Summer! So – it’s hard to organize a family.  Especially a family with many little children.  I’m trying to figure out something that will actually work for us, but for now it definitely feels more like herding cats than the ideal picture of ducklings following their mother, all in a line.  Yeah, no line here.  […]

It’s been a full year now since Aaron joined our family. It’s amazing how fast it feels. And yet how long ago it seems at the same time.

Aaron at 7 months Aaron continued building on his skills from June and by July could freely scoot himself across the floor to play with his toys. He continued to enjoy eating … … his seat.And sometimes actual food as well.  Maybe.    A sweet moment We had just finished the little ones’ bath.  Aaron […]

I’ve gotten behind.  Way behind.  This is about 6 months behind.  Yikes!  But I don’t want to just skip all the months I’ve missed.  So I have a goal to catch up this week, at least through October.  Here I go…  :) Aaron at 6 months old Aaron is a generally happy little one.  Sometimes […]

Saturday, May 3rd Aaron at 5 months.  Not only could he lift his head well, he could now push his chest up! I think I’m better at taking “month day” pictures for him than I have been for any other child.  It helps that it’s practically the beginning of the month.  :)  (Though these were […]

“Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?”  (Matthew 7:4) Aaron started running a fever on Saturday, so he had a bit of a rough day.  During a bit of respite, when he was feeling a […]

April doesn’t have as many “slice of life” photos as Bryan was home nearly the whole month.  I wasn’t complaining.  :) We started the month off with spring break.  Bryan didn’t get back until Friday night that week.  Poor guy missed spring break altogether. I took advantage of the time off school to encourage Jonathan […]

So… yeah.  I got behind again.  I started working on the March post in early April – so timely!  And then it took me nearly 4 months to finish it.  Oops. July isn’t quite over yet and I still have some pictures to gather, but for now, here is a preview: Aaron hit the 7 […]

Snow is pretty rare here in Georgia.  Some years we’re lucky if we even see a couple of flakes.  Because of this, we don’t have many city snowplows or sand/salt trucks available. Even a “minor” winter storm can cause the roads to get pretty sketchy, even for a native Utahn.  Out here, snow usually comes […]

First of all (literally, the first day of the month), this happened: Kathryn lost her first tooth. It was knocked out. Yep, knocked out.  Courtesy of Emma. In Emma’s defense, she was aiming for Jonathan.  Not that that makes it any better… Jonathan played tooth fairy for her.  :) Other than the fact that the […]
