Mothering Emma Kate, Jack, & Liam
It must be the second child syndrome… but I find that it’s more difficult to do one-on-one time with Jack. So, today I said, “Jack, write your name,” and he did! He is usually too busy trying to figure out how to make things work (particularly electricity) to take time to practice writing. Cute little [...]

It’s so funny that my little people are such science lovers (in spite of the fact that science was definitely my LEAST favorite subject in school). Emma Kate has always been fascinated by weather and natural disasters, and now Jack has started showing similar interests. This week, the kids made volcanoes. EK is so excited [...]

Today, my baby (big) girl entered 1st grade. It was a bittersweet moment for me… I was sad to see EK go, but excited about all that she will experience this year. I actually think 1st grade is harder for me because now I know how much she will be gone. Also, I think Jack [...]

So, I’ve been a blogger slacker (again). We’ve actually been so busy that I am too tired to sit down in front of my laptop in the evenings to blog. I’ve been falling asleep with the kids the last couple of nights and have enjoyed the extra shut-eye.
Wednesday, last week, we went to Jetton Park [...]

Sunday afternoon, Malinda’s aunts joined forces with Josh’s aunts to throw a baby shower in honor of their soon-to-arrive little peanut. They were showered with lots of great baby stuff- it’s amazing how much a 7 or 8 pound little person needs! At the end of the day, their big SUV was packed and they [...]
