Birthdays!

Rebekah and I had our birthdays! We both had fun! Rebekah got a new doll from my mom. Her name is Abby. My mom sewed matching clothes for them. Rebekah has had a lot of fun playing with her and taking her with us lots of places.


Rebekah and Abby in their matching pajamas!






She really enjoyed opening her presents!




My birthday was fun too! Timothy was in charge of taking the pictures so some of them are at weird angles but I think it's fun to see things from his point of view. It's also fun to see the things they think are worth taking pictures of. :)

Ryan gave me a food processor and a new compost bin! I've been having fun saving my apple cores, avacado skins, egg shells, etc. and taking them out to put in my composter!

The kids all gave me this cool watch!!

Happy February!

February is a big month in our family. Rebekah's birthday, my (Betsy) birthday and of course Valentine's Day. Rebekah will be three-which I am in denial about. How can my little baby already be three years old? Sometimes I try and hold her like a baby. It lasts for about 1 second before she tries to get up and declares, "I'm not a baby!" She has started going to a Mother's Morning out program once a week. She loves it! That has convinced her even more that she's a big girl now. I am turning 30-which I am also in denial. How can I be turning 30?! I am still coming to grips with that actually. It's just really weird!
Nothing else too exciting going on. Just random things like I finally finished painting all the trim in my living room...that's a project I started last October! And Jeremiah has to get tubes put in his ears again! They are also going to remove his adenoids this time. This, according to the doctor, should help him sleep better at night which, in turn, should help him be happier during the day! Here's hoping!
This is Jeremiah holding up the puzzle we did for Family Home Evening.

I was telling Timothy goodnight in his bunkbed fort made out of blankets.


Here is Timothy at Honor's Day at his school. His teacher is the one at the podium and he is shaking hands with the principal.

Just a cute picture of Rebekah in her jammies and her big blue eyes!
