Baby boy is pulling himself to standing!

An academic award for Annika in 1st grade! She got a student of the quarter award and library award this year. 

Painting and goodwill day with grandma Stock! This was our first time water color painting with grandma. So Fun! I love learning from her. She has so many artistic interests.

lego creation!

Tyson loved watching the bowling balls come up!

Abby's baby shower! Her mother in law and I hosted it. Mindy did most of it. But I had fun doing a matching game. I actually found a baby shower game in Mom's handwriting a few months ago. So I used her candy bar matching game. It was a tender mercy to find that and feel a little bit of mom with us. I am so happy for Abby to become a mother soon!

Cutie pie went shopping at Lowe's with me

laundry helper!

his outfits for preschool are sometimes a little interesting :) 

kisses and snuggles from my little puppy boy!

Esther LOVES to take care of Tyson. She is such a nurturer.

Annika has been getting into making pop up cards. I love her creative drive!

already getting into drawers!

We finished our backsplash in the kitchen and I love it!

Annika is always on board with my efforts to make our home more peaceful and centered. This is her chart to help us remember not to have screen time for a few days. :)

baby boy LOVES to "drive"

buddies at Pam's playground

he's getting his own books down. oh boy!

"Mom, will you send this to Zack?"

Annika and her awesome turkey from Thanksgiving. I had to document before we tossed it.

Esther loves to push Tyson in the stroller

wearing snow pants to protect her knees (and stay warm as a secondary benefit)- she's had a few spills on our walks lately. She loves to go for walks with me. She always wants to go with me for walks even if there is an option to stay home with dad. :)
