Gillian had a cold and over the past couple of days she has had a cough too. Daddy and I were a little concerned about her cough. Daddy took the day off today to take her to the doctor. I dropped John off at school this morning. He was a little shy and drop off… Continue reading Sick day

After dinner tonight, the kids started to play downstairs. John didn’t want play, he wanted to snuggle Mommy. Once Gillian saw where John was sitting she had to climb up and join the party. They sit nicely together for about 2 minutes until one gets into the other’s personal space and then all you hear… Continue reading little sister

A few weeks ago, John asked me if he could have a “warm-up” for lunch. He then proceeded to lecture me on how he gets a sandwich every day and it would be okay if he got a warm-up one day. We have found out that at the kids new school, they put all the… Continue reading Lunchbox Snob

Today was a typical Monday. I found John snuggling under his Cars blanket this morning. I gave him a few kisses to wake him up.

We made Valentine’s cookies for John’s class. John signed all of his Avenger Valentine’s cards. Daddy wrote out Gillian’s Tinkerbell cards. We also… Continue reading Hallmark Holiday

Gillian loves music. I can remember being pregnant with her and she would always kick and move around when I had the radio on. About two weeks before she was born Daddy and I went to a Jack Johnson concert and she loved it. I knew then that she would be my music baby. When… Continue reading Pandora Princess
