The Howell Family: January 2012
http://howellfam.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Our every day moments and memories. Friday, January 27, 2012. Of course Ivy's "eleven" milestones will be important, right? Today she is ELEVEN weeks. Where does the time go? Tuesday, January 17, 2012. I didn't think we'd get snow this year. So happy to be wrong! But maybe 1 big storm is enough for me! Thursday, January 12, 2012. What 10 years will do. 10 years ago, this was me and my baby girl. Lydia was colicky, only nursed to sleep, and stressed us out. I thought grocery shopping was tricky. No one be...

The Howell Family: Derek's bday
http://howellfam.blogspot.com/2013/03/dereks-bday.html
Our every day moments and memories. Wednesday, March 6, 2013. I love a good candle shot. :). Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting for my handsome man. On his.uh. 30ish birthday. He told the kids he was 18. His sister and her family came from Portland and there was. Lots of running around like crazy after balloons. Tying people to poles. Pumping balloons to chase. Finally getting dads hat. Posing for mandatory cousin pictures. Throwing that baby WAY too high. But look at her smile! Oh, youre back!

Our every day moments and memories. Wednesday, February 6, 2013. Not only I am struggling to blog, but I don't always record enough of Ivy's milestones. Here's what she does right now. or recently - ish. :). Playing ring-around-the-rosies with her siblings. Grace LOVES matching with Ivy. Love the hand-me-downs from when Lydia and Ellie used to match. So cute. And here's Lydia and Ellie in them! He's always the messer-upper. :). Ivy will be 15 months on Monday! She just learned to play the harmonica.

The Howell Family: August 2011
http://howellfam.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Our every day moments and memories. Wednesday, August 31, 2011. A bite of the bittersweet. I've really been trying to savor this summer. Make the most of every day because it's the LAST one before baby "cinco" comes along. Does anyone else ever feel like preparing for a baby is preparing for life as you know it to end? I have moments of just loving summer and not ever wanting it to end and moments (at the store with 4 wild monkeys) that I'm counting down the days til this crew finds somewhere else to be!

The Howell Family: September 2011
http://howellfam.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Our every day moments and memories. Sunday, September 25, 2011. This was one happy day at our house. The question is who was happier - Grace or me! This is the day that moms look forward to for years. A little slice of freedom, a little peace and quiet with ALL the kids at school. Granted, it's only 3 times a week for 2 1/2 hours, but that's a whole lot more than I've ever had! What a strange, wonderful feeling it is! Here's Grace on her first day of preschool! Aren't these girlies cute? They crack me up.

Our every day moments and memories. Tuesday, July 17, 2012. Here is one happy NINE year old! We were headed to Spokane for the 4th and Ellie requested birthday dinner at G&G Howell's this year. French dips, chips and fruit with fancy pants brownies for dessert. YUM! It was a fun night, worth the birthday drive across the state. :) I sure love this girlie! Sunday, July 1, 2012. For her birthday this year, Lydia picked dinner out as a family instead of a party. Whew! And isn't she pretty? Derek's parents d...

The Howell Family: November 2011
http://howellfam.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Our every day moments and memories. Wednesday, November 23, 2011. Just a few more pictures of Ivy. Her hair only stays curly for a few minutes after her bath, but here's the proof that it curls at all! I am so curious to see happens when her hair really grows in. I'm crossing my fingers for curls! And I've been asked who she looks most like and I think that she looks like Grace. So here's a couple pics of Grace as a newborn for comparison. :). Tuesday, November 15, 2011. November 11, 2011.
