Since we got 7 inches or so of snow yesterday, it finally counts as Ada’s first snow. We usually just get a nasty, icy mixture around here, so we weren’t really prepared for the real thing. We really don’t have much snow gear… in fact, we just got a snow shovel earlier in the week. [...]

Ada had a couple more swim classes this week, and she did great. This week we dunked the kids under some more, worked on kicking, blowing bubbles, “falling” into the pool, and finally wearing lifevests on Thursday. Ada does kick her feet occasionally, but rather than blow bubbles, she continues to just taste the water. [...]

We finally updated Ada’s bathroom a little so it looks like a kid’s bathroom. I’ve wanted to get her this particular shower curtain for a while, so we were pumped when we scored it at 50% off with a coupon and extra discount for it being the floor model. And since the black-framed, boat photos [...]

For weeks we’ve been trying to help Ada walk, but she wants nothing to do with it. Every now and then she’ll push her walker toy around, but she’s just not that interested in it. She’s been crawling around for so long and so well, why switch it up now? She’s been able to stand [...]

As we all know, a massive earthquake struck Haiti two weeks ago today, killing and injuring thousands and thousands of people, and destroying the places they called home. I should have already mentioned this here since I talk about every thing else, but I really wasn’t sure what to say. I can’t stop watching the [...]

Sunday morning was a big deal for us, since we were introduced as new members at The Church of the Good Shepherd. We took Ada into the first part of the service since we were being introduced to every one, and she had a great time checking every one out around us and watching the [...]

It had been a while since we got together with Matt, Mandy, and Chase, so we were so excited to get the two kids together again this weekend. Poor Chase was sick and miserable Saturday night, but he was a little trooper and played with Ada any way. He has this awesome push wagon that [...]

I do love a good deal. Whether it means hitting the clearance racks, only getting groceries that are VIC specials or with a coupon, or stalking something I really want until it’s on sale, finding a good deal can be fun. Some recent scores include some kid jeans for $3.50, a couple onesies for Ada [...]

It’s one of Ada’s favorite things to do. Don’t worry…all the stairs in our house are blocked off, so she can’t get to them unless we take her there. And when we do, we some times let her show off her climbing skills. She’s really good at it now, and usually squeals and laughs most [...]

Ada is down to two bottles a day now… one first thing in the morning, and the other right before bed. We hand it over (and quick, before she gets impatient), and she usually chills on the couch while she drinks it. It’s probably the sweetest, most still she is the entire day. She really [...]
