Friday, November 30, 2012. I take life for granted. I forget often that there is such a fine balance between life and death. Today was a hard day for me. This week has been busy with projects, work, life, Christmas.You know, the usual! As I was washing the dishes I was thinking about this tonight. Taft today did the sweetest thing.we were trying to get out the door.always a process! What a sweet moment. In the midst of my craziness my toddler found a way to just make me stop, take a deep breath and r...

Friday, July 29, 2011. Grandpa and Grammy time. It was fantastic. Of course our visits and time together are always short. I hate that Taft changes so much between when they get to see him. Someone needs to move.*hint hint*. Its so fun to see my parents with Taft. I love the time they share together. We were also able to sneak in a project that I have been wanting to tackle (more on that later! Thanks to some great helpers : ) Here are some pics form the weekend. Love you Grandpa and Grandma! I just star...

Monday, August 6, 2012. Recently Stephen has started competing in mountain biking races. His first one was in July up in Green Bay and this past weekend we attended his second one here in Illinois. I am so proud of him for doing this and it is definitively a fun family thing to do together! Here are some pics from Sunday. At the starting line! Heading into the final loop. Way to go Daddy!

............excerpts from the ericksens............: First day of "School"
http://excerptsfromtheericksens.blogspot.com/2013/01/first-day-of-school.html
Wednesday, January 9, 2013. First day of "School". Today was Taft's first day at "school" That is what we are calling it but it is actually a Mother's Day out program at a local church here in Geneva. I heard about it from some friends in the area and also my next door neighbor who works there. I wasn't sure how he would do because he is pretty shy and has not been around that many kids all at one time.but he did GREAT! Working on our "cheeeeese" He still doesn't smile : ) Showing off his new lunch box!

Wednesday, August 3, 2011. Taft turned 7 months at the end of July. July 31st to be exact. I feel like time is flying! Everyone tells you that you blink and your kids are all grown up and I am starting to believe them. I feel like I don't always notice how much Taft is changing till I take these pictures and look at them. He is getting so big! At his 6.5 month appointment he weighed 19.3 lbs and was 27 in long.WHAT? Look at that stinker! I hardly had time to snap the picture before. Can't go wrong there.

Wednesday, June 29, 2011. I think my heart stopped! So I officially had my first moment as a mother when your heart stops and you realize "this could end terribly! Let me set the scene for you.I needed to go down to the basement to start the load of diapers for Taft since he was almost out. I bring him down with me most of the time because he loves being down there. He lays on the counter on his car seat warm sack and hangs out with his bird. Totally great set up while mom does laundry! I know I am past ...

http://excerptsfromtheericksens.blogspot.com/2012/10/update-overdue.html
Wednesday, October 10, 2012. So now that I have shared about my new camera, I also have a new goal.BE MORE CONSISTENT WITH MY BLOG! I thought the best way to start would be to give an update on Taft, my sweet 21 month old. I can't even believe that 2 is right around the corner. Where has the time gone? D"we are still working on that one and uh-o, Yep.no normal first words.he is his own little person! He can hiss like a snake, say quack-quack, moo, and something that resembles "arff-arff". Today we went t...
