Fun Facts

I made bread for the first time on Ash Wednesday. Real bread. Like, I had to knead it by hand for 8 minutes. It was an incredible process. The whole house smelled good. The children waited by the oven for the last 3 minutes and were so eager to taste it! There was something really fulfilling about sitting at the table with all four of them, watching them enjoy something that I had made with my own hands...that wasn't macaroni and cheese.

Buzz received this sticker book for Christmas from his Godparents. They know him too well. It is a Lego sticker book. He eats with this book, sleeps with this book and cries when it is time for school because he doesn't want to leave this book. The other children are helping him memorize the names of each and every Lego guy...there are well over 200!

 Yes, that is a diaper. A clean one. But still, a diaper. Boo will do anything for a laugh. And I mean ANYTHING.

This really happens. Matt cannot get down on the floor with the children without getting sat on, bounced on, and wrestled.

This really happens too. This is to show you (and me) how patient Bean truly is. All she wanted to do was read a book. Nate wants attention and a playmate. I love the last-ditch effort of his feet in this video. Brothers are something special.
