Today is Little Man’s seventh birthday. I still can’t believe how old he is now. He’s in the first grade and is really enjoying himself. We celebrated tonight with our family, my parents and my father in law (my mother in law is in Florida taking care of her step mother who is dying).  Here [...]

Littlest One trying on his big brother’s winter boots:

Little Man finally lost another tooth. The first two on the bottom fell out months ago and his new ones are in. Finally, a third tooth fell out. This time from the top: The other front tooth is loose, too, so he’d look awfully cute if that one fell out soon, too. He’d then be [...]

He was recognized for his kindness. Can you believe that? [...]

Little Man came up to me a few minutes ago and asked me to put in a movie. He handed me A Christmas Story. It’s not even Halloween yet but his mind is already on Christmas!

We had our first kindergarten controversy yesterday. Little Man got off the bus yesterday (Wednesday) and told me that a boy in his class named L took his backpack, opened it up, and took his toy Pirates of the Caribbean telescope that we got on our trip to Walt Disney World last March.  I asked [...]
