A Little Bit of Ivory: M turns 5
http://alittlebitofivory.blogspot.com/2015/03/m-turns-5.html
A Little Bit of Ivory. Monday, March 9, 2015. No, I haven't actually forgotten about this blog - though it might seem that way. In my absence, M turned five. FIVE! I don't know how that happened because last time I looked, she was a baby in my arms. Some random details about my youngest:. Favorite color: Black (of course, if pressed, she will say she loves all the colors). Favorite book: The Princess in Black, by Shannon Hale. Are you sensing a theme here? She loves the Wild Kratts. When she prays, she a...

A Little Bit of Ivory: Spring Break
http://alittlebitofivory.blogspot.com/2015/04/spring-break.html
A Little Bit of Ivory. Thursday, April 2, 2015. Today, we hiked the Appalachian Trail. Not the whole thing, naturally, but a part within fairly easy reach. The boys have been asking about it, so we took a day of spring break to give it a go. We decided to do a two-day trip with it, so yesterday, we drove up to the Catoctin Mountain Zoo to see a jaguar. We drove over to Cunningham Falls for a picnic (in the car, since the wind was pretty brisk) and a hike. This morning, we tried the Discovery Center in to...

A Little Bit of Ivory: Princess Leia
http://alittlebitofivory.blogspot.com/2015/04/princess-leia.html
A Little Bit of Ivory. Thursday, April 16, 2015. M is obsessed with Star Wars these days. Black still comes in handy because she can be Darth Vader, but she really loves Princess Leia - with good reason! If she's going to like a princess, Leia is a good choice. :). The problem for me is the hair. Leia has amazing hair, and M has gone from wanting nothing done with her hair to wanting Leia buns or braids. The only thing that saves me is her imagination which takes this:. And turns it into this:. Call The ...

A Little Bit of Ivory: February 2014
http://alittlebitofivory.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
A Little Bit of Ivory. Friday, February 28, 2014. Things I want to remember. J likes to make up his own words. One of my favorites is "versing" as in "We were versing the red team in soccer." He also likes "battling" as a soccer term. C got a motion detector socket for Christmas and startled us repeatedly by setting it up in unsuspected rooms. You would walk in and lights would come on automatically. It burned out already though. :(. C set up his own radio station a couple of weeks ago. He took over ...

A Little Bit of Ivory: June 2014
http://alittlebitofivory.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
A Little Bit of Ivory. Tuesday, June 17, 2014. I am so far behind on this blog, but I have been thinking about this post for a long time now. My youngest brother and his wife recently adopted this sweet boy:. Isn't he a darling? They brought him home from the hospital as a newborn and finalized the adoption in April. I keep thinking of the boy's birth mother, what a tough decision this was for her. How would it be to let that child of your body go to someone else, even if you knew it was for the best?

A Little Bit of Ivory: Quick trip
http://alittlebitofivory.blogspot.com/2014/09/quick-trip.html
A Little Bit of Ivory. Tuesday, September 16, 2014. Since we knew the kids had the first of (too many) random days off school coming up, we tried to motivate them to finish memorizing the Articles of Faith. By offering a fun trip as a reward. In typical C fashion, he waited until the last minute, then passed everyone up, memorizing about half of them in 2 days. The other two boys worked on them more gradually, but finally passed off #11 on Monday. We found some dinner then came back and had a donut while...

A Little Bit of Ivory. Monday, March 31, 2014. Sponge Hat or A Contribution to Higher Learning. I should be prepping for Joy School, which I'm teaching tomorrow, however, I wanted to record this. They took a photo for me! We spent about 2 hours there (plus sitting in rush hour traffic on the way. argh! She had a great time and earned $40 for her mission/college fund. Not bad for a 4-year-old! They had exactly what she wanted! Friday, March 21, 2014. No But really, flannel covered in cats? I couldn't find...
