A friend told me yesterday that he thinks I’m the only woman in the county who didn’t want a gazebo and got one with my house! It’s not that I don’t like the gazebo in our backyard, but it was never something I wished for – or even thought about, really.
But I like it. What’s [...]

Siblings.

I took this picture early this morning as these two sat quietly together and played … until I interrupted to take a picture.
My sweet, bouncing baby boy is walking! Here he is trying it out yesterday at the park.
Then Kate started dancing.
And Megan started sliding … and collecting static for her hair!
I hope you get [...]
A day in the park
Posted in family, kids, little things, outside, play on October 5, 2009 | 3 Comments »
We haven’t played in the park much recently. Sometimes it just seems like too much work to get the kids ready and out the door.
But it’s always worth it once we get there! (I’m linking this to Tuesdays Unwrapped at Chatting at the Sky because I’m learning to take time to enjoy the little things.) [...]
Fall (and maybe some summer)
Posted in Belleville, family, house, kids, outside, pictures on October 1, 2009 | 11 Comments »
Well, it’s fall and it’s October. Today it was also 80 degrees! Anyway, I added this bit of fall to my mantel (now that I have mantel, I ought to do something with it, right?) the other day and wanted to share it with you. Because I know you’ve been waiting to see it. (OK, [...]
Here are some pictures from our vacation to Colorado.
We were so blessed to stay in my brother’s condo. It was so nice to have a kitchen and laundry facilities right there. And also to see Uncle Louis! We also saw Uncle Austin and Aunt Erika.
Enough talk, more pictures. Enjoy our fun in the moutains!
Looking at [...]
A portrait in chalk

Meg drew this out front:
She said it was me.
Can’t you tell? She said she drew Mama, the bump at the top is my head – see the two eyes she drew? – the line at the bottom is my “bottom” and the scribbles in the middle are my clothes!
Gotta love how kids see the world. [...]
Siblings in the sun
Posted in Belleville, kids, outside on April 10, 2009 | 3 Comments »
It was sunny and warm the other day. See for yourself …
Now, why is that I don’t pay a professional to take their picture?
But I LOVE their smiles and fun interaction!

(Thanks to SouleMama and her Winter’s Manifesto for inspiration.)
Catching sunbeams that come in the window.
The potted plants growing in front of the south window.
Playing outside on the unseasonably warm days.
Play-dough. Paint. Crayons. Baths.
Looking for snow every morning. Recovering from disappointment.
Cuddling early in the morning.
Having an extra child on my lap while nursing the baby.
Hand sewing [...]
Here she comes just a-walkin’ down the street!

Ok, so this post really needs pictures or better yet, video to accompany it, but I just can’t get what I want so words will have to suffice.
I started thinking about walking more and how to do that in my life – mostly because I stepped on the scale at the doctor’s office the other [...]
Not Me! Monday
Posted in Daniel, Not me! Monday, outside on February 2, 2009 | 3 Comments »
That was so fun and freeing two weeks ago – Here goes Not Me! Monday again, as hosted by MckMama over at My Charming Kids.
This week, since I’m still not perfect:
I did not let my girls play in the sandbox barefoot when it was only 50 degrees out. They started with their shoes on and I’m sure [...]
