Today is my baby’s 2nd birthday. I guess she’s not so much a baby anymore. Cate is my little sunshine, my little joy, and Miss Independent (don’t you dare try to help her or you’ll incur her wrath!) She copies everything she sees her big sisters do and is really good at knowing how to […]

Kazoo
Cate fell with a kazoo in her mouth today. She punctured the back of her upper palette and damaged her uvula. She hasn’t spoken a word or had anything to eat or drink since. (Which was how we figured out that something serious was going on.) Urgent Care sent us to Children’s Hospital ER where […]
Ca-cough-ony
Listening to the cacophony of coughing in our house (in our case, it should be spelled ca-cough-ony) as the Reimer household enters survival mode* due to four of the five members battling a nasty respiratory virus. We are all so disappointed that we had to cancel our Yergler Christmas plans for this weekend. Poor Cate, […]
Christmas Eve
My girls and I getting ready for the Christmas Eve service.
Cate and Letters
Cate is already starting to recognize a few letters and numbers, which amazes me. I swear she is learning by osmosis from the older girls. Today she was near the van and excitedly pointed at it, exclaiming, “H! H!” I looked at what she was pointing at, and sure enough, there was an H. Then she […]
Cate at 22 Months
Cate just turned 22 months old yesterday. I am sad to think that my baby is only two months shy of turning two already. Cate continues to be a busy, busy girl. She is into everything! Â I was puzzled to find dirty spoons in our silverware drawer only to later realize that my little helper […]
Trunk-or-Treat, Hogwarts Style
I wish we would’ve taken more pictures of the van. We had gray bricks around it, a Gryffindor banner, and a smoking cauldron for Professor Snape. The cauldron was a huge hit with the kids! It was a fun Halloween and I’m glad Aunt Karen was able to join us. Note: When putting together a […]
Miracles Therapeutic Riding
Adrianna loves her riding lessons (she started on October 1) and Bree is doing so well with her therapeutic riding at Miracles Therapeutic Riding. I am thankful they are getting this experience. Adrianna typically rides Kayro and Bree rides Folly. And I get to hang out with this sweet and busy toddler while her older […]
Do you want fries with that?
You might be getting fast food too often when your 21 month old pipes up, “ah fies!” [Translation: I want fries.] every time you go through a drive-through. Even if the drive-through is only the bank or the pharmacy.
Big Girl
This munchkin refuses to go down the stairs like a toddler, much preferring to scare her mommy by braving the steps like a “big girl.” Pretty much is an example of how she faces everything in life.
