This is what I do.
I take pictures. This blog is a way for me to capture the every day moments in this season of my life before it becomes too foggy in my memory for me to recall. This is a tangible reminder of what my life was like, what we did, what was important to us, how we spent our days. These are the every day matters, because to me, every day matters.

The bedhead of the curly headed child can be quite hilarious!

This boy is so sweet and thoughtful. We were home together this afternoon while Ansley was at school and Avery was napping, and he heard the mailman. He jumped up and ran out to get it - not because he loves getting the mail, but because he knows his Mama loves receiving the mail.

Some days we finish school at a reasonable hour and have an afternoon of free time, and some days......well, we don't. You can see that it's dark outside, and Ansley is getting some homework done.

These three are happy to be reunited. Ansley and Christian got clean, lots of laundry was finished, and we enjoyed dinner at Mimi's. When we got home, these three were being silly together, and very cooperative for a picture. So cute! (As always, you can see that Ansley is in a different pj season than the other two!)

It was a very productive, yet strange, weekend with just me and Avery. My Mom and I hung out for the majority of the weekend, which was fun! We got some Christmas shopping done, and I got some projects nearly done for the kids for Christmas. It was fun for my Mom and I to have some time together, and get in some one on one time with Avery (for both of us!).

John took the two older kids and met up with his good friend Mark and his son for a weekend of camping. Here's Hamilton, Christian and Ansley around the campfire. They were SO excited to go camping and had a great weekend of fun!

Avery is seriously funny sometimes. This is her serious funny face. She knows she's being funny when she does this, and she'll bust into laughter soon after. Notice the dress-over-dress again. We are saying yes to the dress-over-dress. (I kinda love toddler obsessions.)

How the kids entertained themselves this evening while I fixed dinner. You can't see Ansley, but she's on the other side of the table. They are rolling marbles down the car garage and Ansley is catching them at the other end, while Avery is laughing hysterically. You may also notice that Avery is starting the dress-over-dress fashion trend. She insists on wearing these two dresses every single day. They are spring dresses, but she doesn't mind. She wants to wear them NOW. (I find it rather amusing, and possibly slightly disturbing that she has opinions of her own this early.)

Mimi and the kids made a bunch of these spiders today. Then the kids had fun playing with them, so I would find them in little nooks and crannies all over the house. I have to admit, it would make me jump every time! (Even though if there were an actual spider this big in my house, I'd be moving out.)

It's ironic: I ordered this dress for Avery for the spring because it looked cute online. No one likes it - John says she looks like Aunt Jemima, Ansley says it looks like an apron, Mimi says it looks like it's from the 50's. But guess who loves it and won't take it off? She insists on wearing it every day, for helping unload the dishwasher, for naps, and for playing. Oh, and she also spins and says pitee (pretty). I don't know where she learns these things.
