Abby's Special Box


Today Abby and I went to a ladies tea at our church. Part of the event was decorating boxes to fill with love or joy or gratitude or encouragement etc. When asked Abby said that she was going to use hers as a special baby brother box for her special things to remember her brother that died. I didn't suggest that. It was all her idea, but I love that was what she wanted to do with it.

Nathaniel Day 20 - Children's Museum







You can read about the idea behind Nathaniel Day and the activities of previous months by clicking on the Nathaniel Day Activities tab at the top of the page.

My sister and her two daughters were here in the beginning of October so they got to join us for a Nathaniel Day. Usually we wouldn't go to the children's museum for a Nathaniel Day because we go there all the time, since we can go for free, but with the cousins around and Felicity starting to be able to do some stuff we decided to go.

We had so much fun. We shopped and worked in a restaurant and took care of babies and pets and danced and played music and surfed. It was a beautiful day so we were also able to enjoy the outside part, where we usually can't get Abby to go. Out there we found things to climb on and a maze to run through and a tunnel to go through.

I think the highlight of the day for both big girls was right before we left I gave them both a penny to put in the donation thing by the entrance to the museum. They were both enthralled watching them go down.

Catching Up

I haven't posted here in months. It's been busy around our house with two girls. I haven't had a lot of time to write during the day with one girl who doesn't nap any more and one who will sometimes only nap for an hour a day.

Felicity seems to have been teething for months. She got her first tooth the week of Christmas and has been sleeping better since. Hopefully the sleeping trend will continue and I will be able to catch up here. I have four Nathaniel Day posts to catch up on now. I plan to write those and post them soon. Maybe by his birthday next month I will be all caught up.
