Project 365: Week 16

Hi! It’s been an exciting week here. I’m starting to get settled in to my new home here at gfunkified.com, and appreciate all of the support you’ve shown me already!

April 15

Henry had some Easter money burning a hole in his pocket, so he and I (and Ervin) went on a […]

One.

You are one. You are loud. You are sweet. You watch your brother and sisters with an intense interest, but never longing. Oh no. If you want to be in the middle of the action, you are there.You are passionate. You yell to get attention, you cry when your heart […]

11 Months

That’s hard to write. In less than a month, our (quite possibly last) baby will be a year old. It’s making me all kinds of emotional. Ervin is standing on his own now, cruising all over the furniture, and (much to my chagrin) taking one or two steps here and […]

She is two.

I run my fingers through her hair. Her soft, blonde waves. She giggles and runs away.Later, I close my ears off to the siren of cries, turn my back to the alligator tears running down her face. I can’t respond to the wails and cook dinner and hear what her […]

Dear Henry,

Today, you’re six.Another year has come and gone, much too fast. But you’re the oldest of FOUR (!) and we treat you as such. Sometimes you resent it, and sometimes you soak it up.You light up a room with your excitement and huge, friendly smile (and let’s not forget those […]

Just Look At This Boy!

He officially did it for the first time last weekend at Carisa’s house. And yesterday I couldn’t catch it with the camera.But today…I mean, can you see why I can’t keep from kissing the cheeks?! And now he’s sitting up and growing up so fast. There will be no shortage […]

Give Peas A Chance

Big Erv turns five months old on Wednesday, and since he gobbled up the vanilla ice cream that his grandma gave him at a birthday party recently, and because diaper changes were starting to get a touch boring around here (HA!), I thought it was time for him to try […]
