Three is such a fun age. I love the wonder and how everything is new. The imagination. Being independent, yet still needing me right there. Helping Mom is still fun. A few weeks ago the three oldest kids visited with their grandparents for the afternoon, and while they were there E3 helped my FIL make homemade noodles. […]

There’s just something special about brothers and sisters. Even though E4 isn’t yet 4 months old, she is developing a special connection with each of her siblings, and they are all different. With E1, she is very soft and quiet, but will intently talk to her like she’s telling the secrets of the universe. With E2, […]

Tonight was a big night for E2! His new bed is a loft bed with a desk and shelves underneath. I think he’s really going to love having the extra space, especially to scatter all of his Legos.

I had been avoiding doing any sort of digital processing on my photos, but Wyowoman convinced me yesterday that processing is not necessarily bad. So I slightly adjusted the photo on January 7  for the white balance, and its success has prompted me to play with the processing a little more today. E1 graciously allowed me to […]

As of January 7, we have had a total of 5.28 inches of rain for 2007. With the wind blowing and the rain coming down yet again, I really want homemade, fresh-from-the-oven cookies. I tell the kids, and they get really excited, so off to the kitchen we go. E2 runs to get his Kids […]

Family is very important to us, and we have felt blessed that we’ve lived close to my husband’s family for the last seven years. For almost the whole seven years, we’ve had a tradition to get together weekly. For a while it will be Saturdays, then Fridays, then back to Saturdays, depending on what’s going on […]

I barely got this picture done; it was about 11:30 when it got taken. It had been a somewhat lazy day: I’m fighting off a virus and E4 may have a touch of it, she hasn’t been her normal, happy, laid back self, she wants to nurse often, too. So the kids have had the run […]

 Two or three times a month or so, we all get in the car in the evening and ride around while my husband does sales for our business. He goes more often than this, that’s just how often we ride along. We usually get something to eat, then ride and listen to audiobooks or music cd’s, and […]

 A message board that I like to read on, Woolywonder, has a mixer thread going to show a favorite project on the needles- so here’s mine. This is going to be a pair of longies (long pants/diaper cover) for E4, if I ever get it done. My knitting rate after E4 was born has dropped to […]

This photo is almost self-explanitory. E4 was just sitting there being cute, and since the camera now just stays out all the time, I can just grab it and shoot.  She changes so much so often, I’m going to feel very bittersweet about pictures taken of her over the year. In 365 days she’ll be walking and talking, […]
