I know I haven’t posted any pics in a really really long time. But tonight I did post pictures of Allison’s softball party along with the last game, if you want to check them out - in the game, she is the one with the pink shoes. At the pool party, she was the wet [...]
two good things
when we were picking up our fruits and veggies from our local CSA today, the girls (once again) noticed the peach trees in front of the pickup location (the local community college horticultural center), and wanted to pick some peaches. When we got inside, we asked the CSA people if they knew if we could [...]
potty potty potty
could it be? Could it really be that my 7 year stint in diapers (not me, my kids - although who knows, we could be looking at a break before I am actually in diapers…break out the depends, her last kid is potty training) could be nearing an end???? Lydia has been in panties all [...]
my sensitive girl
on Sat we hosted the softball party in our backyard. There was one little girl who arrived who sat in the living room by herself playing with the basket of toys we keep by the fireplace. She didn’t want to get her swimsuit on, didn’t want to get in the pool, didn’t even want to [...]

ya look like a cow
Today baby Lydia (25 months old) chewed her first piece of gum. She chewed it for almost 2 hours and then threw it away. We are so proud.
During this time, however, Meredith (nearing her 5th birthday) got gum stuck in her hair.
My girl likes to party all the time, party all the time, party all the time….
Conversation between Meredith and her dad:
Meredith - you are invited to a party tomorrow
Daddy - a party? What kind?
M - Its a celebration!
D- A celebration? What are we celebrating?
M- PARTIES!
D - a party to celebrate parties? Whoo Hoo! (ok, this last one may not be a direct quote)
And another one bites the dust
Another floaty that is….Meredith is now swimming without a floaty..thanks to private swim lessons with Uncle Bruce over the holiday weekend! She can swim from one side to the other unassisted. She still makes me pretty nervous (she seems to work VERY hard at it!), so I ask her to stay close to the wall [...]
