Grammie had gone to visit her brother (Uncle Bob) over the weekend, and when she returned on Monday she brought a special friend with her to show the girls. Read the rest of this entry »
Although we had a very full docket during the week beginning Monday the 5th, I managed not to take a single picture! I can’t believe that! We had a return to our old Nana-Wednesdays, complete with golf cart rides, an adventure to a little nearby park, playing in a new wiggly sprinkler, and meeting the world’s cutest puppy which chased the girls into fits of hysterical giggles.

For the past few weeks, the girls and I have been trying our hand at the storytime held at our local library. Initially we visited the 3-year-olds’ storytime hour (accidentally, as we were there for other reasons and stopped in since it was just beginning), then tried out the Under 2, and this week I think we really found our niche with the 2-year-olds’ group.

Oh boy, well I’ve really fallen behind during this past month. Where has the time gone?? Read the rest of this entry »
I’m taking a quick detour back to the middle and end of September so that I can catch up on some missed moments, which took a temporary backseat to blogging about our vacation and subsequent adventures. Comments will be short but sweet

Tuesday was a super low key day for us, but the weather was lovely and we spent a good deal of time out on the deck.

In celebration of Nana turning the big “Forty-Ten” 
we were invited to her house for a day of playing and visiting. Although the girls are getting used to the hour-long drive, its sometimes necessary to break it up with a stop at the SuperTarget in Hiram as we did that day. Daddy decided he would faint away if he didn’t have a hotdog from the concession stand, and naturally the girls decided they needed to split one as well. Read the rest of this entry »
Thursday morning Victoria woke up with a low-grade but consistent fever accompanied by a flow of never-ending snot… not good. I knew it was either teething or something viral and decided to have a low-key day to see what was going on. Read the rest of this entry »
The week following Victoria’s birthday party, we kept it somewhat low-key. No pictures from Monday, and just a few from Tuesday, such as the one from Scarlett’s demonstration on helmet safety while riding her “motorcycle”: Read the rest of this entry »
The Thursday following Victoria’s 1st birthday was pretty laid back – we mostly stayed home, played and cleaned up for the arrival of Jim’s parents the following day. We did however find a gigantic dead moth on the deck, which Scarlett was fascinated with. It was fairly brittle though, so as soon as she started squishing the wings it fell apart (ew.): Read the rest of this entry »
