Daily Life

Just some shots and stories of daily life...

My little rock star. She put the orange/yellow barrette in.


Mark took Lydia home from a church dinner last week in the truck. Her comment was, “Daddy, mommy drives fast!” BUSTED!

Tummy time for Toby - and the rest of the household (I love how Guinney just plops right down in the midst of the crew)


Lydia continues to be a riot. We’re having a rough time with her going to school. She cries when she’s dropped off pleading, “Don’t leave me, mommy.” Her teachers say she calms down quickly and does wonderfully during the day. In fact last week their comment was, “We wish we had a whole room of her.” Pretty flattering. She serenades the class at lunch. Two weeks ago was “Jesus loves me.” Last week was the “ABC’s”. Lydia actually naps there this year (last year she had to be separated from the other kids because she’d talk to them while they were trying to sleep), but awakens quite disoriented and upset. The past couple weeks she has sobbed for about an hour after school. Naturally this adds a significant amount of stress to my otherwise lovely “mother’s day out.” I shall persevere and pray this phase passes quickly.

Boxes are great fun. One of the kids' Christmas presents arrived in this box. It was ready to go out for recycling when Lydia claimed it by getting her blanket and baby and curling up inside.
