So Libby went out to a networking event tonight. That meant I had to watch the kids. Since it is getting close to biking season I took the kids to Breakaway Bicycles to pickup a few things. They were good in the store so I decided to get them a "treat". Since this isn’t a…
Libby got back from her business trip tonight and the kids were ecstatic. After dinner and a bit of playing Libby read the new books that she got the kids before bed time. Libby’s trip went well and my time with the kids went well.
This afternoon it was almost 60 outside so I took the kids outside to play. We practiced casting their fishing rods and Violet swung from the branches of the big pine tree while Hayden played in a mud puddle. Near the end, they drew with chalk. As can be seen from the picture, the drawing…
The other night we were getting the kids ready for bed. Now that Hayden is almost 3, he is wanting to do more and more things independently. To help him develop I decided to let him go to the bathroom and brush his teeth by himself. After several minutes I decided to check on him. …

Tonight at dinner, Violet was talking about how it was difficult for her to eat since she was missing one tooth and had the other almost out. Libby commented on how she was surprised that Violet’s toot was still in. Trying to progress things a bit I asked Violet how loose it was and then…
