Our Little Night Owl

Tom and I are a little (a lot) sleep deprived. All we're asking for for Christmas gifts is a nice, long nap! Aiden is a night owl and we have had some long nights at our house as of late. Aiden has got to start sleeping more soon, but having babies that don't sleep run on both sides of the family so we may be in for a long haul. I'm talking to the pediatrician about it tomorrow in hopes of finding a peaceful and successful solution.

This is what Aiden learned to do at 12 AM last night. He was pretty proud of himself.

At last! A sleeping daddy AND a sleeping baby...something that doesn't happen very much so I photographed it. A sleeping baby means that mama can finally go to sleep...for a little while at least.

Apple Creek

A new year, a new orchard. This year we tried out Apple Creek Orchard and it was a really pretty place. We picked apples, took a hay ride, and the boys had fun with the apple slinger. We were joined by Tom's parents and it feels so good to have them now living close by instead of far away.

Almost to the finish line.

It's hard to believe that Aiden turns 18 in one week and walks through graduation in just one month. After more than a decade of homeschooling, 2 years of PSEO, and no less than one million moments that I'll treasure forever, my oldest will be an adult and graduated. Great things are ahead for my boy!

Happy Birthday, Cade!

My littlest is seven and it's hard not to be sad. We couldn't be without him, and we're so glad he's ours. At seven years old Cade loves to do what everyone else is doing. He will NOT play by himself, and maybe it's because he's used to having someone to entertain him all the time. He loves legos and soccer. He also loves to read. I am ALWAYS finding Cade trying to tackle reading a book he probably isn't quite ready for. Lately he's been trying to read The Hobbit. While he's able to read all the words, he just doesn't have the depth of understanding to read it independently quite yet. He LOVES Tom Sawyer so he was delighted to find an abridged version to read. Cade makes up his own mind about things. He will NOT be bossed around. He holds his own, so I don't worry about his brothers pushing him over. Cade also won't be pushed over physically. He is one tough kid. If Cade is crying, I know he is actually hurt because he never cries ove...
