Such a beautiful family…

We’ve been able to visit lots of playgrounds recently, now that the weather has cooled off a bit, and David has a great time climbing  and playing on the slides. It’s so nice to get to the point where he can play a bit at McDonald’s and not have to be stuck in the high chair while Jack plays. David is a rough and tumble boy, and rarely is his...

Laura and I have recently launched a new site called the FunPlace Database! This is a brand new resource designed by parents FOR parents to make it easy to find fun places to take your kids. We all need to get out of the house most days, but sometimes it’s just difficult to find places to take them! To celebrate the launch of the site, we’re having a great...

Jack has learned a lot this month. He can write his name pretty well and is slowly working on mastering letters, numbers, coloring in the lines, etc. He has a chalk board that has been helpful to practice on, and sometimes he gets in David’s crib to write on his chalk board, so he can do it without being attacked! We have a US state puzzle that I have avoided...

What is it about putting tennis shoes on a kid this age that makes them look so big? David is such a little GUY now- baby days are gone for good. He’s such an easy-going little guy in many ways. He’s been waking up every morning around 5:30am. It’s the same routing every morning: I go into the bedroom, he says “gi ooooouuuutt!”, I say...

Jack started his homeschool co-op class this month and is really enjoying it. It’s just once a week for 2 hours, but it’s helped us ease into doing a little bit of school at home every day since his teacher sends home worksheets. We’re only doing about 15-20 minutes a day of handwriting right now, and we stop when Jack seems to be...
