Ellie’s Egg Carton (with a bonus Real Conversation)
Remember this picture? From two weeks ago? And I promised to reveal the method to the egg carton madness a week after I posted it? But then I got a cold and didn’t post anything at all? You know, this one…
Jen was by far the closest with her guess that Ellie was gathering [...]
Jerseys Have More Fun
I visited Vermont for the first time NINE years ago. And for nine years I have wanted to visit Billing’s Farm, but for some reason or another have never been.
The cows at this farm are without a question the prettiest cows I have ever seen.
Lovely! Check out that eyeliner!
What [...]
Bamm-Bamm
We bought a drum for Ellie, hoping to begin and encourage her musical education with a little rhythm practice. Little did we know that A-bram-bamm-bamm would get the most use out of it.
Bamm.
Bamm.
Bamm.
He loves to play with the drum. He crawls to it frequently, head butting it [...]
A Real Conversation
Kristie: Guess what, Ellie! Daddy said that tomorrow we get to go ride bikes down by the river as a family. All of us. You, me, Abram, and Daddy too! Won’t that be fun?
Ellie: (not sure of the fun-ness of the plan) You can swim in the river?
Kristie: No. You can’t swim in the river. [...]
Not Me! Monday
I believe it’s about time for another…
At no point during this week did I come out of the bathroom to find Abram covered in fluorescent pink drool. I did not then pry a very large wad of Playdoh from the roof of his mouth. And I certainly did not proceed to give Ellie [...]

Up to WHAT?
It’s time for another “Guess what Ellie is up to!” here on Far East Street.
The photographic evidence (from last week at the park)…
What is Ellie up to here?
Remember, underneath all those pony tails this girl has a killer imagination. So give me your best and don’t be shy (that means you blogstalkers, you [...]
Nana’s Swing
Nana’s swing was full of cousins during our visit to Vermont.
Kato learned how to pump on his own.
Ellie figured out she could twist and spin.
Kira did the Superman-style swing.
And Abram grinned his gummy grin.
(plus one more, Kamari, who was too little to ride on the swings)
We [...]
The Gabbies
This is an update about talking. And my kids. My kids and their talking.
One is a Talker. This one.
Oh, she’s been a talker for over a year now. But it’s only recently that she has become a Talker. A constant stream of “What’s that?“s and “and then…“s and “this is…“s. She asks questions, [...]
Just in case you needed to smile today.
You’re smiling now, right?
And you’re ready for a little update on our 7 month old?
Good.
Abram is growing right on up. He’s eating solids, pulling up, and learning to sleep through the night (against his will). I thought he was getting a tooth in. I could even see and feel a tiny white [...]
