Pictures From June
Continuing my slow battle against a mountain of pictures, I've uploaded everything from the first few weeks of June.
(more)The First Week of School, The First Cold of School, and Apple Picking!
Well, we made it through the first week of classes here at the academy. This week was also my first week back at work. Of course, to start it all off, we had the first cold of school. It is somewhat inevitable with all the little kids being back at Tiger School/daycare. Luckily this cold seemed to last only about 48 hours, which is not bad as far as colds go. Seth came home last Friday with a fever and a runny nose, so we took it easy Friday night and Saturday, and he was feeling better in time for our gathering on Sunday to commemorate my grandmother's yahrzeit (anniversary of her death). We had a nice day remembering her with Geema, Michael, Aunt Michele, and Uncle Bill. Seth also got to harvest his "potatoes in a bag" that Aunt Michele helped him grow - success! Lots of potatoes! Then Sunday night, Jason got the cold, then Monday morning Evan had it, and by Monday afternoon I was down for the count, too. A big thank you to Grams and Geema for braving the sick house to help us with the boys! A visit to the doctor with Evan on Monday confirmed it was just a cold and not an ear infection, and me staying home from my first morning of work to sleep capped off that fun! Luckily, by Wednesday, we were all feeling better and back to work and daycare, so that wasn't too bad!
(more)Pictures (Finally!) from May
I know the photo gallery hasn't been updated in a long while. There's been a lot going on here at home, and as the pile of pictures keeps growing, so has my level of procrastination.
(more)Baruch Chaim - Beverly's Namesake
It's been three years today since my grandmother, Beverly, died.
In some ways, it seems like it's been a long time since I last saw her, but in other ways, it seems like we were together just yesterday.
(more)Seth is a Tiger School Boy
Two weeks ago, Seth started pre-school. His pre-school is in the same building as our daycare; Suffield Academy's mascot is the tiger, so daycare is called Tiger Den, and pre-school is called Tiger School. Seth had seen the Tiger School classroom all last year, and was so excited when he would finally get to say he was a "Tiger School Boy". Tiger School meets Monday-Friday from 8:30am to noon. These first two weeks I was not working yet, so I could bring him and pick him up, which was a nice way to transition.
(more)The Update in Which We Reveal Evan's Milestones, 3-7 months old
Since I've dropped the ball on updating regularly, I wanted to be sure to do a post on all the exciting things Evan has learned to do recently.
At 3 months
He's just beginning to laugh.
He's smiling like crazy and interacting with us.
(more)Seth's Greatest Hits at Three Years (and Four Months) Old
After writing a post on Evan's current milestones, I wanted to be sure to record Seth's funny actions and saying from the past few months. These boys keep us laughing!
