Some Pictures for Today: Blast from the Past - April Snow Kids

You are getting some more pictures from our April trip to MN today. And this installment is dedicated to my kids who wanted snow on our trip and they got it - a blizzard in April that snowed us in! 

Look at those smiles!

I think David had been napping during the snowman-making session, but he didn't waste any time (even time getting on a jacket or boots) when he woke up! He had to get a fresh handful of snow to eat right away!

He wised up, though, after the first moment of over-excitement. Now this guy looks ready to play in some snow!

And, of course, some of the snow hills were a little large for the wee ones and they needed a bit of aid reaching their summits. Thanks, Hallel!

Love, Us.

A Video for Today: David's First Cowboy Lesson

Enjoy! We watched a Disney movie over the weekend that had Pecos Bill in it, so David is now fully into a cowboy obsession. He may not be the fastest on the draw, but he sure has got the look down to an art!

A Picture for Today: Potty Training!? Yup!

I know... I'm crazy, but I'm OK with that. I like to think it is a good kind of crazy. What I am referring to is my desire to get my kiddos out of diapers as soon as physically possible. And now, with a son who has a super-excema rear, I have decided to start at my earliest point yet. The other two started their training at about 1 year, but Patrick has officially started just before the 10 month mark. And, I dare say, he is doing great! Just look how cute he is on that little pot! Plus, I am convinced that it is due to our potty training theory that both of the elder kids are book-aholics! That alone makes the poopy and wet pants worth it, if you ask me!

Hope your day isn't as messy as mine is sure to be!

Love, Us.

A Video for Today: Poem #3

For today: Thérèse reciting "Persevere".

Happy Sunday!

A Video for Today: T's Second Poem

We didn't have any new pictures, so I quick pulled T off of the breakfast table to share another one of her poems with you. Enjoy! She gets really excited about this one.

Have a great weekend!

Love, Us.

A Movie for Today: T's First Recitation

For today, I've decided to start recording T's poetry recitations. This is the first one she ever memorized, and she memorized it back in April, so it is a bit rusty, but still very cute! And yes, the original poem referred to an "Aunt B" and we did take liberties to change it to "Aunt T"!

Love, Us.

A Picture for Today: Blast from the Past - Some of the Kids' Favorites

In searching for some pictures to share today, I came across these of the kids with three of their favorite people back during our blizzard-filled MN trip in April. Enjoy!
(I think some of these are actually my mom's pictures - Thanks, Mom!)
