Party Paper Circles I did a lot of crafting and party supply searching today. It’s fun to work on a project that has visible results like this and I am really enjoying it. Originally I wanted Betsy’s party to be craft paper and neon themed. It still is, but as I started collecting things … [Read more…]
The Girls The girls stayed with us last night. This morning they made a birthday cake for Carrie and we made this circle garland that they hung back home as a little surprise. We had to make grand plans of getting the cake into the car without their mom seeing and hiding this garland without … [Read more…]
Cupcakes I met up with Carrie and the girls at Celebrity Cupcakes to trade cars and take the girls home for the day and overnight and so we just had to buy a dozen cupcakes between us. Happy Birthday, Carrie!
Mario Kart After church this morning (where Ben worked in the nursery) we ran to Home Depot for a new shower faucet. The Hartmans came over, Jason helped Ben fix our shower, we had hot dogs for dinner and played Mario. A lovely Sunday.

Whoops! Applesauce in the face. I guess she hasn’t totally mastered these food pouches. Megan and baby Claire came to stay with us tonight. They moved to the Fort Worth area about a month ago, but Claire had an appointment at Texas Children’s this afternoon. We are so glad to have them but we … [Read more…]
First time on the potty Today was full of bodily functions in our house. If you don’t want to hear about it, then stop reading and go about your business. Do not say I did not warn you. Betsy pooped today after not going in 2 days. So it was a big one. I … [Read more…]
11 Months This sweet thing is a mere month away from being 1 year old! This also marks the one year anniversary of being in our house. I had a hard time remembering the day exactly, so I looked through some old emails and found this picture of Carson in the moving truck on … [Read more…]
