overheard

these are from today and before I forget . . .

Mommy: I think I broke the new stroller that Anna got for her baby doll.

William: Daddy can fix it. He a really good worker.

***

Sugie: William, you need to take a nap.

William: I am not tired. God did not make me tired.

(WHAT? OH MY. And, no, William did not nap today.)

***

Hudson: Me put the pumpkin in the potty. Da pumpkin is in da potty, Mommy!

Mommy: WHAT? DO NOT PUT THE PUMPKIN IN THE POTTY! NOW IT HAS TINKLE ON IT! THAT IS GROSS!

***

Hatch: Have you seen the wrench that the boys were playing with?

Me: No.

Hatch: Oh, here it is, in the top of Anna’s baby’s stroller—you know, where all stroller drivers keep their treasures.

My baby is ONE. So dear, so precious, and so big! I am exhausted. More soon!

About

We're a family of six doing our best to remember this wild time in our lives--the laughter, the chaos, the use of sharpies on furniture--you know, the memories we want to hold onto of the four little ones under our roof. Life around here is very full, very imperfect, and often crazy. This is a tiny glimpse of the good times around here--we're choosing what to show you and when to share it. Our hope for this blog is to easily stay connected with friends and family and to remember that at the end of the day, what matters is that we are all in this together and we are deeply loved . . . while it may seem that chaos, laundry and diapers abound, grace and forgiveness abound all the more. This blog is not real life: it is a snapshot of the good times (trust me, there are bad times, too--but I'm less likely to document them here) . . . so enjoy, and be in touch!
