as much as I do!
What do you get when you give a 2-year-old a brown crayon and leave him unsupervised for 15 seconds?

I want to wish a Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms I know (Maw-maw, Grammy, Mary, and all my wonderful mommy friends and family members). And, of course, I want to take a moment to honor my mother, whom I wish I could spend this special day with (instead of grading papers all [...]
