Time with Daddy

One Tuesday night each month, one of the kids gets to spend time alone with Daddy! Naturally, we are rotating in birth order, as we are unimaginative womps when it comes to curtailing the choruses of “Me first!” I remember my own Dad doing this with my three sisters and me growing up. Somehow the only one that comes to mind right now is seeing a movie that involved the “Hey, Vern” guy (Ernest, maybe?) and Christmas. I loved it, mostly because my Dad was sitting next to me.

So Lydia and Paul biked to a concert at Reed’s Lake park last Tuesday. They rocked out to some 80s tunes and then had ice cream at nearby Jersey Junction. Lydia came back elated. Awesome. Eli is up next!

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 James

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.”

Eli loses his first tooth

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.
First lost tooth!

YouthFit

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.
