Zach and I have been working to compile a Christmas gift recommendations list for our family. It’s still a draft, but you can find it on the Christmas tab or here. We will continue to update the list as we think of new ideas.

I still regularly think of things to write about, but I rarely take the time to sit down and write these days. I’m not going to write much now either because I want to go to bed instead.
Here is a picture I took on a Sunday afternoon when I discovered Isaac reading to Charlotte. [...]

I found this little video on my camera that Isaac took. I had no idea that he had taken my camera and made a video. The video shakes constantly, so if you’re prone to motion sickness, you might want to just listen to it rather than watch it—I’ll admit that I had to close my [...]

Nicole has officially started potty training. We’ve had some early attempts to train her whenever she has shown some interest in the potty or underwear, but each time it quickly became clear that she was not really ready to start using the potty everyday.

Today was Isaac and Charlotte’s first day of school. It was Charlotte’s first day ever and she was super excited. She got up as soon as she saw the first glimmer of sunlight through her window. She made her bed and got dressed before anyone else was even out of bed. Over breakfast Isaac explained, [...]
