For those who didn’t call…

My mom and sister called to get the scoop on the new pet. Here’s what they got when they asked E about her pet (mainly wanting to know what kind of pet we now owned): “Well, her first name is Goldie and her middle name is what she is. And her last name, well, we […]

First Pet

Sometimes we do crazy spur-of-the-moment things. Today is one of those times. I’m about to head out with the kids to pick up their first pet. (Unless you count chickens as pets.) If you’re lucky, we’ll get a picture up soon. Want a clue? It’s a SHE.

Uno Kiddo

Sweet little H and I are hanging out together this weekend while the older two kids are having fun at Grammy’s house. After sending the other 2 kids off yesterday, we went shopping just the two of us yesterday. I had several stores (5, actually) where I only wanted to pick up one or two […]

Hello World!

Yummy Peas

820 H’s been sitting in her high chair at the table with us for a few weeks now (just playing with toys). Tonight she got her first non-mommy-milk food. Poor 3rd child. E’s first meal was planned well in advance with plenty of photos to capture the moment. N’s first meal was planned and well […]

“English, Spanish, Fry”

Said by E tonight as she was telling us something about different languages. Uhmm, that would be French, my dear. FRENCH!

Can’t believe I am posting this

It’s such beautiful weather down here. N was playing outside by himself today after lunch. I walked by the window to check on him and he was sitting in the grass staring at the sky. I did a double take because N doesn’t just SIT and stare at the sky. I then did a triple […]
