20 Months Old?!


What 20 month old holds a crayon so perfectly?




New Discoveries


I keep finding him exploring the school desks...


Happy New Year!


Grandma Kathleen spent the night with us AND cooked dinner, then we had a balloon drop at 7pm. It was a lot of fun!

Balloon volleyball happened too. Then everyone went to bed on time. :)

Logan’s friend Dale put it best in his Christmas letter:

“I hope we all remember what happened in a year that we may want to forget and that those memories clarify for us the truly important things in life.”

Good riddance, 2020. We won’t miss you.

At Home


Elias likes his new game, Don’t Wake Daddy. You try to get your guy past the daddy without waking him up, but there are lots of noises along the path. The goal is to get to the fridge for a snack without waking him. After playing for a bit Elias said, “Why can’t we just ask the Daddy to help us get a snack?” I’m glad he doesn’t feel like he has to be sneaky if he’s hungry. 

A window washer/bug sprayer/insulator blower guy worked on our house last week. I’m feeling good all that is taken care of for the winter. 

Augustine’s BINGO prize went a loooooong way. He won a teacher pointer, and it inspired three days of pretend school. BINGO Aunt Carol!

Daily sensory sock wrestling, chasing, and tackling matches have been happening around here. 

The big boys have been taking turns putting Levi down for his nap. They like to rock him and sing to him before putting him in the crib. Seems to work just fine. 

Logan used some of his Christmas money on a very fancy skull, complete with a removable brain. He likes to study it, show the boys, and pray with it. 

Levi is very happy playing cars lately. He likes to line them up on the orange track. 

This is his favorite set up. 

He also likes to fiddle with this game, but can’t make it work just yet. 

We switched up how to play with the magnatiles and Levi loves it. 

The Kitchen


There are so many fun ways to arrange it! This is diner style. 

This is sit down restaurant style. 

This is corner kitchen style. 

It’s always shuffled because there is so much cooking going on.
