January Phone Dump

Woke up one morning and this beautiful sunrise was there.

Adelyn loooooooooves to hold this little boy.

Making gak.

GAK!  Yay!!

Baby boy's first bath with toys and an actual water level.  By himself.

   

Everyone always asks if he ever cries.  Here it is folks.  Crying.

The kids were dying to go outside.  It was super windy and the wind chill was below zero.  So I bundled them up and out they went.

I don't like food.  This bib is nice though.

Brined a turkey for the first time.  Best turkey ever. 

 I like to barf.  Barfing is my favorite.

#onlyme #onlyinmichigan  The garage door and I haven't been friends lately.

Adelyn was super upset after Christmas because she wanted a yo-yo and didn't get one.  I can't make this up.  The quarterly Awana award for averaging two verses a week was yo-yos.  She was SO thrilled.

Allergist visit yielded no allergies.  Good news and bad news.

Had these for lunch one day.  Adelyn saw it in her magazine.  There is an apple underneath those marshmallows.

And peanut butter.  Lots of peanut butter.

 I just don't like bland food.  I'll eat everything else.

Food Friday!  Brecken and Joelle have letter flashcards and Adelyn has sight words.  They have mini dried marshmallows on them and get to eat them if they find the correct letter.  Adelyn has two on hers and has to spell it as well.

Adelyn begged (and begged) to go ice skating over Christmas break.  It was too warm.  So we dropped L off at Mrs Joy's one Saturday and took the three big kids.

They loved it.

 

Cut the kids' hair and I may have missed some on J....

 I was sooooo soooo proud of her for writing this.  She has really struggled with sounding out words because she doesn't want to be wrong.  I keep telling her she just has to TRY.  It won't be perfect but just try.  She came home from school one day with this paper.  I was more proud of what she wrote..  "I want people to (have) Jesus in (their) hearts."

Clearly we need to work on letter placement but I am just so glad she is trying.  She really struggles when it's not perfect the first time.  She gets mad at herself  and so super frustrated. 

(Eric wrote this sentence.  You can figure out what it means)

Some people may choose to accent with throw pillows.  In the Fitzgerald's, we take a different approach..
