Thomas

And Family

Easter 2010

Easter was a busy weekend filled with egg hunts, food, church, food, egg hunts, family, fun, egg dying, food, and egg hunts.
We started with the egg hunt at church.  Hailey wore a great dress made by my mom.  It was so cute.  AND we found shoes that matched it perfectly.  Thomas got to love on [...]

5

Thomas turned 5 two weeks ago.
The time has flown by.
The time has dragged on.
He continues to amaze me each day.
He talks without stopping.  All the time.
He loves his sister.
His sister drives him crazy.
He is very artistic and creative. I’d love to say it came from me…
He is starting to read.
He is a “genius” in math. [...]

An Itch

So I’ve been getting an itch to blog. Possibly because it’s been 4 months and I have yet to write my daughter a 1 year letter.  Possibly because Thomas will be 5 in exactly 2 weeks and I think I’m going to have an issue there. Or maybe because I just miss bragging about my [...]

Aug. 2 - Something I will never understand

I took Thomas shopping today for a new outfit to wear to his first day of school.  I had been meaning to do this, but it had gotten away from me.  After talking to my mom this morning she went through the check-list of everything a kid needs before their first day of school and [...]

Aug. 1

Thomas starts Pre-K on Monday. As in the “grade” before he starts kindergarten. As any mother can attest to, this seems completely mind blowing. I look at him and I know that he is older, but I am just not really sure how it happened. I have gotten where I enjoy him so much in [...]

All They Need is Love

Max’s mom and I joke that we one day hope to love our children as much as they love each other.

These pictures are from their end of the school year performance. They sang “All you need is love” by the Beatles. The backs of their shirts said best friends forever and they had drawn a [...]

The Past Month

The month of May has been a busy one. I have taken a lot of pictures of a lot of things. Some of them follow this post. Some of them go along with the post. Some parts of the post do not have pictures. Hopefully you’ll be able to tell what goes with what!!
Hailey turned [...]

From Thomas’ View

This is a questionnaire thing that has been going around the internet lately.  I thought it seemed like a neat idea to freeze frame where Thomas is right now.  I asked him the questions and these are his answers.  You can tell from many of the answers that we recently went through some discipline issues.  [...]

The highs and lows of life

So in the couple of weeks since I last posted Thomas turned 4 and Hailey turned 5 months.  There should be newsletters written, updates about what they’re doing, etc.  I have mentally started Thomas’ 4 year newsletter in my head a hundred times.  Last week we were just having too much fun for me to actually [...]
