Each month every one in our family takes a picture of their ordinary life on an ordinary day. It helps us to stay connected as a family and watch each other grow and change. It's a wonderful little tradition. I'm grateful for my family.
 |
Abe: Tomorrow is Grace's birthday but she has a meeting so we
celebrated tonight. Henry helped her blow out the candles. |
 |
Afton: our next door neighbor's dad made him a pedal bike airplane,
and I got to test-drive it. |
 |
| Ty: Afton gave me this picture of Little Critter's family. |
 |
| Atlas: Our new bike trail has lots of cool stuff on it. |
 |
| Levin: riding on the bike trail by our house. |
 |
| Calvin: Scooping manure out of the steer pen. |
 |
Eliza: our family is working on being more grateful.
Today I drew some pictures of things I'm grateful for,
and tried to remember to say thank you a lot.
|
 |
Grace: tomorrow is my 30th birthday and I'm feeling old.
I am far from ever being as flexible as Hazel. |
 |
Hazel: loves saying "cheese" for the camera and giving a big toothy grin.
|
 |
Henry: counts the days down to family night.
Here he's showing off his trick jumping as
far as he can to dad. |
 |
Jane: After a very fun and fulfilling Easter weekend with Ray, Cali, Levin, Atlas, Abe, Grace,
Henry, and Hazel, this was the only sign they'd been here -- a very saggy, baggy Pooh tossed
on top of the piano. He seemed to miss them as badly as I did. |
 |
| Kathryn: Mrs. Potato Head |
 |
| Cali: Slowly but surely we're getting settled in our new home. |
 |
Michelle: My incredible husband gave me some delightful
kid-free time today so I could go on a refreshing run
down by the airfield this morning. |
 |
Ray: Lifting Levin up to retrieve someone's birthday balloons out of a
tree at the park. We didn't have them more than a minute before he lost
them. Easy come, easy go. |
 |
| Winnie: How I do the pool -- in the stroller sucking on a pineapple spear. |
 |
| Ande: Zeph and Ezra trying to encourage Winnie to crawl. |
 |
Zeph and Ezra: The picnic started out sweet and ideal. It ended with me (Ande)
spraying them off with the hose, giving a lecture about not rubbing
peanut butter on our bodies and being wasteful,
and watching a YouTube video about hungry refugee children. |
