August is entering its hot, sweltering end and I am so looking forward to October. Only 38 more days! The kids are winding down out of summer mode, though the weather is still fine for swimming. Other than all that, there’s not much going on around here. Same ol’, same ol’. Oh yeah, Lydia also […]

five year old taco
I woke up yesterday morning with one thought continually running through my head: “Oh my God, she’s five. Five! Why is she five?!” Five seems such a big number. Five is bicycles and reading. It is glue sticks, scissors, and paint. Will Lydia be able to handle all that? Of course she can. Lydia has […]
an island divided
I’m sure you’ve figured it out by now, but we did survive the little excursion I had mentioned. It was a very pleasant getaway, one that was much needed.

four year old taco
Hey, it’s that time of year again! Time to honor the passing of another birthday with a traditionally belated birthday post. June is full of birthdays (and there was a wedding this year as well) so we’ve been vegging the past two weeks. Lydia has continued to come into her own this year. She likes […]
