I went on the hunt for a photo from my childhood last night.

Such cute little guys in their Steelers onesies. So my focus switched to . . . → Read More: Football Season has Arrived

Wyatt and the Pool Shark

Wyatt took a few days to get used to the pool. He only wanted to be in the water if I was holding him and only for a few minutes. He gets cold very easily and his teeth would start chattering and his body shaking and soon he would be curled up in a . . . → Read More: Wyatt and the Pool Shark

2 years ago, Scott was in Guam for his birthday so I recorded the kids singing Happy Birthday to him. Juliana was the only one who could sing that year and the boys were contained so they couldn’t escape during the song.

The boys like it when you hide from them and jump out. Well, actually they like it when they know where you are and they can see you sort of hidden and then you jump out and “surprise” them. This game often takes place in the evening after dinner. Someone hides at the top . . . → Read More: The Hiding Game

Scott’s brother Erik is a firefighter and for some reason we never went to visit him at the station until this past weekend. The boys were so excited, they talked about it all week.
