Busy!

Just wanted to apologize for the lack of updates. We are so busy with these kids! What makes it harder is that Mina won’t allow Yen to hold her lately,…

Sleep

Poor Linus. Poor us! He is going through the 18-month sleep regression. That means some days he wakes at 4am and demands to start the day. Of course he crashes…

February 5, 2016

I know an update is long overdue, but we really have our hands full! You’ll see… Tan and Susie warned us that with two kids in the house, we would…

So Happy

Yen is finishing up processing the photos from the last two weeks, and then it will take me a couple of days to make time to write the post. But…

Sledding

We didn’t get nearly as much snow as they original predicted – just a light dusting. Still, the boys decided to make the best of it.

Mina’s First Week at Home

We’ve been working the last few weeks to prepare Linus for Mina’s arrival. It was all very abstract to him, of course, but we think he understood on some level.…

November 8 – 30, 2015

I’m getting a little behind with these posts! We’re trying to get out and do as much as we can while the weather is still decent, and it isn’t leaving…

Eating

Tonight Linus decided to feed himself with a spoon. He actually did a decent job.

Vacation in Williamsburg VA

There won’t be any holiday travel for us this year with Little Sister coming so soon, so we took a week away in while we could. Our criteria were: a…

Linus: October 25 – 31

I’m dropping the “week” designation from the titles of these posts. It’s getting hard to count and keep track now that he’s so old! Isn’t this photo great? Like, “The…

Linus: Week 61

It’s been a tough week for us, and you can see a bit of it on Linus’s face here. I see this look and think, “Get that camera outta my…
