$2 well spent


Recently when I stopped in Gymboree to check out their clearance sale, they had some fun things for just $0.99. The girls were with me and really wanted to get something. So I told them they could pick from the bins - a cute hat for Anne & Leah's pink glasses & scarf (she's actually been wanting glasses for a while and has been wanting to see the eye doctor in hopes she might need some - I'm sure she doesn't, but this will appease her for awhile). Quite a look, don't you think?

Jacob's School Work Today

So I've really become more selective in what school papers I save. This one from today was definitely one of them. It made me think of Grandpa & Uncle Ben. I had to text the picture to Ben, too, so we could get Jacob on the list to have a turn to go sometime. You just never know what surprise may come home from school with them. And just for explanation, for Jacob's birthday, Patrick did go meet him in the cafeteria for lunch - obviously it was something that stuck with Jacob.

Pictures of Catherine

Catherine at 6 weeks (1/10/12)



These pictures below were actually from a week or so ago - taken on 1/24, so she was 8 weeks old. I can't believe she's two months now! It really does just go too quickly!






Once again, feeling overdue with any updating. She's such a sweet baby I can't believe how much we love her. She's beginning to have a bit better routine, which is nice. She is also smiling so much more often. All the kids just light up when they talk to her & she smiles back. I'm sure I light up, too. I can't get enough of that cute little grin.

End of an Era

So this picture makes me really page back a few years to when Leyton & Nathaniel were about 4; well, really it started around age 2 and continued until around 5. Oh the days with all the guitar playing we've done. I have lots of footage recorded of their singing and dancing to their favorite hits by Jim Cosgrove & some Ralph's World. This guitar has been through a lot. It's Leyton's. They now have electric guitars that they enjoy, but he sure got some use out of this one. It seems like it was Willie Nelson or someone who had their guitar long enough to cause similar wear from the strumming (not the broken end of course, ha). Anyway, before I got rid of it, I felt compelled to get a picture.
