This week, we celebrated Cate’s 6th birthday. I sometimes think we should’ve made her middle name to be Joy, because that is what she brings to our family and it describes her general spirit, too. She has lots of big theological questions and a tender heart full of faith, but also tends to be a […]

Rush Hour
We were in south Denver for an appointment this week. As we were starting for home, I warned the girls that it would take awhile because we were hitting rush hour. Cate piped up, “But I thought *rush* hour meant we would go faster!?” If only that were the case!
Working With Dad
The girls love “working” in the garage with Greg. Safety glasses and all. And…I just noticed Bree is wearing my sandals. So now I have TWO kids who are borrowing my shoes!!
Tap Dance Recital
Tap Dance Recital this evening. Cutest little Santa ever! They danced to “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” (The Jackson 5 version.)
Go Fish
A few months back, I made a set of “Go Fish” cards to use with a friend with whom I practiced English (ESL) with. (They had specific numbers on them that she needed to practice at the time.) Bree and Cate liked my cards so much that they made their own. The drawings are of […]
Holiday Birthdays
We have two kids with birthdays within 4 and 8 days of Christmas. This is totally how it feels.
Accidental Band
Bree was practicing the piano for her recital, so Cate sat down at the nearby drum set and started playing. Cate excitedly told me, “Mom, we might accidentally start a band!” #ThatsTheDream #ReimerFamilyBand
Cate’s Surgery
Cate had her surgery today. Everything went well, but she is having a lot of pain and said she could feel the “needles†in her arm. (They inserted two pins to stabilize the bone and joint.) They gave her some pain meds and so now she is feeling better and sleeping. We should get to […]
Broken Humerus
This is not how I expected to spend my first day back home. Cate has learned that a broken humerus is not very humorous. (Yes, you can groan over that terrible pun!) And that jumping off the top bunk of her bunk bed is probably not a good idea. She’s in a splint for now. […]
Cate’s Dance Class
Cate asked to take a dance class, so we signed her up for tap/ballet. 5 year olds doing dance is the cutest thing! At the end of class, the parents and siblings get to come in and see what the kids have worked on during the class. Cate was definitely embarrassed at first, but I […]
