Our Tommy-boy is one!
I know this is cliché, but I can’t believe a year has gone by already. Where did the time go? I am so enjoying this little boy everyday. This is such a fun age! Here he is after he had eaten his chocolate birthday cake. Usually the kids pick out what kind of cake…

Christmas Vacation
We had a nice quiet Christmas at home. We didn’t get a ton of pictures, but started some new traditions this year, including drawing names for each other and chasing around Walmart to get the perfect gift for our person with our allowance money, our last minute Christmas card picture that turned out really well…

Lucy’s “friend”
Lucy has loved Sesame Street and all of the characters and monsters since she started talking. And of course, Elmo is her favorite. And somehow, over the course of the last year, Elmo has become her imaginary friend. For example, the other day when she was saying the blessing on the food, she stopped halfway…

Oh, Christmas Tree! Oh, Christmas Tree!
The Before The After Having kittens does not go well with having a Christmas tree. Need I say more? We had our tree up for less than a week. The second time the kittens knocked it over, the stand on the bottom of the tree broke. So I guess we will be going the rest…

We heard some very exciting news from Crystine when we got there. She announced the forthcoming birth…

Matthew requests pie almost every year in place of his birthday cake. This year he requested a pear pie and it was delicious with the recipe my mom used to make when I was growing up. Thanks for the recipe, Mom! It turned out so well and the pie did not last long. It never…

The Rest of October
Our annual Halloween cookie decorating. Tons of fun as always, especially with black frosting! Tommy is truly moving around. One day he was inch-worming, the next he was on a full speed crawl. That boy is fast and I am still trying to baby-proof the house. We need a gate for the bathroom where we…

Another Birthday–Lucy is Free!
A few weeks before Lucy’s birthday, about present buying time, we asked Lucy what she wanted for her birthday. She answered, “A kitty.” So it got us thinking. Why didn’t have one? Or two? So these are the newest members of our family, not a great picture, I know. But maybe this gives you an…

Jenny’s Birthday
So this is very late. It seems like Jenny’s birthday gets posted about months after the fact. At least it is up here. I guess something to shoot for next year is getting this done right after it happens. A picture of the birthday girl holding her little brother. Both Matthew and Jenny had their…
