Erin's Visit

Stirling took to Erin right away and wanted her to play with him constantly. When he went down for his naps, he wanted Erin to sleep next to him too! It was a short visit, but a good one.

Family Things

This morning I got to snuggle both of my boys in my lap at the same time. Logan had been really fussy, and Stirling was being stubborn and cranky. I lost my temper and got upset at Stirling. Of course, I immediately felt terrible and invited him onto my lap for a hug. That snuggle time together was a balm to all of our spirits. The three of us were able to share that time and make a fresh start to our day. I feel so lucky when I get to have moments like that with my boys.

I finally have pictures of the boys wearing their "tye-dye" shirts that we made last month. I think they turned out really cute.





















Stirling loves to use yarn to wrap around the stair railings to make a sort of web. I usually try to untangle and re-roll as much of it as I can. This last time, we had to cut a bunch of the yarn off the railing, and rather than let it go to waste, I did this project with Stirling. I wrote the letters and Stirling said their names and sounds, then I traced with glue and Stirling stuck the yarn on the letters. It is a neat visual as we enter the house to remind us how important family is in our lives.
