Katya Reads?!!
OK, she doesn’t really read, but she sure likes to memorize books! Here she is with her word book, “reading” the category for each page (and skipping the ones she can’t remember…!) P.S. This video is mainly of interest to doting relatives, so don’t feel at all guilty if you’re just not interested in watching [...]
Neighbors
Katya and I are enjoying lots of things together while Nathan is at school. One morning we had time to wander through the garden and harvest flowers (since most of the vegetables are still slowly trying to fight their way through the crab grass!) She looked so cute helping me pick up the Black-Eyed Susans [...]
I'm Big Too!
This Sunday was the week when all the kids move into the next grade in Sunday School. That meant Nathan moved out of the Early Childhood wing and upstairs to the Elementary wing.

Goofy Golf

Summer or Winter?
What season is it, really?!! Apparently Katya has been a little confused lately… So much for her belief in global warming.

The First Day
We did it! It’s a good thing I didn’t write this post when I first thought about it, about 9:00 this morning, because it would have been much weepier!! Nathan woke up at 6:45 this morning, and went right in to brush his teeth. (He’s very motivated by finishing the chart I made to hang [...]
Your World is Changing
Butterfly girl, your world is changing tomorrow! Big brother goes to school. Will you miss him? Will you like the extra mommy time? Probably a little of both. I am looking forward to learning new things about you, to focusing on what makes you really you, outside of your reactions to your brother. I hope [...]
