Scott took him to the local barber shop Thursday morning and in just a few minutes, . . . → Read More: Wyatt’s First Haircut

Tuesday afternoon the Toys R Us Big Toy Book came in the mail.  When I was hit hard with a migraine that evening I needed a way to get Juliana to go to bed without my involvement.  So I sent her to bed with the catalog and told her to find toys to add . . . → Read More: Dear Santa

Juliana is 4-1/2 now.  One of the ideas I read when Juliana was a baby was to buy a Women’s size small t-shirt and take her picture in it once per year until she grows into it.  I decided to take this picture on her half-year birthday (which I can never forget now that . . . → Read More: 4.5

9 Months Old

9 months is such a fun age and my favorite part about the boys being 9 months old is definitely watching them interact.  They sit next to each other and play, and I am hoping they learn to share soon.  Generally Wyatt is happily playing with a toy and Ruslan decides he wants . . . → Read More: 9 Months Old

Ruslan Crawling

Ruslan is getting really good at crawling…unfortunately he only crawls backward.  He crawls as far as he can until he gets stuck somewhere, like here when he crawled under the . . . → Read More: Ruslan Crawling

Juliana is 4 years old today.

Each morning Juliana wakes up between 7:00 and 8:00 filled with energy.  During the week we walk around the block to the school where Juliana has preschool and the boys are in the infant program.  She walks with me to take the boys to their room and then we walk . . . → Read More: Four
