Our trip to NYC…part 1

Well, in true Abbie fashion I am running behind in getting our pictures up!  I just sorted through and picked out a lot of them…from our first day.  There will be more in future posts! This is Alex just before take-off on his very first flight.  The anticipation was almost more than he could handle and [...]

Summertime Kids

Wow.  I haven’t posted in a very long time.  I’ll try to get back on track now! Since I posted last, we’ve been staying busy with end-of-the-schoolyear activities and adjusting to our summertime schedule.  Alex finished first grade and is thoroughly enjoying being out of school.  He has a notebook for the summer that he writes [...]

Our Easter Weekend

Our Easter weekend was busy and so fun! Nothing out of the ordinary, but I wanted to share some pictures of the kiddos. Dad and Alex started off the weekend shooting the airsoft guns that Alex got for his birthday. He looked soooo cute in his safety glasses!  Just look at how the straps poke his [...]

Alex is SEVEN!

My sweet Alex turned 7 this weekend!  Yay!  And he wanted a Mario cake for his party, so I slaved away in the kitchen and came up with this: When he spotted this guy, he looked incredulous and said, “I didn’t know you knew how to make goombas!!!” Neither did I, honey.  Neither did I. We had a [...]

Well…it snowed.

Yep.  After days in the 70s, 80s and 90s…..the bottom dropped out and we’re hovering around the freezing point.  We woke up this morning to a dusting of snow on the ground.  I’m okay with that since we’ll be back up in beautiful temps in a day or two! Elliott and I headed out this morning [...]

Today, after our 70% chance of rain dropped to 0% and the sun came out, I grabbed the [...]

Painting birdhouses

I’ve been trying to think of activities to keep the kiddos busy and away from each other’s throats while Alex is home on his spring break.  So I set them loose with some birdhouses and paints this afternoon and they really enjoyed it!  Well, Alex did.   See, Elliott cannot handle messy hands.  Hates messy hands.  [...]

Fwip Cass!!!

Fwip Cass! Or…Flip Class! Or….Tumbling! Whatever you call it, it’s good times for Elliott! It’s helping her overcome her shyness and come out of her sweet little shell.  She has really gotten into the songs they sing and the things they learn. She goes with her dear friend Welby (Shelby) and they [...]

81°

Come onnnnnnnnnnnn, Spring!  Man, this weather is amazing!  Sunny, 81° and just a light breeze.  I cannot imagine a more perfect day!  The kids enjoyed the afternoon so much! By the way, Alex is starting to get over his hatred of getting his picture taken! Elliott is actually hating the sight of me toting my camera around [...]

Elliott’s playdate

Last week, while Elliott and I were shopping, she met a little girl.   Despite her shyness, she approached the girl and it was obvious that they were destined to be friends.  I began talking with the little girl’s mother and we just hit it off.  We spent the afternoon shopping and snacking together so that [...]
