When The B Man turned 5 he got a dwarf hamster for his birthday. That was just a little over two years ago. Then the week or so before Easter (of this year) Tim and I started to notice that he/she (gender never determined) wasn’t doing so well and we’ve been on “hamster watch” ever since….
Two Sides of the Line
Recently we were at a function where there were several kids and a bounce house. The B Man and a girl about his age (but a little bigger in stature) were playing inside the bounce house and she was getting a little rough. They were playing “swords” (they were invisible) and at one point she…
Birthday Smiles & Sparklers!
I posted this at the beginning of the week but realized that it works great for You Capture this week since we had LOTS of FUN! It was a weekend full of smiles. Someone I know, who may have been born seven years ago, had a great birthday and enjoyed his day to the fullest. …
Happy 7th to my 1st!
This little bundle made me a “Mommy” seven years ago today. This is one of my favorite pictures of him ever taken (at age 2). He no longer has those two front baby teeth. Today he is a soccer playing, reading, writing, joke-telling, brother and sister-loving, sweet, sensitive boy. His blue eyes are just like…
Ahh, to be young again… WW & You Capture
The beauty of youth is all around me. Every day, in my children. I just hope and pray they keep me young. There’s a saying… something about how youth is wasted on the young. I don’t think it’s a waste at all… Can you tell my camera is working again? 😉 These were all…
Church or the Hospital?
We have about a 7 or 8 minute drive to church every Sunday and it’s usually filled with noise from the back of the car from the three small people in our life. Meanwhile, the typical conversation between Tim and I may be about what to have for lunch that day or if we remembered…
Early
There are two times when I know my children will be quiet. When they are sleeping. And when they are eating dessert. They get a lot of dessert. And a fair amount of sleep… This morning Little G got up to take a tinkle at 5:34 according to the clock in our bedroom. Afterward he…
Why I Sometimes Hide in the Laundry Room
Because when both the washer and dryer are running and I close the door, then I cannot hear him crying. It started when he was about 2 and half or so, if memory serves. Sometimes I try to block it out. The past that is. It was NOT fun. It’s less frequent now but still…
Of Halloweens Past…
I thought it would be fun to take a little trip down Halloween Memory Lane… 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Now wasn’t that fun? 😀 We have TON going on this weekend including two birthday parties, an adult costume party (yay!) and trick or treating of course. I imagine even my social self will…
WW – My “Biggest”*
I’ve been pretty proud of my first “baby” lately. He’s been doing SO well in the first grade, learning to read like a pro and coming home EVERY Friday with a “Good Conduct Badge”. Last week he was featured at school as the “Super Star Student of the Week” and brought home a stuffed animal…
