Breakfast of Champions

By
We've had really cold weather here for the last two days, and Ryan has gotten TWO snow days! (I think they actually cancelled due to the temperature rather than the snow though.) So we have celebrated with delicious breakfasts! Yesterday we had banana-oat-wheat pancakes, and today, Ryan made what is now my new favorite breakfast. Actually, it might be my new favorite meal period. Biscuits and Gravy. Chocolate Gravy. It's delicious! We ate the entire heaping plate of biscuits and it might be one of the few meals where I can match Ryan bite for bite. I seem to have no quota when it comes to consuming chocolate. If you are not quite sure about this meal, maybe these pictures will persuade you...




Here's Leah reclining contently as we ate breakfast.

This is what it looks like outside!

After breakfast came story time.

Yum on the biscuits-not so much a fan of chocolate gravy which is a big hit here in TN. As for the snow days~fantastic fun. One of the definite perks of being a teacher. Enjoy the precious family time. Love you all and stay warm!

So . . . just so we're clear . . . it's chocolate sauce right, not like chocolate laced beef gravy? If the former, I'm totally in. Happy winter!

Yes Amber, you are correct - no beef involved in this meal!

Sam's Blog Debut

By
The Coronavirus pandemic has us hunkering down at home like many people around the country, and we are working to make the best of it!  The kids miss their friends at school and are disappointed about various things that have been cancelled or put on hold indefinitely, however there we are enjoying the time together as a family.  The days are full of extra stories, games, puzzles, bike rides, and walks.  We have started a few activities as part of our "school at home" routine and figured that resurrecting the blog might be a fun way to share what the kids are up to. But first, since the last time I wrote on the blog James was just learning how to crawl, and now James is a 4-year-old big brother, we figured we should officially introduce Mr. Samuel Drexel on the blog!  Sam is 9 months old now and he is lots of fun.  The kids have figured out a few ways to get him belly laughing in recent days.  We all laugh when he crawls after a pilates ball and pounces...

A Few End of Summer Activities

By
Just some recent pictures of the kids and their adventures...Leah is back to school (1st grade) and started pre-team at gymnastics. She mastered her two-wheeler and has been enjoying bike rides since! Wyatt started tumbling and we have at-home learning time when Asher takes his naps, which helps when he feels bummed that Leah gets to go off to school without him! Asher is 18 months now and a bundle of energy and fun. He, I'm sure, is glad Wyatt has another year before preschool! We think he is going to (mostly) like having a new brother around in a few months because he loves babies!

Summer is here! Leah and Ryan's school years have come to a close and we have begun enjoying more time all together. (Ok, also there are more small skirmishes, but it's worth it!) A few pics of some summer shenanigans...
