Hooray for Sun!

By
Today, the sun was actually shining - the snow on the sidewalks was melting and everything!  It was shining long enough for me to bundle up myself and Leah after school, find Lucy's leash, dig out the jogging stroller, clean off the cobwebs, and go for a little jog/walk with my little friends.  They were both incredibly excited about it.  

Leah kept saying, "Nooooo!" when I put the weather guard down so she wouldn't have wind in her face, and giving me the dirtiest looks through the little window on top of the stroller.  She would pull the clear shield to the side and stick her bundled little head out into the breeze.  What a kook!  She loves the snow and wind - a true midwest kiddo.  Then, there was Lucy, who hadn't been in close proximity to a squirrel in a week or so and could barely contain her hunting instincts.  Lucy kept walking into the stroller, because she didn't want to walk in snow and puddles.  (?!)  I honestly thought the tire was going to wear off a patch of her fur she was walking so close.  Leah thought her antics were hilarious, while I found them a bit obnoxious.  It was a fun mini outing none the less, and I am always grateful for a sunny day in winter!  

The pictures below are from a few snows ago when I took Leah and Lucy out into the backyard for some exploring...until Leah got tired of wearing mittens and I was afraid the Lucy kisses would lead to frostbite...

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 Very Belated Welcome to Baby James Lawrence

By
Ok. So, I haven't updated the blog in QUITE some time.  And I have received subtle and not-so-subtle hints that certain loved ones far away would like an update!  I will work on uploading some recent pictures and events! I feel it is only fair to give James a dedicated post, as I never posted pics here when our sweet new little guy was first born.  As you can imagine, life has been a bit crazy around here.  The good kind of crazy...  But crazy. James was born 11/27/15 - almost a whole month earlier than his due date!  He was 6 pounds, 10 ounces.  He had a little stay in the NICU while his lungs strengthened and healed, and then we brought him home in time for Christmas.  His first name, James, is Ryan's dad's name (and Ryan's middle name.)  His middle name, Lawrence, was my Grandpa's name.  He has two awesome patron saints and namesakes!  He is now almost 6 months, is rolling, babbling, laughing, and starting to eat...

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!
