A Trip to the Garden

nobody@vox.com(mmk) — Mon, 26 May 2008 11:42:37 -0700

This morning we finally got some time as a family since Jason wasn't working...not that it was a holiday for him, but he took a day off anyway. We packed up and headed off to have a picnic at the flower garden on campus. The kids had so much fu...

Art Evolution

Alanna made this picture for me yesterday. It started out as a sticker collage, but then she whipped out her pink glitter gel pen that arrived in her Easter basket, and it became a portrait of the two of us. Her drawings have really evolved re...

Big Bed News

So Emory totally surprised us with moving to the big bed. It has been a seamless transition, and she was not at all the jack-in-the-box I was expecting. I underestimated her again! She loves it and hasn't seemed to have an ounce of difficulty w...

Gearing Up

Warning: If you are not a Sanderson or a Murray...or have never attended a Sanderson party...you probably won't get this post. So I mentioned in a previous blog that I was transferring our wedding video from VHS to DVD. Tonight at dinner, Alan...

Big Girl Bed

Tonight is Emory's first night in the big girl bed. We talked it up today, and I think Aidan was more excited about Emory sleeping in a big bed than Emory. She seemed pretty psyched though. After the bed was delivered, I made it up, and she cli...

Growing Up Too Fast

This weekend we bought a big girl bed for Emory! Oh my gosh, where has the time gone? I cannot believe we are about to be without a single crib in our home. It is hard to believe just over a year ago we had three cribs, and now we will have non...

A Long Day

nobody@vox.com(mmk) — Thu, 15 May 2008 18:23:22 -0700

Today was "one of those days," but we made it to the end...at which point I was ready to fall into bed. Emory is giving me a run for my money; today she decided she was going to test me at every turn. I handled things calmly for a good portion...

A Spoiled Mommy

nobody@vox.com(mmk) — Sun, 11 May 2008 08:06:13 -0700

Alanna could hardly wait to let me open my gifts and cards this morning. I have to say, they do better than I do. I'm horrible at holding onto gifts; I get so excited it's hard for me to keep things a secret! So they spoiled me with all sorts o...

Secret Mission

nobody@vox.com(mmk) — Sat, 10 May 2008 16:38:27 -0700

Last night, Jason announced to Aidan, Alanna and Emory that they would be going on a secret mission with him Saturday morning. After tucking them in, Jason asked me to leave the room and close the door, and they had a little conference about "the...
