There's a present under our tree!

One Thing - 12/8/14

A friend from church brought over a toy tool bench for our kids this afternoon. They are loving it!

One Thing - 12/6/14

After a couple of crazy (but good) days in a row, which included us needing 3 babysitters in 2 days, we are all wiped out. As one may guess, Jude's napping schedule has been out of whack. Tonight as he lay in the middle of the floor in the boys' bedroom while I was having a heart to heart conversation with Jonah he decided he just couldn't stay awake any longer, so he rolled over and went to sleep. We are thankful for a couple of quieter days coming Monday and Tuesday! 

Silas tried to wake him up but had no success!

Jonah and I finished up reading Stuart Little and began a new book this afternoon. Life sure was different nearly 150 years ago!

It's almost never a good thing at our house when it is quiet and you don't know where Lydia is at. Today while making lunch I realized that it had been a little while since I had seen or heard her. So, I went searching. Thankfully, I found her quickly and no messes were made. Instead, I found this - 

Sitting on the potty fully clothed and reading books. Maybe this is a step toward potty training readiness? (I have no plans to start that process anytime soon!)

And, one more thing to share. Mike wrote a sweet note of encouragement to Jonah last night for him to find when we started school this morning. Jonah wrote him a note in response. He is excited for Daddy to read it when he comes home after work.

After well visits for both Jude (6 months) and Jonah (6 years), we all headed to the cities for a trip to Costco. It had been awhile since we have had a day out together, so it was about time. I love how a family trip to Costco can be a great adventure for us in this stage of life. We ate lunch and then spent about an hour and a half just walking around, checking out cool items, and trying all the food samples. We had a fabulous time!

One Thing - 12/1/14

Jude's improved rolling skills now mean that laying him on his activity mat is pretty much pointless. And, he has been trying like crazy to get up on his hands and knees. Please don't start moving too soon, sweet boy. We aren't ready for it!
