Alexander’s last day in Cradle Roll
So my little Alexander turned four this week and got to celebrate his birthday in Sabbath School as well. I brought my camera to class to take some pictures of his little event in Ann Arbor as it’ll likely be his last ‘official’ Sabbath in the Cradle Roll class. (He Continue Reading
This little boy is four!
Well, it’s hard to believe how quickly time flies in a year, and never seemingly so fast as from birthday to birthday. Alexander is so entirely such a little boy now, riding his two-wheel birthday bike (still with training-wheels of course), singing a million songs, and such a little helper Continue Reading
Little boy in a big big bed
Muma and Papa have been talking about when and how to move the boys out of the nursery and into a new & older space for a while. But as the past several nights Alexander has been complaining that ‘he was too big for his bed’, we’ve been considering a Continue Reading
Baking, and Frosting, and Sprinkling– oh my!
We’ve had a good baking week this week. Sunday Alexander and Muma made her favorite Linzer cookies– happy little jam filled stars cookies with cloves, cinnamon, and pecans. They look like this (though I didn’t take a picture of mine before we ate most of them :0 !) Tuesday, after Continue Reading
In the glow of Three-and-a-Half
Wow little Alex! Three has been such a fun age, and here we are in the heart of it, looking at four just around the corner. Our minds are just in a tizzy wondering where time has flown. Alex has been just a-glow at three years old. Oh what a Continue Reading
Three Cedars Farm
This Sunday, we took a little jaunt to check out Three Cedars Farm. We drive by it on the way to church, and with good reviews from a couple of friends, I was curious to check it out. It turned out to be a surprisingly delightful afternoon, with tons to Continue Reading
Return to Wiard’s 2010
With many thanks to RbA, we enjoyed another festive fall day at Wiards to welcome the season in full fall style. It was a pretty cold start- strong ‘freezing’ winds and barely any sun. And though Aidan was a bit snuggly and shivery (he also hadn’t had his morning nap), Continue Reading
Fall in the Forest- a spontaneous “welcome fall” event.
It was a couple of Thursdays ago when Alexander came up to me after several minutes of playing by himself (gasp!) and asked. “Muma- what can we do?” “I don’t know, what would you like to do?” “We should have a party!” We occasionally have little pretend birthday parties for Continue Reading
Little Tiger on the Town
Friday we headed down to the A2 Summer Festival for a little fun and face painting, and came home with a little tiger. It was a fun little jaunt. Alexander actually followed through with the painting, and was pretty pleased with his transformation. He got lots of gawks and ‘aww’s Continue Reading
The Big Loop
This year we took a special trip up to the U.P. for our good friends Jennifer and Jason’s wedding. Instead of making a long, straight drive, we decided to split it up into a series of smaller drives and excursions, making the big loop up through the U.P. and back Continue Reading
