          I needed to get photos of Mckenzie for my Letters to Our Children post this month so I took the girls to the park. Even though it was cold, Mckenzie was very cooperative (she loathes the cold) so after photos and playing at the playground, I took the girls to Starbucks for…

        The weather was nice enough to check out the zoo in St. Louis. It was a nice place and the best part is that it is free! And we found street parking so we saved some money there too! For the most part, Cooper hung out in his stroller and didn’t seem all…

      Abby’s school offered the kids a chance to write a story and Abby took the opportunity to do so. When I finished typing her story (only took several hours as she changed her mind many times while she dictated what she wanted me to write) and handed her the printed pages, she got the…

      Cooper loves to play with the window in my closet. He looks out and bangs on it and tries to pull the blinds up.

    I had visions of getting photos of all the children in their Valentine’s clothing, but that never happened. Both girls went over to play at a friend’s house after school and by the time they got home, Cooper wasn’t very cooperative and the girls had marker and who knows what else all over their shirts.…

    Cooper loves to play with the bathroom door and normally I don’t mind, except for the few times he has opened drawers right next to the door, making it difficult for me to get in. Luckily, the gap is large enough for my arm to slip through and shut the drawers so I can get…

      Seriously? How can Cooper be 11 months old already! He is so good at walking now and he barely ever crawls anymore. He loves to play hide and seek as well as chasing his sisters and Dad around the house. He LOVES grapes and bananas and strawberris and Cheerios.  He’s not so fond of…

    We had a family UNO night and it was a blast! The girls got a little goofy from all the candy we gave them (oops) and were excited to stay up late!
