A Tale of Two Titus Tots: July 2015
http://matterintitus.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 7, 2015. We went to Isle of Palms last week for 4 days with the youth of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer. We had a great time relaxing and playing in the sand and in the waves. We were very lucky that we didn't have any shark encounters (although we were right down the beach when THIS KID. Was bitten by a shark.) YIKES! The sunset was phenomenal as we walked back to the retreat center. Miriam was so worn out after the second day at the beach that she took a four hour nap! Not So Plain J...

A Tale of Two Titus Tots: September 2014
http://matterintitus.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 30, 2014. Marvelous Miriam (16 months). In September, Miriam turned 16 months old. She is becoming fiercely independent and showing development growth each and every day! She seems to learn at least one new skill every day! Her new favorite sign is "more." She uses this sign a lot at the dinner table. This girl likes to eat! Her last 2 molars finally came in. Good grief, that was NOT fun (for her, or for anyone else in this house! She ate her first apple, and she loved it! Gotta love e...

A Tale of Two Titus Tots: December 2013
http://matterintitus.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 3, 2013. We were so lucky to be able to spend this Thanksgiving with our friends down the street. We have grown very close to them, and it helps that our kiddos are best friends! Frankie and Ashleigh were born the exact same day (20 minutes apart and in two different states) and Miriam and Tyler are 2 weeks apart). It was so much fun planning our meal in advance, and then getting to spend the whole afternoon/evening with them! Seriously, don’t they look like they could be related?

A Tale of Two Titus Tots: October 2014
http://matterintitus.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 31, 2014. Marvelous Miriam (17 months- October). I know I'm so slow posting all these monthly updates.but I'm mostly caught up! In October, Miriam turned 17 months old. She likes to do things on her own. But she is happiest when she is right beside her big sis. This child loves to dance! Her arms start flailing about and she turns around in circles! She loves to say, "Hey Daddy! Her new favorite sign is "all done.". However, she has no problem sleeping like THIS when Mommy is around.

A Tale of Two Titus Tots: May 2015
http://matterintitus.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 24, 2015. We can go outside and play! It has been a long winter. We are elated to be able to go outside and play. FINALLY! Now that it is warm, we have something new in the barn. Here are Andrew and Hershey. The girls visit the "moos" at least twice a day. At Spring Fling in Mason. At Ashleigh's favorite park (aka. the wooden park). Playing near the lilac bush. It smells so good! Saturday, May 23, 2015. Ashleigh has had such a wonderful year of preschool! Come on, Michigan! Later that day, we...

A Tale of Two Titus Tots: March 2014
http://matterintitus.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 13, 2014. Sigh Is it spring yet? Marvelous Miriam: 9 months old. And just like that…it’s another month, and our precious girl is another month older! At her 9 month appointment, she was 27 inches long and 16 lbs 9 oz. She hasn’t gained too much weight since her 6 month appointment, but that’s because she spends all the live-long day doing this…. She is one busy little girl! At 9 months, Miriam…. Says a few other sounds, like ba-ba, da-da. Claps her hands when she is happy. Likes to chew (...

A Tale of Two Titus Tots: August 2014
http://matterintitus.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 31, 2014. Marvelous Miriam (15 months). Let's rewind a little bit and go back to August when Miriam turned 15 months old). Well, this child is up and running (kind of). She is starting to walk faster now, and I'm sure she'll be running soon. She wants to try to keep up with sister! She is getting brave when she is outside. She is walking up and down the big hill next to the barn. Pardon us: We needed an outfit change! She loves to chase the dog. (Poor Arden). She loves playing outside!

Wednesday, January 22, 2014. Miss Miriam is tired of staying still. She is on the move! Look at her go! She just started this on Monday! She will do anything she can to try to get to Ashleigh's toys. :). Friday, January 17, 2014. White (and icy) Christmas 2013. We heard the ice pellets hitting the windows all through the night that Saturday night, but we were still quite surprised to wake up on Sunday morning to see everything coated with at least a half-inch of ice! 160; (See that big limb on the ground?

Wednesday, December 31, 2014. December Shenanigans (a random post). During Advent, we used the Truth in the Tinsel. Program. We really enjoyed doing that as a family. Each night, there was a small devotional to read and talk about together, and then the kiddos could make a craft or color an ornament. (We chose to color the ornaments because the crafts were still a bit too difficult for the girls). Ashleigh really got into this, and enjoyed learning about the Christmas story. It was quite gorgeous! It lit...
