In July our neighbors found the biggest caterpillar we’ve ever seen. They put it in a jar and we spent the next 48 hours watching it spin it cocoon. It was a fascinating process. We discovered after a few days of neighborhood excitement that this particular moth spends the entire winter in its cocoon, so…

Emily’s baby has a little red dress that my mom made for it around the time Nathan was born. She realized that she had a matching red dress and really wanted to put it on and take pictures with her baby. Then we realized that Nathan was wearing red too. Once everyone was in their…

I have a goal to run a half marathon by the end of the summer. I feel like the act would officially put this last year of physical craziness behind us, as well as keep me focused on truly strengthening my body to get better. Emily and Nathan are becoming quite the training buddies riding…

Emily has taken to wearing socks on all limbs. Currently she is sleeping with a green one and a red one on her hand, and three on one foot and one on the other. Here is just one example. We went shopping, just the three of us, to get as many diapers as would fit…

Back when we were doing our Under the Sea theme week, Emily and I took some time while grocery shopping to look at the fish. It was very empowering to realize I could put almost no extra effort into something and have it turn out to be an awesome enrichment activity that she loved. Another…

Emily has once again returned to running her car around the circle downstairs. When she caught me taking pictures she ran over and asked to see them, and then took off running so I could take more and then show them to her. The little scrap of paper on the floor has a picture of…

When Andrew gets home from school, he and Emily play all sorts of games in the living room. She paticularly loves the one where she runs across the room and jumps into his arms. She says “beep beep beep” as she backs all the way back to the wall walking backwards and then “ready, set,…
