Gillian likes to sleep in on the weekends. This morning, she found me in the kitchen. After I got my morning kisses and squeezies, she asked me “What you doing?” I told her that I was making waffles. She said “OK I help!” If you have ever had the assistance of a 3 year old,… Continue reading Waffles
Earlier this week, I asked Miss Brittany if she would cut John’s hair this weekend. Miss Brittany is our neighbor (she is also Mr. Matt’s wife) and she is a hairdresser. I wasn’t sure if she would be comfortable cutting a little boy’s hair. But she said she would be happy to give John a haircut. … Continue reading The haircut
Gillian and I picked up John from school today. We noticed that there was a plastic fireman’s hat in his backpack. I asked John if a fireman came to school today. He said “Yes!

After John’s first week, he proudly told me “I got the highest score! No one else had a score that high!” We explained to him that in golf you want… Continue reading Golf lessons
This morning, John came into our bed and snuggled up next to me. He grabbed my arm and started rolling back and forth. I was ok with the snuggling, but not when he was basically tugging my arm. I kicked him out of the bed. But of course I couldn’t fall back to sleep after… Continue reading Wake up

As we drove down Swimming River Road towards Lincroft to pick up Gillian, John said “Did we just past Swimming River?” I said yes. He said “Did you see if there was dirt in the… Continue reading car conversations
Daddy asked the kids what they wanted for dessert tonight. John opted to have his leftover Italian ice from last night. Gillian said out of the side of her mouth “I want big cookies. I wanna dip ’em in milk.” Daddy gave Gillian her cookies and milk and John, his Italian ice. John took one… Continue reading Dessert menu
