Today was Brielle Day, a craft fair in Brielle. We go every year. I told John that we were going and to get twenty dollars out of his little safe to put in his wallet in case he found something he wanted to buy. He did as he was told and I turned around and… Continue reading Big brother
Today we picked up Gillian’s new glasses. She is very excited and very proud of them. On the way home, she looked at John and said “Do they make me look smarter?” He said “Let’s test them! What is Pi?” Gillian took a moment and then said “Pie is something you eat. It’s in the… Continue reading Smarter
I made meatballs and pasta for dinner tonight. I served everyone their dinner and we proceeded with talking about our day. I watched John help himself to seconds and I saw him make sure he got two extra meatballs. Gillian asked me “Mama, can I have another meatball?” I said “Sorry, Johnny got the rest… Continue reading The meatball
Let me start this post by saying, Kyle and I are not planning on having a third child. We love our little family and are quite content. In the car this morning, John said to me “When a baby comes to our house, then we will have a problem.” I know he has baby on… Continue reading New Baby
I sent the kids upstairs to the bathroom for bathtime. I found them sitting on the floor waiting for me. Gillian was hugging John. John looked at me and said “What it’s her?

John and I picked Gillian up from school today. We found her and her class in the big room playing. Well Gillian wasn’t playing. She was in the corner crying.

A couple nights ago, I tucked Gillian in and gave her kisses. I went back to my room and I could hear her crying. I sent Daddy to check on her. He was in there awhile and finally came back to our room and said “Gillian said no one gave her squeezies or kisses.” Well… Continue reading I went to her
We put the kids to bed tonight. About ten minutes after being tucked in, we heard Gillian calling for Mommy. I went to check on her.
