Cate with stethoscope in hand: “Can I listen to your heart beep?” This is one of those things where I don’t want to correct her because it is too dang adorable.

Quiet Cate
We are on day two of “Quiet Cate.” She has a sore throat and nasty cold and it hurts her to talk, so she just answers me with shakes of the head or whispers. So sad. You would think that would make my house 1/3 quieter, but unfortunately it hasn’t. Bree is jealous that SHE […]
Cate is 4
Yesterday was the FOURTH birthday of our baby girl, Catharina Rose. From the wonderful surprise that she was when we found out we were expecting and also from the moment of her birth, where she took everyone by surprise with how quickly she wanted to come so that even the doctor didn’t make it in […]
A Kiss on the forehead
This afternoon, I was taking a short nap in my room when I heard the pitter-patter of little feet run up to my bed. Then, I felt a kiss on my forehead and the little one ran back out. My 3yo may give me more gray hairs than her older sisters with her many antics […]
Self-styled Mullet

Between the kazoo incident, the toothpaste incident, the TUMS incident, and her […]
Butter Sampling
Looks like the 3yo has been sampling the butter again.

Today, they have found a new word they like: bosom. (Thanks, Nanny McPhee movie, for that one.) After they’d […]
Yearly Christmas Party
Every year, our homeschool options school has an elementary Christmas party at a local rec center and pool. The girls love it! First, crafts and lunch. Then, the highlight, swimming! And now we are all TIRED after swimming for two hours. Bree can now touch the bottom in the lazy river, which was very exciting […]
Every day
I think our whiteboard and our Legos get used almost every day. I love that Bree used the letter magnets to create a picture!
Gymnastics
Gymnastics party. The trampoline is always a hit.
