Adessa, Eliana, and Annea: March 2014
http://bumblebeebabygirl.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Adessa, Eliana, and Annea. Friday, March 14, 2014. More Than Two Weeks? We've had some colds and coughs, and strep throat(Adessa) and an ear infection (Annea). Probably the biggest thing keeping me away from blogging is my newfound determination to exercise. Discipline has not been one of my strengths, ever, really. But I have been doing resistance high intensity interval training and walking myself around the block, and feeling good. And so, without further ado:. Eliana: Just had Kindergarten Round Up!

Adessa, Eliana, and Annea: Church Camp 2015
http://bumblebeebabygirl.blogspot.com/2015/07/church-camp-2015.html
Adessa, Eliana, and Annea. Sunday, July 19, 2015. It is with great pride and a week-long, camp induced euphoria, that this next post is written. Seven moms from church got together months ago to create an Orthodox VBS kind of camp for our kids. We wanted them to build Orthodox identity, to get to know the other kids better, and for us moms to bond and build community. And it worked! Tuesday was at the Newberry's beautiful Bonny Doon property. Practicing using her five senses, Annea sniffs the flowers.

Adessa, Eliana, and Annea: October 2013
http://bumblebeebabygirl.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Adessa, Eliana, and Annea. Sunday, October 27, 2013. Instead of every two weeks, maybe I'll try posting twice a month. I'll get busy to do two posts for October. What has happened? Enjoy these fall photos, before reading about my ongoing parenting freak out. Fall Harvest Festival at church (so fun! Four is a hard year. I thought it was just Adessa, but let me remember for Annea: four is hard. Let it be noted! Maybe because four year olds can do so much, there are whole other sets of boundaries to push?

Adessa, Eliana, and Annea: September 2013
http://bumblebeebabygirl.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Adessa, Eliana, and Annea. Sunday, September 15, 2013. Jen, Dad's nanny, always has us over for dinner- so nice. Here's dessert! Annea's first popsicle. She knows when something is a big deal, and squeals, and chatters, and smiles so big. Her popsicle was a Big Deal! Though she's giving her camera smile, here. Here's her normal, lovely smile:. Rainbow Day at Adessa's class. Fun for all the girls. Early morning wake-up sweetness. Tuesday, September 3, 2013. It's so nice to know I have readers that I will ...

Adessa, Eliana, and Annea: April 2014
http://bumblebeebabygirl.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Adessa, Eliana, and Annea. Monday, April 21, 2014. We did a little bit more for Pascha this year. It went well, and maybe we should have been doing a little bit more all along. We made it to several holy week services, and the girls did great overall. Anticipating Abba throwing flowers during Saturday's service, our favorite. Snuggling with Daddy waiting for the rest of the service to happen. Really, for the girls, it's all about throwing the flowers. Cute Easter photo area. During the midnight service.

Adessa, Eliana, and Annea. Thursday, March 5, 2015. Elsa hair. Like many things with Annea, this started out as a good idea. She loves Frozen, and Elsa, and long hair, and initially loved the hat. She gets outrageously frustrated when things aren't exactly right- this doesn't fit her well- (sound like any other kid you know! And we have resorted to hiding the Elsa hat because it makes for tears and gnashing of teeth all around. Ikea TROFAST DURKABDA put to new uses. Adessa's first science project. Openin...

Adessa, Eliana, and Annea: Biking
http://bumblebeebabygirl.blogspot.com/2015/07/biking.html
Adessa, Eliana, and Annea. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Snuggling with her bike. She loves carrying it, dragging it around, and sitting on it. The gliding hasn't happened so much, but it will come! Got more and more frustrated as she watched Eliana zooming by her. It was difficult to try to encourage Eliana (She's riding a bike! While not totally demoralizing Adessa. Difficult. We learned to divide and conquer, and Adessa is getting it after a few sessions with Daddy. The future bike gang. Eliana going for it.

Adessa, Eliana, and Annea. Sunday, April 12, 2015. On Not Going to the Pascha Service Last Night. Seems like the biggest) feast of the year. Maybe it's because I'm not a night person, but in the best of times I don't like going to midnight services. I understand the concept, celebrate the first instant you possibly can, and. I don't like it. Before I had kids I would go and each and every year wonder why we are still. Having church at ungodly hours? An Aside: There are plenty of Orthodox people who only ...

Adessa, Eliana, and Annea: December 2014
http://bumblebeebabygirl.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Adessa, Eliana, and Annea. Saturday, December 20, 2014. Maybe It's Been Long Enough. Since I should be getting out Christmas decorations and clearing space for the tree we ventured out into the rain for this morning, seems like a perfect time to finally, finally, blog. Oh my goodness. So very much has happened since my last post July 30th. Eliana's first day of kindergarten. Adessa's first day of second grade. November, the whole month. Here's the photos to prove:. Precious reading time with Aunt Deborah.

Adessa, Eliana, and Annea: Swimming
http://bumblebeebabygirl.blogspot.com/2015/07/swimming.html
Adessa, Eliana, and Annea. Wednesday, July 15, 2015. Oh Frabcious Day, my girls made huge progress swimming this summer! The heavens parted and angels sang as she lifted her feet of the bottom of the pool and first floated, then glided, then paddled and kicked. She's swimming! Still very hesitantly and for short spurts, but the girl is swimming. Yay! I can stop trying to convince myself, for Eliana anyway, that she'll swim when she's ready. She is ready. It was exciting times, people! Now you see her.
