The boys have been helping Matt dig a spot for a new garden. There’s lots of talk of tomatoes and peppers and lots of things Sam will never put in his mouth. There was also mud and worms and dirty little boys. Here they are minutes after their bath admiring all their hard work. A special thanks to Grandma Barb for the brand new garden tools that let the boys “help” dad!
I swore my kids would not be the ones walking around with iPhones in elementary school. What on earth do kids need with such fancy technology anyway? Right? Right!!?!?! Yup, that’s my 3 year old.

It will seem a little bit … Read more

A lucky boy indeed. It’s very hard waiting to open presents (this was one of 3 meltdowns during present time!) Will had been asking for a “Mater” cake for the last three months so we had a mater themed evening complete with a new … Read more
We had a three day weekend this past weekend thanks to President’s Day and I was just a wee bit excited that we had no real plans. A trip to Little Gym Sunday morning and an impromptu brunch date with friends on Monday were the only things that got us to leave the house.
