Popsicle We survived day 1 of VBS!  Betsy didn’t take a nap, but did well until 11 when I had to strap her in the baby bjorn and continue with the rest of the day with our group of kinder and 1st grade kids.  Thankfully there are lots of older kids helping out who are … [Read more…]

  Food! Betsy has really started to enjoy meal time.  She’s getting pretty good at getting more food in her mouth than on the floor and in her lap. We had VBS set up today and we start tomorrow.  I am anxious about how Betsy is going to do in nursery without a morning nap…

 Tree I’m loving it right now.  It’s a pleasure to see every morning and watching the white blossoms drift down during the day is just wonderful.  And yes, he has no pants on.  Because after diaper changes after naps I don’t put his pants back on unless we have to be seen in public. We … [Read more…]

Betsy in the tent Last night was rough.  We got home at 9:30.  Everyone needed to go to bed, but we had to unpack and re position monitors and noise makers and get kids in pajamas, so it wasn’t as easy as bringing peaceful sleeping children up to their beds and kissing their foreheads.  At … [Read more…]
