What Is It?
Do you have a son? I do. Have you ever heard this yelped in a very over-excited voice that bounces off the walls of your house? “Mom! Can I kill it?” [...]
Laud is One!
We don’t usually do much for one year birthdays as I’ve found my babies are rarely interested in anything yet; they want to eat the paper wrapping instead of get to the toy, not really interested in cake or icing yet, and would rather play musical baby than sit still. [...]
He Sings in the Backseat
Our baby-toddler enjoys singing!

Baby on the Events
March 21, 2024 Baby on the Events (Throwback story from December 21, 2023) Jillian called, “Mom, I’m taking some pictures of Laud!” Lucas jumped along to help out. He loves taking pictures of his little brother. Somewhere in their cute little thoughts, they decided our four-month-old should take a picture [...]
The Joy of Building
The Joy of Building March 15, 2024 When I was a child, legos were my thing. I was very proud of the fact that I could build anything, especially when the box had a suggested age far above mine. Pre-teen to teenager: it was the Sauder stuff, you know, that [...]

Thea’s Counting March 9, 2024 “Listen mom!” Yells Thea, “listen Christina!” She excitedly counts down from 20. She’s been doing that for a while, but today had both of us in the living room when she was showing off. She had just read a picture book to Laud and spelled [...]
