Boo at the Zoo

Sunday was a beautiful day here at our house. We headed off as a family to enjoy some time at the Zoo dressed in our costumes. Interestingly enough neither Lorelei or Allan wanted to wear the costumes they are wearing on Halloween. Hmmm, decided to let them choose and they wore their costumes from . . . → Read More: Boo at the Zoo

Ms. Smokey the Wayward Cat

We have a new visitor to our back porch. Over the past two weeks this cat has been visiting our porch. We give her milk and our leftovers (which are more than I would like with 3 little kids). This cat has been eating like a queen. She has now taken our porch as . . . → Read More: Ms. Smokey the Wayward Cat

Today we made spider webs out of pipe cleaners, yarn and pom-poms. It was a little advanced for Allan who couldn’t actually wrap the yarn and isn’t too handy yet with the glue.

Lorelei’s First Day of School

Dear Lorelei,

You don't know this, but I have been apprehensive for your first day of Kindergarten for the last three weeks. (Who are we kidding, more like since you were born). Not for myself, but for you and all the new, scary and wonderful feelings you are about to experience. I was a . . . → Read More: Lorelei’s First Day of School

EASY Chocolate Croissants

Now some of you may not know this about me, but I am not a "cooker" (Lorelei's word for baking).  Crafting all day, oh yes please! Cooking or baking, who me, I'll pass. That is not to say that I don't know how to cook or bake, I do. (Thanks Mom.) I just, well . . . → Read More: EASY Chocolate Croissants

Allan’s 4th Birthday

ROOAAAAR! That's dinosaur talk for Happy Birthday. We celebrated Allan's birthday last Friday. It began with the Happy Birthday music box and us accompanying the tinkling music with our singing, next cake for breakfast and he got to open a present from Lorelei and Charlie. They gave him a poseable Rex and Woody from . . . → Read More: Allan’s 4th Birthday

First Crush

Lorelei found her first love this weekend while we were camping. She wanted to spend every minute with this new boy. He was the son of one of the families we were camping with.

After arriving home on Sunday she came to me and said, "Mom, I am in love with O. Well, I . . . → Read More: First Crush

Summer Picnic

"…but the biggest mistake I made is the one that most of us make while doing this. I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of the three of them sitting in the grass on . . . → Read More: Summer Picnic
