6/3: Walter was pretending to by Super Why, from the PBS Kids show. He informed me “You can buy more super powers, for free.”
“Really,” I asked, “where do you get them?”
Of course his answer was “There’s a little app for it!”
7/22: Walter: “Mommy, there are three kinds of phones: saxophones, iPhones, and just phones.”
9/2: While […]
In mid-September, Abigail turned 3. She is a sweet, vivacious girl. She loves a good adventure, dolls, dancing, and ice cream. She gets complimented on her curls everywhere she goes and people are starting to call her Shirley Temple!
We celebrated with two parties. One was a weekday morning while Walter was at school. Our little […]
We just got back from our summer trip to visit Grandma & Grandpa Schoolcraft. We flew into Manchester, New Hampshire, and spent our first two nights with some college friends in Maine. They took us to the lovely beach in Kennebunkport. We got to dip our toes in the Atlantic, dig in the sand, watch […]
One of my goals with this blog is to record the cute sayings I hear and the amazing milestones my kids reach. But some of the best stuff seems to happen when I’m not looking…or when they think I’m not.
Like Walter “reading” 101 Dalmatians to Abigail.
Or the time I was at a choir practice, and […]
6/21: While preparing for a road trip in a tape deck-equipped vehicle, I came across Keith’s cassette of DC Talk’s self-titled album from 1989. I showed the cover to Walter. “Look,” I said, “there’s TobyMac as a teenager!” Walter thought about that and said, “Wow, that must have been before, like, 2002!”
6/25: We went to […]

4/25: I let Walter try Fig Newtons. “Do they give you big muscles?” he asked. “No, they just taste good,” I said. He thought for a minute, then asked, “Do they give you dancing skills?”
5/8: […]
We took a big family vacation to Orlando this year. This is the last spring before we have to deal with school schedules, so we took a full two weeks.
April 2: We cashed in the credit card points that we weren’t able to use at Christmas (see Christmas post below) so that we could fly […]
12/17: At bed time, when I told Abigail “I love you,” she replied “I wike yoo all da time!”
1/5: At a grocery store, Walter was interested in some very dark chocolate that Keith had picked out. I suggested we find some different chocolate “for little boys.” To which Walter replied, “I’m not a little boy, […]
We an unusual but fun-filled Christmas this year. We got started with a Christmas Eve celebration with Grandma & Grandpa Paxton here in the Twin Cities. We had a special treat this year, as Uncle Thom and his fiancee Molly were in town. We all attended the Christmas Eve service at my parents’ church. A […]
When I told Walter that it’s Christmastime, he said “Then let’s get out our celebrations!”So we have! We had lots of fun decorating the tree. This has been an ongoing effort for me as I find ornaments that have mysteriously relocated all over the house. Abigail is also quite in love with the pearl garlands […]
