Questions for Mom(s)

I saw this on the Motherlode blog - check out the link on the left. All the Mom's who read this want to post comments.

What’s the one thing you would have done differently as a mom?
Why did you choose to be with my dad?
In what ways do you think I’m like you?
What do you like best about each of your kids?
Is there anything you have always wanted to tell me but never have?
Do you think it’s easier or harder to be a mother now than when you were raising our family?
Is there anything you regret not having asked your parents?
What’s the best thing I can do for you right now?
Is there anything that you wish had been different between us — or that you would still like to change?
When did you realize you were no longer a child?

Grandma and Grandpa and Grandpa
















Grandma Linda and Grandpa John came over a couple of days in advance to help celebrate Ethan's birthday. Willa and Ethan get so excited when they know Grandma and Grandpa are coming to visit - their faces practically light up. Willa is now a big fan of calling Grandma on the phone to say "I love you." Ethan and Grandpa JOhn and Grandpa Bob went to the Museum of Flight. Big hit!

Birthday

Well, Ethan had his 4th birthday at Pump-It-Up as planned. Many of his school friends and Nick and Parker showed up. Cupcakes were a hit and bouncing was fun. Here are some photos from the event.












It was tough to wait for everyone to arrive and the party to start.

Rabbit poop

Almost every morning and most afternoons Willa wants raisins. You have to put enough into the cup so she can't see the bottom, then she happily carries around her cup and munches on raisins for the next 1/2 hour.

Karri thinks they look like rabbit poop and can't understand how come Willa is so fond of them.

Fortunately, recent news indicates that the raisins are good for her teeth - surprise.

My little Eph

This morning Ethan heard a name as Ulla and I said that I had known an Ulla in college. His response - "At Williams College; that's where I am going to go."

I am so proud.
