We finally got this boy into a sport – BASEBALL! It was so fun to watch Ben get into something new. Sadly, his first season was interesting. He had his first practice and then it was practice after practice after game after game of cancellations. The weather this spring was absolutely bonkers! We had thunderstorms …
Benjamin appreciation post! This little man. There is a whole lot of personality in this little body! Ben continues to be the most physical human being I have ever been around. He needs to be physically active – this boy loves to use his body – and his love language is definitely physical touch. If …
We have had the most wonderful spring. It has been cool and rainy and oh so pleasant {except the mosquitos!}. Mark has been wanting to take the kiddos to a Colorado Rockies game ever since we moved and he was finally able to this month. We’ve had afternoon thunderstorms nearly every day, but they had …
Thoughts this Winter Was it just me or did this winter FLY by?! I think it probably was just me. I know this winter was brutal for a lot of people weather wise – but it was pretty good to us academically! I felt like we finally got into our groove after months and months …

Letters were just not clicking for him – BUT I have spent a lot of time researching preschool curriculums …

Benjamin’s 6th birthday was the birthday that just kept on giving! On the day of his birthday, he and Lydia were still dealing with …
On Thanksgiving day, Lydia started to come down with a fever. Lydia gets a LOT of fevers. Sadly, she seems to pick up on anything and everything going around. Well, do you want to know what was going around viciously the end of November? RSV. Lydia’s fever remained day after day. She also had a …
Thoughts this Autumn It has been almost a year since I have done a schoolhouse review and I am, honestly, really bummed about it. 2022 has been filled with so many blessings. And I hope to write more on that when I get to our New Year’s post. But one thing that has been a …
As with the previous kiddos’ post – we are well into our school year. But here was our plan moving into Benjamin’s kindergarten year. Overall Thoughts Ben has been a tricky kiddo for me to understand how he learns best. Ben is definitely our most active out of our kids. He loves to use his …
