• Meant to be a big brother

  Okay. So this top picture is of Matthew when he was 16 months old. I was about four months pregnant with Jenny and was wondering how Matthew would do with a new sibling. We went to visit my brother and his wife and I met up with one of my old roommate while there. Her

• Happy Birthday, Mannie!

  Only have videos for this post. We did have a fun party though! I am so glad Matthew is not picky or concerned with the details that don’t matter. Tom and I had this whole thing planned that instead of Matthew opening his birthday gifts, we would set up a treasure hunt for him to

• Hidden Meanings

  I haven’t written one of these kinds of posts in a long time–the kind that are just words and things I am thinking. I have been contemplating a lot lately how there is something good to find all around us. Yesterday I was reading “Green Eggs and Ham” to Lucy and was thinking about how

• Autumn Creations & Happenings

  Jenny lost her first tooth! And her red eyes in the picture go so well with her shirt, don’t you think? Jenny brought home this little leaf bouquet that she had made at recess from the leaves and stems on the playground. Very festive and creative. I wish it were one of those things that

• Tagged

  I was tagged by a friend and thought it would be fun to answer these questions. 1.If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go? Why? I would go to Mongolia. That is where Tom served his mission and I have heard a lot about it. Plus, it sounds like my kind

• We learn by example.

  This is what I am trying to remember and what we are trying to teach our two older children right now. Others learn from what we do, especially those who are young and impressionable. This was not staged. Lucy just saw her daddy reading his scriptures one morning and she wanted to do what he
