One of our newest additions to our daily schedule- we're really still working on getting our days to flow a little more, it has been getting easier since the school year started- has quickly become the favorite part of everyone's day. Our walk to Daddy starts before we even get out the door by doing a quick cleanup of the living room and kitchen area about 40 minutes before Daddy normally arrives home. Once that is done Cameron goes in the stroller and down the driveway we go. One of the ... continue reading...

Three Fun Things to Teach Your Toddler
I like alliteration, just in case you didn't notice. :-) Last week was rather busy, hence the lack of the post that I said was going to come every week. Ben had class in Chicago for work and the boys and I went with him. We also took Ben's sister along with us to help with the boys. You will not meet her in any of these pictures because she insisted that she didn't need to be in any of them. The first couple of days we (Cassie and I, Seth-boy and Baby Cameron) didn't do much other than ... continue reading...
