The other night, we dusted off the old Charlie Brown Christmas tape and popped it in the VCR. (Well, technically it wasn’t too dusty as we usually watch it all year round.) Bump was excited to watch it as this is really the first year he’s been aware of Christmas traditions and [...]

What is my family reading these days? Favorites come and go for the boys. For me, it’s what do I have time for. Here’s a list of the latest in Shelly’s house:
Zach
The Going to Bed Book by Sandra Boyton - Still hasn’t let this one go. Gosh he loves this story. [...]

Zach is so darn proud of himself. He now blows kisses and thinks that when he does it, he’s the funniest thing in diapers. He laughs and laughs. My heart leaps with love when he does it. He has the cutest little laugh.
Bump learned this week that Xs and Os are [...]

A 3-year-old boy is not discouraged by the closing of our pool during weekdays. He was just as tickled to be squirted with the hose and to lounge around in this tote. He used his boots to scoop up the water and pour over his head. This is his third set of [...]

He loves the rain. He calls the water splashing off the roof his “waterfalls”. This morning as warm droplets fall from the sky, my Bump has ensconced himself in rain gear - boots and coat over his pajamas, umbrella in hand - to take on an early morning adventure. I call it [...]

Yes, it’s finally finished - Baby Joseph’s Quilt.
Remember, I started out with a four patch, but this is what I ended up with. Fabric is primarily St. Jude Quilt of Dreams material from Hancock’s. I stitched in the ditch along the sides of rows and also across some of them. I also [...]

Potty training continues to be challenging for us. Bump just doesn’t get it, although we introduced stickers into the mix today and that seems to help. Gil has become the potty nazi and Bump is scared to death of him and goes every time. Me, not so much.
I got some videos and [...]

I’m still in a holding pattern with my Ergo Carrier. If you recall, I slammed the chest strap in my car door on our way back from Busch Gardens, breaking the clip….
Although I called Ergo immediately upon my arrival home, and they shipped me a new clip the very same day, it still isn’t [...]

How was Busch Gardens? That’s the question I’ve been asked this weekend.
To answer it correctly, I’ll say we had a blast. It had it’s challenges.
I used to go first thing in the morning to avoid the heavy afternoon crowd push. But, with Zach’s nap schedule that wasn’t going to work. Instead, [...]

Tomorrow.
It’s the day.
We’ve waited for it all winter.
The first Friday that…
Busch Gardens is open.
Yes, I’ve been pumping Bump for it thinking that Gil was going to be with us for this trip. But alas, it will be the usual threesome for the first trip of the year. Bump has been watching all of [...]
