Wordless Wednesday – Daydreaming

Wishing cold away
Warm breezes, sun on my face
Nope. Winter’s still here.

I can dream, can’t I?

Wordless Wednesday – Raise Your Hand

***************************************

If you bathed in wore Love’s baby Soft Perfume at some time in your life.

I won’t judge you if you still do.

I still can’t believe I actually saw this on the shelf at Christmas time.

Which scent was your favorite?

The Adventure Starts With A White Belt

Baby is experimenting with new hobbies. Since we have moved to Georgia, she has tried soccer, swimming, gymnastics and now is starting karate.

Baby had a great time in her first class, especially because she was able to leave with her first belt. She also learned, if she brought in a great report card (showing all threes), her instructor would award a special achievement patch for the sleeve of her uniform.

Baby walked into class this past Saturday and excitedly presented her instructor with her report card. And true to her word, at the end of class, Baby was called up front by the instructor to be presented with her achievement patch. She beamed with pride as we left the studio. Baby couldn’t wait to get home and show Jed and Daddy.

As parents, I feel DH and I do a good job supporting Baby’s desire to try new activities.  She has always continued an activity after the initial trial sessions, all but soccer that is.  That activity was a rough one, even with Dad as the coach.

After completing additional sessions, she usually requests to try something new and we oblige.  Our only rule is one activity at a time.  This allows plenty of time for school, play and family time, and of course rest.  Now, if only Mommy can stick to such an even work/life balance there will be harmony in the household.

Do you set limits for your children’s activities?

Wordless Wednesday – Carousel Happiness

Riding round and round
Heart overflowing with joy
Can we go again?

Nothing screams happiness more than riding an up and down horse on a carousel with your Poppy.

Wordless Wednesday – Three Generations

We share the same blood
Bonding over trains and planes
Pop-pop is awesome

Can’t wait until you visit again!

Wordless Wednesday – Ready, Set, Go!

Training wheels are on
How long they stay is unknown
Pray no broken bones

You should know by now…rarely am I actually wordless.

Happy Wednesday!

Wordless Wednesday – Go Higher, Mommy!

Today at the park, Jed wanted to get on the swings. He’s never shown much interest, but Baby was swinging away, so of course he wanted to do what Big Sister was doing.

Jed did awesome hanging on to the side chains all the while saying “faster, faster” and “higher, higher”!

Such a BIG BOY!

When did your little one start swinging on the “big kid swings”?

Wordless Wednesday – Magical Moment Captured

With the holiday season, comes the tradition of sending holiday cards. I like to send photo cards, and regret never getting around to sending any last year.

I was NOT letting that happen again this year. I made an appointment at a local chain photography studio, and we went this past Sunday. I went in with the expectation of getting ONE good photo to use for this year’s cards. My expectations were surpassed when I not only got a good family group shot, but this one of the kids.

Jed’s face says it all…the surprise and delight of Christmas.

What’s your favorite picture capturing the spirit of the holiday?

Wordless Wednesday – Photo Booth Prop Fun

How cute is this top hat?
