Gillian’s school was closed today for an in-service for the teachers. I asked Grandma if she would watch Gillian during the day. Gillian was super excited to have a day at Grandma’s all by herself. On Monday when Daddy picked Gillian up from school, Miss Patti asked Daddy “Is Gillian going to be in school… Continue reading Bean’s adventure
Tonight at dinner, John taught me all about friction. He said “You know gravity holds us down. Friction stops us from sliding all over the place. Without gravity we would be flying. But friction is really important. Imagine a room that has carpet on one side and no carpet on the other. The carpet makes… Continue reading Friction
Now that Aunt Missy and Uncle T have let everyone know that they are expecting their first baby in August, I can finally blog about it! We found out on Christmas morning that John and Gillian were going to be big cousins. I tried to tell John. I said “John, did you hear? Aunt Missy… Continue reading Big cousins
Grandma made Gillian and I new infinity scarves. Grandpa gave them to me at work yesterday. I picked up Gillian and she saw that I was wearing my new scarf and she asked “New scarf?” I said “Yes. Yours is in the car.” I gave her the new scarf and she said “I can put… Continue reading The scarf
I try to make a nice breakfast for the family on Sundays. This morning, Gillian and John wanted to help. I put Gillian in charge of coffee, while John helped me make the eggs.

We snuggled for a few minutes and he kissed me on the forehead and went downstairs to find Daddy. We didn’t say anything. We just enjoyed the moment together. Today Gillian… Continue reading The little things
Aunt Betty came over on Sunday to help me decorate Valentine’s cookies. John and Daddy decided they would build Legos all day. Gillian, on the other hand, told me “I’s going to help you. I do the sprinkles!” When Aunt Betty arrived, Gillian squirmed into her lap and refused to move. Again she told us… Continue reading Cookie assistant
I woke up this morning, and it wasn’t snowing. But I checked online to see if the kids had school. Both schools were closed in anticipation of today’s snow storm. I told Daddy about the school closures and he said “Okay.” Luckily, he was scheduled off today because he worked on Saturday. I got ready… Continue reading Another Snow Day
Everyday I ask the kids “What was your favorite part of the day?” The kids answers are always amusing. Most days they say “Playing outside.” But with the cold weather we have had lately, I haven’t gotten that response. Yesterday I asked John what his favorite part of the day, he said “Thinking about you!”… Continue reading Favorite
I love picking the kids up from school. I got Gillian first. She was in the big room riding bikes with Dorlisa. They had their backs to the door and didn’t see me when I walked in. I watched the two of them have a little conversation and then take off across the room. Dorlisa… Continue reading Pick up
