I think we’re coming to the end of an era in regards to Norah’s shoes.
I have loved putting her in Pediped Shoes since she was just a few months old. She’s currently wearing the 12-18 month size in the Pediped Originals style, with the soft leather soles. This translates into about a size […]

We left Norah’s leftover lunch plate on the table after lunch on Sunday and I noticed that she was helping herself to some hot dog pieces. I meant to get her down but I got distracted and forgot and we left and went to the grocery.
We came home and started putting things away and […]

Our little guy is growing up too…

Simon was born in February so he is celebrating his half-birthday this month. Look how big he’s getting compared to Katy.
Simon has made tremendous progress on his potty training. He is crate trained and sleeps in there at night with no accidents, and also spends time in […]

Dear Norah,Fourteen months is a whole new ballgame for you. After discovering and practicing your walking skills during month thirteen, you’re extremely mobile now and that scares me to death is very exciting.

Don’t they all just look like they are up to something?I love how Simon Peter is totally cheesing for the camera. He is getting by on his good looks around here, because we are at a loss in regards to housebreaking him. The poor guy has had the hot sauce treatment, had his […]

Since I didn’t have the camera the whole day, there are lots of fun pictures that I found when I looked back through. Here are some of my favorites by Kyle, Christy, and a few that I took as well.

Two dogs that aren’t used to playing with five little boysKaty and Simon Peter

At church this morning, our friend Jana (oh wait, there’s no link to her name because she DOESN’T blog) was talking about how her husband has been out of town and she and her boys were looking forward to our small group lunch that afternoon so that the boys could play and she could have […]

I have photographed many a baby that hates their party hat. I decided that if I could let Norah wear hers a little at a time and get used to it, maybe she would wear it for cute pictures on the day of her party when she dives head first has her first birthday […]
