Tonight at dinner, Gillian told us about Health Class and how they practiced “stop, drop and roll.” She also told us “If there’s smoke then you gotta crawl. And if there’s a fire then you don’t go back to get your toys.” I said “That’s right, no matter what we don’t go back in the… Continue reading Fire Safety
Last Monday, was my Grandma’s birthday. She would have been John and Gillian’s great-grandmother. Unfortunately she passed away before Daddy and I got married. She never got to meet John and Gillian. But I know she looks down on us. I see a lot of her in my Gillian. Anyway after we went to the… Continue reading My Grandma’s Birthday
John, Gillian and I spent the day at the beach with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Betty and Justin. When we arrived Gillian insisted on building a sandcastle. She also insisted on getting water to pour all over her castle. The boys had enough of her demands and ended up in the water. I then caught her… Continue reading Beach day
I made vanilla ice cream on Saturday. This kids were super excited to try it out. I also gave them the option of having Magic Shell on top of it. For those who don’t know, Magic Shell is chocolate that you pour over the ice cream and it hardens. It always reminds me of my Grandma… Continue reading Magic Shell
Gillian’s favorite princess is Cinderella. She has loved her since she first watched the cartoon movie a few years ago. I captured one of my favorite pictures of Gillian experiencing the magic of Cinderella. When we were in Disney last year, she got to meet Cinderella. As a Mom, it was amazing to watch her… Continue reading Cinderella

We got to Grandma’s house and once they saw Aunt Betty and Grandma they forgot about… Continue reading A day at Grandma’s
I snuggled up with Gillian tonight and watched her put her fingers through the loops on her manket (her favorite green blanket that Grandma crocheted). I don’t even think she realizes she is doing it. It is just routine. I asked her “Why do you do that?” She said “‘Cause, Grandma makes the loops. And… Continue reading ‘Cause
I dropped Gillian off at school this morning. When we walked in her classroom, Miss Lissette kneeled down and said “Do you know so and so from the kindergarten class? Well their mommy had a baby today! Baby Matthew. Isn’t that exciting?” Gillian said “I like babies. Do you know I have a baby cousin?… Continue reading Drop off
A few weeks ago, I wrote about Gillian and her little green baby doll blanket. Her baby blanket just fell apart and Gillian couldn’t explain what happened. I washed the baby blanket and we showed Grandma. Grandma determined that it would be easier (and faster) to make a new blanket. Gillian got the new blanket… Continue reading Baby blanket – part 2
Tonight Daddy and I had a conference with John’s teacher. We asked Grandma and Grandpa to watch the kids while we were at the conference. When we arrived home, we found Gillian trying to spread blankets on the floor. I told her to put them away and that made Gillian very upset. Daddy calmed her… Continue reading Clap
