Happy 4th B-Day Leah!

By
It is crazy to think that for four years, I have been separating our family laundry into darks, lights, and pinks, and cleaning glitter out of the lint trap of the dryer.  For four years, we have been blessed to have Miss Leah Catherine in our lives!  She turned four last week, and she couldn't have been more excited for her birthday.  She tiptoed into our room at about 5:50am and whisper-shouted, "Hey guys!  Guess What?!  I'm FOUR now!  Can you measure me on the wall now?!"  We made her wait awhile before we measured her on the wall.  Her birthday included her favorite meals, a trip to the mall to pick out new clothes, a turn on the mall-jumpy-trampoline-thing (sadly, the mall choo-choo is gone...), and more! 

 
Daddy cooked Leah's birthday breakfast request: biscuits!
With butter.  Of course. 

Uncle Greg let Leah paint his nails.
Pink with sparkles.  Beautiful!

FOUR!
 
For dinner, Leah chose a restaurant that serves her favorite meal:
Corn Dogs!


She's still a sweetheart - she even shared her birthday sundae.

Opening presents back at home.

Leah, these past four years have been our favorites.  You bring us so much joy, and we love you so much!  We are so proud of the brave, caring, intelligent, faithful girl you are.  Thanks for teaching us to be Mommy and Daddy.

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...
