Andy & Anna's Family Blog: jude boy
http://aafam.blogspot.com/2015/04/jude-boy.html
Friday, April 10, 2015. Six years. That has a funny sound to it, like it's not-so-little of a kid, and a little closer to big-boyhood than I am comfortable with for my third-born. Which is often followed by your throaty grunt-giggle that's hilariously contagious. You have a bashful side when you're the center of attention- but your animated side comes out often in full intensity:. And yet you are not lacking a little bit of sweetness that's appropriate for an. How blessed is the man who finds wisdom.

http://aafam.blogspot.com/2015/01/happenings.html
Friday, January 23, 2015. Prepare to be amazed. In only 2 weeks' time I have produced somewhere in the vicinity of 15 to 20 random shots. Hooray! I might not snap something every single day, but I'm doing a lot better than before. So, in rapid-fire style:. Calvin's double-aced spelling tests. Crafty kitty (this sweet sewing session may or may not have ended in a tantrum-induced tearing of the cardboard.). I call that a miracle. Candy Land. Oh, yeah. A block replica of our state capitol. What we do all day.

Andy & Anna's Family Blog: my eight-year-old boy
http://aafam.blogspot.com/2015/05/my-eight-year-old-boy.html
Saturday, May 16, 2015. My half-grown boy who's too-ornery for his own good.what do I do with you? You relish the contrary. You rejoice in opposition. You are my very antithesis. Case in point: the smile that you refuse to share:. If it bubbles up inside, you hide it, swallow it, and put on your steel-faced glare. When you successfully irritate me with this scheme,. Sometimes I wonder what's going on in that head of yours. We love you, Buddy. And don't forget to smile. ;). Happy day to Calvin! We believe...

Andy & Anna's Family Blog: today you are four
http://aafam.blogspot.com/2015/05/today-you-are-four.html
Sunday, May 10, 2015. Today you are four. Jada Kay. What is this mama going to do? You and I had an agreement, about you staying little. That you would stop growing. But, it seems you are rebelliously shooting up before my eyes. The baby stage is gone- and you verbally remind me often of just how big you are getting. You are a complete chatterbox. You tell jokes that are. Of your siblings. You also love to make an impression with your everyday "SUH-PRIZE! In the last month you've initiated the family to ...

Andy & Anna's Family Blog: ten
http://aafam.blogspot.com/2015/05/ten.html
Sunday, May 17, 2015. A decade. That's how long ago you came into our world and added a whole new wonderful demension to life. Even now as I have a sense of time slipping away before my eyes, I'm loving having you at home during the day. You've proven to be quite diligent with your school work, and your strong independent streak has proven helpful in getting homeschool done when I'm preoccupied elsewhere. You still have a playful side (especially when little tots are around). Ten hit me hard when Marissa...

Wednesday, March 18, 2015. Randomness, fun, and springing into spring. We've been immensely enjoying some warm Spring weather over a nice Spring break and moving through the school year with all sorts of good and fun things happening:. Captain Hook is sword-fighting Peter Pan (these "swords" were swiftly stowed away after the snapshot, nowhere to be found when two animated boys arrive home.). In honor of Green Day: green matcha latte (if you haven't tried matcha tea, you are missing out! Hope you have an...

http://aafam.blogspot.com/2015/04/girly-things-and-not-so-girly.html
Monday, April 27, 2015. Girly things. . . and the not-so-girly. While the sideshow of life is ticking by at record pace, I'm still trying to capture a few shots of everyday life on camera. Here's one of many play homes that Cami has arranged for Jada.this one is especially domestic, including a napping baby, older "children," a clock, a camera, a desk, and a felt hamburger:. And it's nice to see Little Sis proving worthwhile now and then and pulling her share of the load:. Ask permission first.). And the...
