John and Gillian went on an adventure to the Philly zoo today with Mimi and Poppy. The kids told me little bits about their day. John told me “We saw like 7 turtles! And not little ones. Big ones!” Gillian said “Poppy hold me up to see the monkeys!” I asked “What was your favorite… Continue reading The zoo
In the car this morning, John and I talked about going to the beach. He said “I hope I find a sand dollar.” I said “That would be awesome. I never found a sand dollar at the beach.” He said “I’ve seen them one time. You know, when the touch tank was at camp. Did… Continue reading The sand dollar
Yesterday Daddy signed John up for trial Tae Kwon Do classes. John has expressed desire to take Karate classes. Daddy thought that this will help with John’s concentration and listening skills. Today was his first class. He was very excited. I asked if he would smile in one picture. He said “No. This is serious.… Continue reading Trial class
Today was John’s last day of camp. He was not happy that the end was here. This morning he said “I just wish summer would last forever.” I can’t blame him. This summer has been really great. We found a great camp for him and he has had a lot of fun. He has gotten… Continue reading Last day
Today was the second day of camp shows at Briar Hill. Since I am so close to camp, I had decided to go to go both days. Today I asked Grandma and Grandpa to join me.

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
John and Gillian became big cousins for the first time on Monday. They have been anxiously waiting the arrival of their new cousin, Mackenzie Catherine.

We took the kids to play mini golf today. John is very serious about mini golf (he is serious-er now that he is 7). Gillian is not so serious about mini golf. Gillian was easily distracted. She would putt and then stand in the middle of the hole so everyone else would have to hit… Continue reading Mini Golf
