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 […]

Abigail recently turned 2. She is an energetic, happy, sweet little girl. She can already throw an expert 2-year-old tantrum, but most of the time she is full of smiles and kisses. She loves dancing, jumping, dolls, jelly beans and ketchup (not usually all at the same time.) She loves to sing “Twinkle Twinkle,” “Jesus […]

It has been a long, very snowy, very cold winter in Minnesota and we just couldn’t take it any more. We escaped to Cancun for a few days to catch some sun and enjoy the outdoors without hat and coat. The weather was great: sunny and 70’s every day. It was quite windy, but compared […]
1/10: Walter got his first pair of hockey skates. We tried them out at the Commons Park rinks, but he needed to be held up too much to stay long. We came home and he practiced walking around in the back yard, and pushing the little sleigh for support. He’s excited to keep practicing and […]
Cuteness prevailed once again this year for Halloween. I just didn’t have time for homemade costumes, but I don’t think the kids minded. It was chilly out, so Abigail only made it to a few houses before her hands got too cold, but Walter did the whole shebang and brought home way too much candy.
Walter […]
Abigail is a sweet, beautiful, active little girl. She zips around the house and does a great job keeping her balance. She loves to share and often tries to feed me her food. The funniest instance of that is when she suddenly decided to share the frosting from her birthday cake! She is kind-hearted and […]
5/24 waved to Grandma
5/30 first tooth poked through
Some time during the last week of May, she started “speaking” in distinct syllables – bababa and wawawa. Sometimes she even whispers, as if talking to herself. She also likes to give Eskimo kisses. She will lean in until your noses are touching. So sweet!
6/13 made the signs […]
