The children’s Christmas program at church is entertaining every time. My parents and my grandma (Wise Nana) came down to see the boys sing and Simon say his line. Simon got to stand by his buddy Josh this year, so he pretty much felt the opposite of the way he did last year. DPP pics […]
A morning snuggle. (This image is a day late simply because I chose an early bedtime over blogging last night.) DPP pics from past years: 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012
A breakfast date with my husband, a delicious pastry and hot coffee, an unhurried morning. Rare treats indeed (well, except for the coffee, which is a treat but not quite as rare as the others) and much appreciated today. DPP pics from past years: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012

The plan was that Jason would let the kids watch him shave his head to keep them out of my hair while I made dinner (see what I did there?). I couldn’t resist snapping a few photos of the event. This picture makes it look like there are more people in our family than there […]

One of my favorite Christmas traditions is making a huge batch of my grandma’s ginger cookies. We decided that today was Simon’s fifth year, Ian’s third year, and Clara’s first year for helping.
This morning the boys decided they wanted to dress Clara. With a lot of teamwork and supervision (but no actual hands-on help), they got their very patient sister dressed. As Jason would say, #parentingachievementunlocked. DPP pics from past years: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012
