Thanksgiving Weekend

By Erin | Published November 26, 2007

We spent this Thanksgiving in Detroit with Kevin’s family. It was a little different b/c Kevin’s sister’s family didn’t come (we missed you guys)… Ethan didn’t know what to do without his cousins to play with. But it was still a very nice visit. Kevin’s aunt and uncle from GA were in town so that [...]

After Ethan’s nightly story (read by Dad) and drink of milk he headed off to say good night to mommy who was feeding Lucas. On his way he passed our newly decorated Christmas tree. Here is the conversation that followed: Ethan: “Bye-bye Christmas tree.” (short pause) “Good night Christmas tree.” (long pause and moving closer [...]

Chumley’s Visit

By Erin | Published November 19, 2007

We had the pleasure of having the Chumley family come visit us this past week. What a treat! Josh and Jo are friends from college… Jo and I spent a semester in Cambridge, England together and we were in each others weddings. They live in Arizona now so we don’t get to see each other [...]

Lots of Leaves!

By Erin | Published November 6, 2007

We have lots of leaves in our back yard! And most of the trees aren’t even bare yet! Having kids to play in the leaves make raking them much more enjoyable. Ethan has had a great time running and jumping in the piles and throwing them all over the place. Lucas, on the other hand, [...]

- I’m not sure our youngest, Samuel, is going to make it to his first birthday. I think our daughter is trying to get rid of him. I think she loves him, she talks to him and about him often. But she has also done things to make us think otherwise. When he is in his swing she likes to push it beyond what it was meant to go. She likes to poke his eyes. She threw his favorite pacifier into the garbage disposal (unknown to Erin until she ran it). She has picked him up and dropped him repeatedly (and tried to pick him up many other times). She has taken his blanket, covered his face with it and laid on him. She has put a marble, a pretzel, a piece of pizza, and other things into his mouth. I’m just not sure if Samuel is going to make it because his older sister is out to get him.

- This is Ethan’s way of saying this room is off limits for Alayna. Now every door in our house, even Alayna’s own room, has this sign. Even the outside doors. It’s Alayna’s catch 22 - can’t go in, can’t go out.

- We went to the Midwest Homeschool Convention in Cincinnati a couple weeks ago. It was crowded!! Besides the fact that they scheduled the conference to begin at the exact same time as opening day for the Cincinnati Reds (~10,000 convention goers + ~40,000 baseball fans = no available parking + lots of frustration!) it was a nice trip. Samuel enjoyed the big bed, Erin and I took the floor. ;)
