Alyssa did not have a traditional piano recital this year. She is taking a different kind of piano class at school and they just invited the family to watch some of the songs the class was working on. It was informal, but anytime to watch her play is worth it. I have high hopes for [...]

Today, Audrey is 3. I hung her birthday banner up all week to get her excited, and it worked. She likes to look up at it and say “Happy Birthday Audrey.” One thing about not having many connections in town is that I don’t feel obligated to have a party. And I like parties, birthday [...]
I am sure there will be a day when one of them doesn’t want to dress up, but they all love it. Each girl picked her own idea. Well, not Audrey, she had to be what fit at that age. Maybe next year… Alyssa choose a cowgirl and Megan is Toki Tori. As usual, Ethan [...]
The single most popular word said around our house is Auuudrey! Any given day that word can come out of any of our mouths, and what it really means is things like this: You just spilled milk all over the floor. You knocked over Megan’s Lego tower. You just colored all over Alyssa’s homework. Get [...]
My little girls started back to preschool yesterday. It is hard to get one kid in school and then wait 3 weeks before the others get to go. After waiting so long, they were both ready and excited. They are going 2x a week at a church minutes from the house. I picked solely based [...]
Alyssa playing a few of her songs. For the first few months, I stuck with her. I would watch what she learned and practice myself. Christmas time came and I could play most of the songs in her book. Well, I am proud to say that she has far surpassed me. To the point that [...]

Excitement, patience, regret, hope.

The series of emotions that come with moving a strong-willed, two year old to a toddler bed. I have moved all the girls to this toddler bed before stepping up to the big bed. And I moved the other two at 20 months and 22 months. So, I thought, piece of cake (hmm… yum, I [...]
If you were around to see Alyssa preform at age 2 or even age 4, you would know why I had such a huge smile watching these two today. I was so proud of just the fact that they were on stage and then participating was a bonus. Megan was even prepared for a … [...]
Happy Birthday Audrey

You are from God. I tell myself as you are climbing out of the shopping basket, into other people’s strollers, on the counter or the kitchen table. You are a blessing. I tell myself as you are stomping your feet in frustration, hitting your sister or making growling noises in anger. It is only a [...]
