We decided to have Sydney’s birthday at the park this year, a perk for summer birthdays. (Her cuz, whose party was cancelled due to the snow storm, doesn’t exactly have that option!) We basically just had a “family” party, but even with both sides of our family, it’s way past 20 people! *For Carson’s first […]
Our precious Sydney turns ONE year old today! I can’t imagine our family or my life without her. She is my sweet Bird, my heart. I won’t type too much more sentimental sap, because I’ve shed plenty of joyful tears making this little picture montage for her big day. I know this song may be […]
To 99.9% of you, this video will be dull and boring. But to me, it is hope. It is joy. It is potential. It is a dream come true. It is…..MY CHILDREN PLAYING NICELY TOGETHER WITHOUT MY GUIDANCE!
In honor of her birthday approaching, this will be a pretty Birdie-centric blogweek. Sydney is ON THE MOVE, people! She is loving her newfound mobility, and it is pretty darn cute to watch. Some of these are blurry, but this is a fun feature of my camera that I tried out on the speedy girl. […]
About, uh, let’s see, it was THIRTEEN years ago, I started dating this really cute, funny guy. We had a mutual family friend (who’s wife, JAN, reads this blog regularly) who told me before I left for college that I should look him up while at school, because he came from a great family. So, […]
My last 2 posts have been very wordy, so I reminded myself to take some pictures this morning to post. Carson recently earned a new big boy bike by filling a sticker chart for things like eating all his dinner, having a good quiet time, helping mommy, using kind words & controlling anger. OK, that […]
Here’s another old post that I remember fondly, which you may or may not have read. I realized this week that it has been one full year since we started potty training Carson. He’s mostly done a great job, and we’re so proud of his progress! But, oh boy, it was a crazy start! We […]
Taken June 2006 Oh, man. I’m telling you. My son. Carson. OH wow. What amazing things God must have in store for him, because his personality is SOMETHING ELSE. Dr. Dobson compares a strong-willed child to a grocery cart that has a stubborn, broken wheel that makes pushing the cart difficult. It takes a little […]
First, here is a supercute pic of my nephew Jack, since (AHEM) his parents don’t blog that often these days. Jack has a Minkee, like Carson & Sydney, but his method of transporting his lovey is as seen in this picture. This is not him being silly or playing peek-a-boo, this is simply his convenient […]
Thanks to my Blog BFF, AJ, for sending me this hilarious option for Future Sydney to consider to decorate her “special toes.” (Click here for the post about her toes.)
