Fall Frames

Oct 23, 2016

Late September and Early October… That last 100 degree hurrah – the only time our kids have played in a sprinkler (boo for droughts, don’t tell San Jose Water). And here’s Whitney, modeling the latest in safety-fashion – the Tile necklace.  It’s one of the steps we’ve taken addressing the bolting problem.  Of course, we haven’t had to use it since we’ve gotten it…in...

Five, Dylan is

Oct 15, 2016

This dude.  My life shifted course five years ago when I first held this bundle of passion, laughter, and amazement in my arms.  When I look through my “monthly” collage for Dylan I can’t help but realize how fast those years have gone by – I vividly remember so many of those moments like yesterday and when I see how little he was and...

Independent Dependence

Apr 10, 2014

Lord help us.  We have some stubborn kiddos.  We are in a stage where they want to do everything by themselves, but can’t quite do it yet…or can’t do it in any reasonable about of time.  This is true for everything from getting dressed and buckled in car seats to pulling the wagon and pouring their own milk. Oh that I would be more...

Independence

Jul 6, 2013

Happy belated 4th everyone! We’ve got another type of independence going on here. Freedom = Highchair free for 2 weeks now, I still can’t believe it when the kids spoon out their own Cheerios and milk. Dylan says “OWN” all the time, as in I want to climb in my carseat, go upstairs, brush my teeth on my own! It’s actually helped with the...
