Landon started T-ball this last week. Actually, it's technically "Pee Wee", which is "simplified" t-ball (believe it or not, there is such a thing!). He has really been enjoying it! We signed him up in a nearby small town. We don't know anyone else on his team, we just decided to go for it and get to know some new people. He has...
Last week, Adelle had her first few bites of table food. So far, she has tried: avocado mashed banana a few bread crumbs a teeny tiny bite of cheesecake So far, she still isn't sure if she likes food or not. I'm sure she will learn to love it soon. Landon and Vivienne were pretty excited when I actually fed her some things...
The kids received these adorable little egg-collecting aprons in their Easter baskets. Today they broke them in. We have gotten behind on collecting our eggs and so the aprons got put to good use! I just watched them through the kitchen window and had to run out there and snap a few pictures. There is something really sweet and grounding about watching them...
We were able to go on a short and sweet trip to Seattle. My brother was running in a track meet in Seattle. My parents came to town for it and we wanted to join in on the fun! We drove over on a Friday and spent some of the afternoon and evening walking around Seattle and then going to watch my brother...
Brett gave Adelle a beautiful blessing on January 29, 2017. She wore my mom's blessing dress (the same dress Vivienne wore as well). It is such a simple, sweet dress and I love it so much. It's almost 50 years old, too! Truly a vintage heirloom. I secretly want to put it in a shadow box to hang in Vivienne and Adelle's room...
I honestly can't even begin to say how much we enjoy having our sweet little Adelle around. She truly has been a delight. She is content and we love having her around. We have had a rough day or night here and there, but overall she really is simply the sweetest and we just adore her! I would have thought that Landon and...
We had a wonderful Easter Sunday this year! We attended church as a family, came home and let the kids enjoy their Easter Basket goodies for the afternoon, and then went over to Bud and Melanie's and enjoyed dinner with Brett's two sisters and their families. We had the traditional ham dinner--I took two pans of au gratin potatoes and a huge green...
Christmas Eve we took the kids to the "big city" and let them meet Santa Claus. I wish I could've captured the look on their faces (especially Landon's) when they heard the Christmas bells and laid eyes on him for the first time. They wouldn't stop staring at him with their wide-eyed gazes and waved to him while we inched our way through...
I know that in decades from now I will think and wonder about the mundane little details going on in my day-to-day life with nothing but little children underfoot. Aside from a few major things, most details will likely be foggy and muddled in my mind and I will try to remember all the small things that made up my days. This is...
