Trick-or-Treat!

Tonight was so much fun!  The Davises came over for pizza and trick-or-treating.  I think both girls really had a fun time.  Rachel was very good at saying, “TRICK-OR-TREAT!” nice and loudly.  And sweet little Linlee kept trying to go inside each house we stopped at.  Afterward we came home and the girls got to [...]

GUESS WHO WENT ON THE POTTY!

We knew she was getting close.  We’ve seen her holding herself lately because she will only go in the privacy of our living room or when she’s taking a nap.  Yesterday at speech therapy it was obvious that she really had to go, but would not – not on the potty or in her diaper.  [...]

Parties and Pumpkins

Today I volunteered in Linlee’s preschool class for their Halloween party.  I thought I had endured my last school fire drill when I quit teaching, but that was not so.  We had one this morning before the kids’ party.  Just my luck!  Afterward, we dressed the kids in their costumes and got to take them [...]

Daily Dose of Linlee

We’re going to carve our pumpkins this evening.  No promises, but I’ll try and get pictures.

Linlee’s Flowers

I guess Linlee must be having a little set back after a week off from school.  Even though Mrs. Rose was there today, she still cried as I left.  Rats. I thought we were over that.  But like yesterday, apparently she only cried for a minute and then managed to have a good morning.  After [...]

New Week

We had a wonderful visit with my parents over the weekend.  Rob and I even managed to get in a date night – so nice!  Mémé and Papa are now on their way back to Spokane.  Linlee was a little clingy this morning after a week of no school.  It didn’t help matters when we [...]

Pretty Walk

Linlee is just soaking up all the attention from her grandparents.  It’s fun to see her get so excited when her Mémé and Papa arrive – what a cute age!  Today was a lovely autumn day so we went for a walk on the Centennial trail.

My parents…

Linlee finds a caterpillar…

And some flowers!

Linlee is not much [...]

Little Gym – yippee!

Such a good morning at Little Gym.  Linlee actually said her NAME in front of the class for the second week in a row.  Whoohoo!  She has never spoken in front of a group before.  Then the teacher asked, “What’s your mommy’s name?” and Linlee responded, “Mommy!”  She did such a good job participating today [...]

Snacking…

What, this isn’t how you all eat your snack?

Silly girl!

Music

When children are little, parents are always guessing what they will be good at when they are older.  Linlee loves making music.  She’s always playing the piano, or her ukulele, or a homemade drum (an empty oats container and a wooden spoon).  The other day, she stood in front of her mirror and put her [...]
