This morning I tried out something new with Laura. We worked on some letter sounds (s, a, and t). My friend Mandy gave me a great book to use that has actions for each letter sound. So we did those, and then I wrote out the word sat and showed her how to sound it […]
I haven’t meant to be so quiet lately. I have been in a bit of a funk, plus with the craziness of Christmas, I haven’t had much time to post like I want to. Our Christmas went well. Laura has loved every present. I think her favorite is her Dora, Diego, and Baby Jaguar dolls. […]
Christmas really snuck up on me this year. It is December 22 today, and I still haven’t wrapped the kids’ presents. I finished shopping Sunday night. The Christmas cards just made it into the mail today. I spent most of last week down in DeForest at Mom and Dad’s. I left home on Tuesday and […]
Thanksgiving was good this year. Thanksgiving dinner was just Mom, Dad, Robert, Laura, Warren, and me. We got to DeForest around 11:30 on Wednesday. Warren decided to start his day at 5:15am, so we took advantage. We finished packing and got on the road early. Laura woke up, was changed and dressed, then put in […]
I forgot to mention yesterday our funny moment from the weekend. After we got there Friday afternoon, Laura needed new pants on. She had sat on a piece of cheese and had wet through her pants. Needless to say, they were dirty. So I got to the room where all the bags are to get […]
We went across the state (usually a 4 hour drive) to visit Liz and Corey. Laura did really well driving, but she didn’t get much sleep on Friday. As a result, she got real whiny. She also didn’t have a nap on Thursday, so that certainly didn’t help her mood Friday night. Well, we get […]
I didn’t intend on going a week in between posts. Life just got busy. I left Tuesday morning to go to Mom and Dad’s. I got back home Saturday afternoon. Sunday we had church in the morning and Warren’s 3 month picutres in the afternoon/evening. I have declared today a jammy day. Laura needs to […]
The drive home yesterday took a little longer than normal. We made it half-way home (Black River Falls) before the kids needed a break. After lunch, we made it to Eau Claire before Warren had another meltdown. We stopped at Oakwood Mall in Eau Claire. The have a great play area that Laura could run […]
We didn’t walk that much, but by the time this weekend is over we will have driven more than 1,000 miles. We had friends get married in Green Bay and Appleton this weekend. One was Friday and the other was Saturday (thank goodness they were on different days!). To make things a little simpler (and […]
Today exceeded my expectations. We had Owen’s birthday party at 11. Usually this is the time Laura starts to eat lunch and is in bed around noon. Today she didn’t get lunch until a little after noon. She played with Owen’s toys for most of the party. She is still too young to really play […]
