Cupcakes and Commentary

We have been busy getting things prepped around here for Baby J. My parents took the mattresses out of the nursery for us, I am beginning to complete the process of decorating the room, and my husband has been busy getting things out of the attic (trying to muddle through my confusing labeling system…I really [...]

Thank goodness for warm days in January! A loved being able to use his new power washer!

A loves the new keyboard! I have to say for the deal that “Santa” got on the keyboard I am really impressed with the sound quality and the amount of different functions it has. I am looking forward to him learning the different keys, and I really like how he can learn to play along [...]

A had his first school Christmas party this past week. He had such a good time!

A visited Granna at her school for a little bit the other day, so I could go to work! He brought me home a picture that he then told me that it was his homework, that he did at school. I hope he works as diligently and is as excited about homework in the future [...]

This is really the first year that A is really excited about Christmas. He was excited last year, but this year the anticipation of the holiday for him has been really fun. Although we are still a few days from Thanksgiving we took A to our local botanical gardens to go on a walking tour [...]

A compilation of things that A is into, accomplished, and looking forward to at the sweet age of 3. A weighs in at 29.6 [...]
