After Christmas, Bryan and I spent a couple days hanging out with the family before venturing out on our own vacation. I thought I’d share some pics from our fun times. There’s a video at the end of Sylvia playing with an electric car that’s pretty cute. This is actually on our flight to Texas on [...]
On Christmas Eve, Grandad put together a really fun scavenger hunt for all us kids. I spent a quiet December morning putting together the videos that Granny shot with the photos I took to make this Scavenger Hunt video. After the prizes were uncovered (the traditional Christmas Eve pajamas), the kids were full of excitement [...]
Sylvia started taking ballet in January, just before she turned 3, and she’s been enjoying her dance classes every week since the beginning. Ballet costumes are a regular attire item here in our home. In recent weeks, she’s decided that she’s ready for a change of activities, though, and so this December class was her [...]
It’s a little funny to be writing this post after Christmas has come and gone, but better late than never! We went to get our Christmas tree the weekend after Thanksgiving. We’d thought about going to a tree farm to cut our tree this year, but Andrew wanted to go back to Jung’s (I think [...]
Sylvia has been taking ballet and tap classes at the YMCA since January, and she L.O.V.E. loves it. It’s actually a little hard to believe that dance class is such a relatively new part of our lives. My Sylvie girl just eats it up. Parents get to come into the classroom to watch the last [...]
One afternoon in late October, we had Eli and Celia over, and all the kids engaged in a little dance show. The boys were caped wonders, dancing fiercely and courageously with ninja moves and powerful dances. The girls seemed to prefer a more flowing dance style. Yet they still had a lot of power in [...]
My friend Heather’s little girl Evelyn was in Wisconsin with Heather’s parents (her first solo visit!), and we got to join them for a play date at the Dream Park. Here’s Sylvie, Evie, and Celia on the tire swing together. There’s Evie on the swings. Three girls eating carrots on the playground bench. We had [...]
I just wanted to share a few pictures of this beautiful purple jacket that Bryan’s mom made for Sylvia. It’s so cute, I kinda want to hang it on my wall. Oh, and there’s a matching hat that I’ve been remiss in not photographing. You’ll have to trust me when I say it’s adorable:) After [...]
Here’s Andrew, with his first grade teacher, Maestra Samaca. He’s so happy about his classmates, and I’m just so thankful that school continues to feel to him like a huge treat that he gets to do five days a week. He goes to school with a smile on his face and comes home with a [...]
Happy Monday morning. I know it can take a bit to get going on a Monday after a beautiful weekend, so here’s a video of Andrew and Sylvia to help you start your day with a chuckle. They’re at a Badger’s women’s soccer game, dancing to the song Jump Around. Where they learned how to: [...]
