Worrels365: February 2015

http://worrels365.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

The girls have coughs and runny noses. I think I've just accepted it: they will be sick until Spring. They are otherwise happy and have really started to enjoy being together. They are playing together right now in Carolyn's room, just as happy as can be. We have had some nice evenings recently with friends. That has definitely been a source of warmth these cold days! Enjoying peanut butter bread. Trying to get a Valentine's photo. It wasn't working. Snowmen do at night? He used to be cute. Daddy-Daughte...

Worrels365: April 2015

http://worrels365.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Well, it's looking like it will be harder to get a picture a day than I had anticipated. But I got a few. We had a rainy chilly week, so lots of indoor play. Carolyn is into making forts of all sorts. Game day this week even included the building of a fort that expanded out of the toy room into the hallway and main room. We did have one nice day. Aren't they sweet? The very rare nap during quiet time. Trying out her push cart in new ways. This way was very upsetting. And stuck. The hoola hoop is fun!

Worrels365: Ten years!

http://worrels365.blogspot.com/2015/05/ten-years.html

Ten years sound like a long time. It doesn't feel like it's been very long, but here we are with two kids and an established home. I wonder what adventures the next ten years will bring. Brian began a new job this week. It is very different from the bridge office. So far it is overwhelming and learning it feels like a daunting task. But I know it will get better! Carolyn is finishing up preschool. She had a great experience and is ready for kindergarten! The nice weather brings neighbors together!

Worrels365: March 2013

http://worrels365.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Waiting for the snow to melt! But the van fits in the garage! Home with our brand new van! Carolyn's final "swing" out of our good orange Vibe. "I don't want to say goodbye to the orange car.". Today I was listening to the pumpkins on Carolyn's socks have this conversation. Pumpkin 1: You are not my friend! Pumpkin 2: Yes, I am! You are green and I am yellow! Pumpkin 2: Oh. We not match. Pumpkin 1: We are neighbors. I wish you could hear her voice. It is undeniably precious! She stands on her "stage" and...

Worrels365: May 2013

http://worrels365.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

The snow was good for building a snowman. Carolyn was quite impressed by how big we could make it. The snow all winter never worked for rolling up a ball, so our snowmen were small. Look, he's already loosing teeth. By the afternoon, his head had fallen off! I guess we didn't build the poor fellow to be very hearty. Our chairs in which we were enjoying the sunshine last week are covered in snow today! Cold snowy day. IN MAY! Carolyn is enjoying playing in my new sleeping bag. Finger painting. I never...

Under-the-table play this morning. Carolyn and Brian try out "The Kids of Catan." It's been really fun to get out some of the older kidish games and play them with her. She catches on pretty well, and they are a little more fun for us than "Go Away Monster! MommyMommyMommy. I made a sand castle. Come and look! Yep, she sure did. Oops. We forgot about the "sand stays in the sandbox" rule. She was very proud. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Find Us In Person. Get Updates By Email.

Worrels365: January 2013

http://worrels365.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

We went for a little visit to Reiman Gardens this morning because they are kicking off their new theme. Carolyn got to "make" a pinwheel. Of course it is purple! Then she spent some time walking around and around the Conservatory wall. "That's why I'm big," she says. She can do it now all by herself. We headed over to the butterfly house, as well, to take in the heat and humidity. Well, that's why I went in. There were pretty butterflies to watch, too. Given the warmer temps (50 degrees for a high! Over ...

Worrels365: July 2013

http://worrels365.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Announcing our expectation of the fourth member of our family the end of January! Carolyn is excited to be a big sister, but she says she really wants to be a big brother (like her cousin). Today marks 12 weeks and everything is looking great! Amy is mostly feeling fine. We started swimming lessons last week. We'll go two times a week for the whole month of July. Carolyn is improving every time! She tries something new each time and she's learning to blow bubbles, doggie paddle and dunk completely under!

We had a fun and joyous week celebrating Emily. My favorite memory from her birth day was right away after she was born. Brian cut the cord and the nurses snuggled her down on my chest with warm blankets over both of us. Brian was right close by. We talked to her and touched her and welcomed her to our family. What a precious moment. Carolyn's photo pick taken by a friend. A shot of her little mullet head. Happy birthday, Sweet Girl! Opening a few presents before dinner. She really got into it.

Worrels365: It's getting hot!

http://worrels365.blogspot.com/2015/07/its-getting-hot.html

We're finally getting some heat. So, we got out the pool in the backyard to try to get some outside time without over-heating. Both girls love it. Carolyn doesn't really like getting wet but somehow loves it anyway. Hmm. Gooey Guck. A concoction for a yucky day. Gorgeous day for a family outing. We did a long bike ride over the high trestle trail bridge. The girls and I went for a long walk in the woods. We found all the look-outs until. But there we found black raspberries ripe. Yummy!
