Legos from Seoul
I’m posting this link so my sister and brother-in-law can watch Aden open the birthday gift they sent. Thank you, Aunt Chloe and Uncle Jereme! Eli and Lydia helped Aden build it and they finished it this morning. Very fun!

Aden was born 4 years ago today at 4:00 on a Friday morning. All 9 lbs 2 oz of him came into the world red-faced and crying. His name means “fiery” for a reason! His favorite line lately is: “Mommy, guess what?” And I always say “What?” like I don’t know what’s coming. In his little-boy voice he croons, “I love you, Mommy.”

Came across this picture today of us ready to see The Nutcracker on my birthday last December! It reminded me that Lydia and Eli are getting ready for their End-of-the-Year performance with the Grand Rapids Ballet on June 3 and 4. Come if you can!
Look how far the new one is in already! It was pushing the baby tooth at a really odd angle so he pulled it out himself last night after a week of uncomfortable biting.

Two years ago today…


This week…

Happy Birthday, dear Clara. What a fun two years getting to know little you!
A few pics from the “Crazy Wacky Olympics” at YouthFit, a homeschool sports/games class run by East Hills Athletic Club. Lydia and Eli love this 2 hours every Tuesday afternoon!
In these pics, Eli is waiting his turn for the relay and Lydia and her friends Zoe and Ruby are posing with their running ribbons. Eli and Lydia both snagged 3rd place in the 1-mile run for their age groups.
