Face painting

Our local grocery store had a face painting stand set up a few weeks ago…and this happens to be a favorite thing in our household these days. Laina requested a bunny, and Elijah had batman painted on his face. E’s picture didn’t last very long…it gradually turned into a big […]

5/23 timeline

4:30 a.m. Woke up from fairly regular contractions. Wondered if this was going to be the day we’d get to meet our new little Gammon! I had a feeling it would be based on the way I was feeling. 4:45 Went downstairs to watch tv for a bit while watching […]

Eat you up

I just want to eat him (Austin) up. I’ve said this about all three of our children, and I happen to think it’s perfectly normal. Sam has laughed at me all three times that I’ve felt this way, but I know I’m not the only crazy mom that feels this […]

Too funny not to write down

After dinner tonight, Laina and Elijah were playing the playroom while I was cleaning up the dinner mess. Elijah decided he wanted to wear Laina’s strawberry rain boots, so Laina helped him get them on those little feet of his. He then decided two bracelets and a necklace would be […]

Outfits galore

For the most part, Laina independently chooses what she wears for the day. Most of the time, this means that we see several outfits a day. One for school, one for naptime, one for post nap quiet time, and of course one for our last activity of the day. We […]
