Timothy performed in his first gymnastics show last night, and he had lots of fun! Here’s a video of him on the trampoline: Here are answers to questions you might have: 1. Yes, he is wearing his name tag on his leg. 2. Yes, his coach is wearing a shirt with flashing lights on it. [...]

Why the title? Because, of course, my boys are little hams. Today, Timothy is hamming it up for me so I can test out the new video camera. Enjoy! There will be more…

1. Gymnastics this morning was…challenging. Nathaniel screamed the whole time, and Timothy had trouble following Miss Karen’s directions. I’m glad that most weeks are not like this. 2.

1. I’m taking the extreme measure of actually posting on my blog to avoid knitting. I really love knitting, but I’m trying something new and difficult (for me), and am avoiding the mistakes that I am about to make. It looks a bit neurotic when I type it out. Hmm. 2. Patrick is nearing completion [...]

We bought a fabulous new vacuum about a week ago, and of course the boys have been enjoying the box in which it arrived. I think I should get lots of large items for myself this Christmas, then let the boys just play in the boxes it all comes in. Oh, come on, they would [...]
