Meat + Potatoes
Meat + Potatoes, January 31, 2010
*Sigh* The weekend was over much too quickly. We spent nearly every waking minute of the two days out and about, and tonight the kids barely made it to their beds before crashing completely. Kate went to bed without any hesitation, though she did complain of a tummy [...]
Fuzzy and Bright
Fuzzy + Bright, January 30, 2010
My little man is always chipper and ready to start the day, no matter what time the clock reads! From sunrise to sunset, this boy is ready to roll! I love the fuzzy and bright look that morningtime brings!
Snow Days
Snow Days, January 29, 2010

Land Coral, January 25, 2010
So while Henry was at school, the girls and I dashed out to do a quick round of grocery shopping. I’m not sure how I’ve overlooked this, but there in the middle of the parking lot was this bizarre looking quirky plant with spines like coral. Strange, isn’t it? It [...]
The Missing Piece
The Missing Piece, Januar 24, 2010
So. Hank has this crazy insane puzzle. After being cooped up from the rain, he managed to complete the entire thing, and guess what? There’s one piece missing. One. The one right smack in the middle of the puzzle.

Kate has a little coat rack/shelf in her room that houses her special little trinkets. The items rotate almost daily, and today she had a snow globe (from our recent Colorado trip), a tiny wooden hen with an “h” on it (in honor of her brother, Henry), a photo of herself, [...]
