Good News
My sister in law Nohelia passed her citizenship test with flying colors and will be attending her swearing-in ceremony on Friday. We are all very proud of her and excited for my brother’s family.
My mother just called to tell me that she heard from Willow’s mother and the surgery was successful! She’ll be [...]
Communication Advances
The boys have begun the transfer of learning. Forest is starting to pick up colors and Logan is starting to get some letters. But it’s irregular and still in the very early stages. On the other hand, Forest knows almost the entire alphabet now and Logan has added “purple” to his color [...]
Prayers
After spending this weekend basking in the beauty and joy that is pure love at Zonk and Alissa’s wedding, I find myself still floating on a higher frequency such that I am holding very optimistic and good intentions for the insanity that is our country’s financial and political environment right now.
Please remember Willow [...]
21 Months Pictures
I took a lot of pictures one morning this past weekend of the boys playing in the backyard. They really do seem to appreciate having this great big yard with all it’s rocks, trees, bugs, birds and all that the great outdoors has to offer.
Wedding Flowers
This weekend two of my dearest friends will be getting married to each other. Being a mom of twins I don’t get out much so I don’t have a lot of friends who I see regularly. But since we moved next door to Zonk and Alissa during my pregnancy, they weren’t able to [...]
Butterflies
On several occasions this summer I’ve had the opportunity to witness a most magical exchange. The boys playing with a butterfly. Or maybe the butterfly is playing with them. Yes, it’s more like the butterfly is playing with them. It amazes me how often a butterfly who is innocently passing through [...]
Prayer Requests
Today my mom sent me an email with two prayer requests.
One is for a friend who is undergoing testing for cancer. I would like to ask that you always remember in your prayers those who have cancer, have had cancer, or who are undergoing tests out of concern for cancer. This [...]
Recipes to share
I love to eat. Which means that I’ve had to learn to cook. And I LOVE getting new recipes to try because I like a lot of variety in my diet. So I thought I would share with you all some of my current favorites and encourage you to share any of [...]
Art with Toddlers
If you haven’t tried Crayola’s “Color Wonder” products with your toddlers yet, I highly recommend them! We’ve used the finger paints and the markers with huge success. For some reason, Logan is not a fan of coloring with crayons, he wants to draw. So we use the Crayola sidewalk chalk and sidewalk [...]
Ball Pit!
One of my favorite things as a kid was playing in the ball pit at places like Chuck-E-Cheese and Showbiz Pizza, so when I saw a bag of 100 colored balls at Wal-Mart, I had to buy it to turn one of the portable cribs into a ball pit. The boys loved it too!
I think [...]
