A bit of explanation- E3 loves being a princess. She has several tiaras, dress-up gowns, beads, etc. When E2 really got excited about Star Wars, she didn’t pay a whole lot of attention to it until she discovered Leia was a princess. So now she will play Star Wars with him, as long as she […]

I love these kinds of pictures. I don’t take near enough of them- it seems that by the time I think of getting my camera the moment is lost. Since I’ve been taking my daily pictures I’ve definitely captured a lot more of them, as my camera is more accessible and I’m just thinking about […]

E4 slept really well and was obviously feeling more like herself. She was playing on the floor under the window and the sun coming in was really making her skin glow. The photo didn’t capture that as well as I wanted, maybe there was something in processing I could have done, but I don’t know […]

E4 hasn’t been quite herself the last few days- she’s not as smiley and not sleeping well during the day. My mom decided (and I agree) that she’s missing her dad. So, K, this is for you, because I know you miss her, too.

You can gain some amazing insight if you listen to 3 year olds conversing for a while. They are so accepting and open, and at the same time trying their best to conform to the social proprieties they observe. It can be very humbling at times. E3 and M are doing well playing together considering […]

We picked a good time to be here, as L and E had an extra long weekend. The four kids have spent most of the two extra days battling each other with the Pokemon cards or with the Pokemon games on their Gameboy Advanced, and they really seem to be having a grand time.

I think for this trip E1 and E2 were the most excited about playing the Pokemon card game with cousins L and E. Four years ago when my sister and her family came to visit, L and E were really into the game- they even talked K into buying his own deck so they could […]

The weather has been fairly mild for Wyoming in February. The kids played outside for much of the afternoon, and had a blast with all the stuff to do. The rock box has always been a big hit with all of my parents’ grandkids. When E3 and my nephew M went out they headed straight […]

The second day of traveling went pretty much as well as the first, as long as you don’t count the kids asking, “Are we in Wyoming yet?” every 20 minutes. They really weren’t asking the classic question of “Are we there yet” because we had been talking about the different states the whole way, and […]

We’re on the way to Wyoming! My parents offered to give the kids and me a ride to and from if we wanted to see friends and family, since K has to stay home right now. Of course, we jumped at the chance! So the seven of us packed into their Mountaineer and took off […]
