Focused Time

It’s not very often that Caedmon gets alone time with Mommy. There is often a bigger brother involved. It can be rough being the little brother. So whenever there is an opportunity to have a little time with just Caedmon I try and take it. We had such an opportunity last week while Leighton was […]

Edric’s 8th Package

Has it really already been 8 packages? Wow. I’m getting quite good at stuffing things in a zip lock baggie. Sometimes I worry if I am sending the right things or if he likes them or if I am running out of ideas to send. However I got Edric’s 14 month photos last week and […]

Yellowstone Day 1

We had the awesome opportunity to spend a week in Yellowstone at the beginning of June (maybe that’s why I’ve been so lax on blogging this month, still in vacation mode). We had a great time, and while I could fill the blog with the 700+ photos I took, I will attempt to limit it […]

Dear Edric #4

Dear Sweet Edric- Hey little guy. You are growing and growing. I loved seeing your smile and your face light up in the last set of photos we got. I can only imagine the giggles that you had as well. I have to be honest. As much as I love photo day and love getting […]

Edric’s 7th Package

River Walk

As you may recall we had a huge flood last fall. A number of people in our area lost their homes and farms and livelihoods. We were very lucky and didn’t have any damage, but we have been desperately missing the trail system that goes behind our house. We heard last week that enough of […]

Dol Bam Bam

We got our photos of Edric’s first birthday with him all dressed up in his traditional Hanbok. As I’ve mentioned before the first birthday is a big deal in Korea and there is a very formal ceremony that takes place. The ceremony and celebration is known as a Dol. As part of the ceremony the […]

Wet and Wild

I’m pretty sure that water does not have magnetic properties; however my boys cannot stay away from it. It is that time of year where my back porch is dotted with various items of clothing all in different stages of drying. I have yet to just give up the fight and start the boys each […]

A Robin Named Hook

I’m not exactly sure how or why it happened, but last spring we had a Robin that visited our yard frequently. Actually he or she visited our strawberry bed frequently because we didn’t have bird netting on it he/she ate all our strawberries. It was most likely not one single robin but a number of […]

Edric’s 6th Package

Some days are easier than others to think about packing up packages. I know that Edric is getting great care, but each package also is a reminder that he is not home yet, and I wonder how many more I will have to pack before  he is home and running around the house with his […]
