Here is Stryker’s room. His theme is balls (and some stars, too, which works well transitioning from his baby room). The stickers on his walls are black, blue, and red stars that you can take off and reposition. They were a gift from Grandma Hagy. You can see the ball pillows that we bought at [...]
Here is Peytra’s room. It has sort of the same decor as Stryker’s baby room did. The “theme” is blue and yellow stars and moon, but you can’t really see a lot of evidence of that in the pictures. The clock is stars and a moon, and the changing pad is yellow, while the hamper [...]
A bunch of little stuff has happened for all of us the past few days.
Peytra rolled from her tummy to her back twice on Sunday for the first time. She was laying on her back, I then rolled her to her tummy, and she rolled back on her own.
Stryker started parent-child swimming lessons on Monday. [...]
We now have green grass growing in our yard! Keith planted it on Saturday, June 6, and we started to notice it coming up on Sunday, June 14. It’s coming up all over, so that’s exciting. Also, Keith has started building the deck. He had the wood delivered and put on the empty lot next [...]
Here is Peytra in her dress for this Sunday. We are pretty sure this one was a gift from Keith’s soccer team.
Peytra has been smiling quite a bit and also is starting to make sounds, or “talk” as Stryker says. Whenever she makes a sound that isn’t crying or pooping, he says, “She talked!” She [...]
We are finally organized enough for me to post a picture of more of our rooms. Here is our kitchen, which adjoins directly to the tv room (family room), with the eating area in between. Our patio door is right next to the table.
We tend to call our family room the “tv room” because I [...]
Today is Stryker’s 3rd birthday. Here is a picture of him with his much-anticipated fire truck cake. I had promised I’d make him one, and I requested a book from the library about kids cakes. I figured it would definitely have a fire truck cake in it. I picked it up on Monday, and it [...]
Keith has worked all week to get our lawn started. On Friday, he literally worked almost from dawn to dusk, spreading topsoil, raking it, and seeding and rolling it. On Saturday morning, he did some more work, including seeding again and covering it with straw (by hand).
He’ll also be building a deck right off of [...]
This Sunday, Peytra didn’t wear an actual dress to church. It is pretty chilly and rainy here, and most of the dresses she has received as gifts have short sleeves. So instead, she wore this dressy sleeper that we got from my parents’ house.
Grandma and Grandpa Traska and Aunt Heather were here yesterday, and they [...]
