Taking the kids to see the Easter Bunny is always an adventure. John’s first visit was pretty uneventful in March 2008. The next year however, he was a year older and he was not too happy to meet the big bunny. It looks like he is trying to run away in this picture. I think we missed… Continue reading The Easter Bunny
Tonight at dinner, I gave John a little wink. Normally in response to that he attempts to wink back and basically ends up blinking at me. Not tonight. He winked back at me! I had him show Daddy his new ability. John then tells us “I can close this eye, but not the other one.… Continue reading Wink and a nod
John has no patience and a really good memory. I made the mistake of telling him on Friday that Aunt Betty was going to come visit this weekend. We found out on Friday that Aunt Betty was coming over on Sunday. And we told John that. Well first thing Saturday morning, John found me in… Continue reading Patience

He wanted to help me make cookies and I told him that he needed to clean up the table before he could help. He looked at me and said “what am I an octopus?” I… Continue reading Octopus and nighttime help
Mimi got tickets for the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus for Saturday night. She originally got 4 tickets and Daddy & I debated whether or not to take Gillian. We were unsure if she would pay attention or get bored quickly. We later found out that the tickets and Mimi got were for a suite and… Continue reading The Circus
Before Christmas, one of the ladies from work gave me a few toys for the kids and two Melissa & Doug Chore Charts. I honestly thought when she gave them to me that it was a little soon to give John a list of chores to do on a daily basis, but both Daddy and… Continue reading The Chore Chart
Every five weeks, I meet my mom and sister for our haircut appointment. It is nice to meet up with them for only a hour or so just to catch up. Gillian’s hair has gotten very long and needed to be trimmed. Today Gillian had her first haircut. Daddy had to work today, so I… Continue reading Haircut
