This past weekend was Simon’s 6th birthday. It just so happened that a Cub Scout camping trip was scheduled for the weekend of Simon’s birthday. Luckily, he loves Cub Scouts and loves camping so we signed up for the trip. Abel and I don’t usually go on the camping trips but we decided to come…
Simon graduated from preschool last week. He had such a great year at preschool and even though every morning he complained that he didn’t want to go to school he loved every day and was such a great student. I registered him for Kindergarten at the same school that Jude and Noah attend. We’ve already…
On November 3rd Simon turned 5 years old. We celebrated with cupcakes in his preschool class and a dinner of pizza and salad, as per his request.

I’m just now…

I’m sad that our breastfeeding relationship is over, especially since he is probably the last baby, however, I’m slightly excited about…
Sunday was Simon’s 1st birthday. We didn’t do anything extravagant to celebrate Simon’s big day. Between the time change and Jude throwing up on the way to church we decided it would be a good idea to have a low-key day at home. I did buy some celebratory blueberry muffins from Whole Foods. He was…
