More of Alanna's creative language at work.... We were sitting at lunch the other day, and she informed me that she was going to play "foot-to-foot-lie-good-try-good." I have no idea how you spell that....but that's what it sounded like. Well, ...

Anyone who knows Emory knows we use many words to describe her zest for life...passionate, intense, energetic....she is a child of extremes, and we wouldn't have it any other way. This doesn't always make things run so smoothly when our personali...

We've been toying with the idea of taking the kids to a movie for a while. We weren't quite sure it was a good idea, for many reasons, but since Jason is on vacation for a few days, we decided to give it a whirl with Wall-E. It looked pretty ta...

Picking up from yesterday afternoon: Emory woke up very grumpy from her "nap"...so I asked her if she wanted to put underwear back on, and she declined. I knew if I pushed it we would have an all out screaming fit, so I decided to end the potty ...

Emory practiced wearing underwear for a little while the last couple of days, and today we decided to jump in with both feet. She has done fabulous so far, staying dry from 7:30 to 1:00. She asked to go potty a couple of times, once she caught h...

When we walked into the gym yesterday for the Olympics, it so happened that a soccer program I was looking at for the kids had a registration table right there in the lobby. I spoke with them briefly, and it turned out that there were enough open...

This morning Aidan and Alanna had their Olympic Stars exhibition at the gym. It was so cute. There were about 20 kids participating, and they did a little gymnastics meet to show off the skills they've learned this year. Oddly, they decided to...

Tonight I was getting ready to wrap-up some things for the work I've been doing, and I got up to put the laptop away and as I stepped toward the table where it belongs, I heard a little scuffle and saw two little people suddenly turn and try to sc...

Well Emory had her first trial run with Lightning McQueen underwear this morning. We aren't jumping in with both feet, but I told her that I bought the last box of diapers, and then we'll start training officially after I finish working. For som...

Once again, while I was getting ready this morning, the kids had a tea party (after Aidan and Emory gave up on a long, drawn out, very loud scuffle over the backpack that holds the picnic set they used.) I love looking out and seeing them playing...
