Hey Look, It's my Midwife!

Baby, You’re Home

Homebirth in the New York Times. :)

Free as a Bird


We ditched the training wheels, and Lillian took off...she is SO proud of herself! She was riding up and down the street screaming "Woo-hoo! Oh yeah! Woooo!!!!"

Best Dollhouse Ever!!!!

I saw these amazing dollhouses online, waldorf style, made my a German company called Kinderkram and a US one called Elves and Angels. While both equally magnificent, at $300 I just couldn't justify it since we had gotten a dollhouse last year from Plan Toys. I wasn't overly happy with it though, and just itching to replace. Lilli didn't even care that I wanted to replace it, so you know she didn't love it either LOL. So, I showed the pictures I linked to Stephen, and he built us one! FROM SCRATCH. As in, he took boards of wood, cut them, joined them, sanded them, etc. I helped design and sand, but he put in the 30+ hours of work. Now we know why they are so expensive!!!!! The final product, however, is simply breathtaking. I think we'll be enjoying it for generations. Remember, you can click on the photos to see them bigger. :)





Halloween

We went with a group of homeschoolers to a local "pumpkin patch" (not really any real patches around here LOL!!!) for story time and to get our pumpkins.

That night, we all went trick-or-treating.

Even Lucy seemed to enjoy her first Halloween. :) The big kids were loving it....Mickade kept saying "This is the greatest Halloween EVER!!!" He couldn't believe how much candy he was getting. He thought it was way better than NY. Which is funny, because he apparently doesn't remember that his bucket got so full there that we had to keep emptying it into the stroller!



The next day we had Lillian's 4th Birthday party at the field after the football game.
