The Navis Family: September 2013
http://thenavisfamily.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 29, 2013. 3's Preschool and Young 5's. This fall Sebastien and Eden are starting Young 5's. I can't tell you how much we (ok, I) debated about whether to send them to Kindergarten or do a year of Young 5's. But now we have started the year and so far it is going very well. Here are some pictures from their first day of school. Violet was not starting school this day, but she wanted to "practice.". And when I went to pick her up, she came out looking like this:.

The Navis Family: Moving....
http://thenavisfamily.blogspot.com/2013/07/moving.html
Sunday, July 7, 2013. This place where our family went from two people to five. This house that we bought just in time to move in and settle before the twins came. This home where I sat for the second half of bed rest and watched Adam unpack boxes paint walls, and assemble furniture. all the while happily accepting his offers to run for the Culver's milkshakes that I craved. What wonderful memories. Memories that will never be forgotten! July 9, 2013 at 2:37 AM. July 17, 2013 at 12:45 AM. EASY" - Eat, Ac...

The Navis Family: July 2013
http://thenavisfamily.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 31, 2013. And now they're five. Sebastien and Eden turned 5 a few weeks ago. We did their annual birthday interviews and I was blown away when I compared it to last year. They both have truly grown up so much. We had their first "friend" birthday party this year, and we invited their friends from church and their preschool class. It was a lot of fun. She introduces herself: "Excuse me, my name is Eden. What is your name? I'm Eden and I'm 4 1/2, how old are you? Sunday, July 7, 2013. This ...

The Navis Family: December 2012
http://thenavisfamily.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 27, 2012. One Sunday night, she started crying from her crib and when I went in, she handed me her paci - which she would never willingly do at bedtime - and I knew. "You throw it in the garbage? She wailed. "I sleep with a broken paci," she changed her mind again and again about whether this broken, malfunctioning paci should be in bed with her or in the garbage. Finally, I threw it away. When we broke the twins' pacis. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). These are my 4 year olds. We had a wo...

The Navis Family: "EASY" - Eat, Activity, Sleep, 'You Time'
http://thenavisfamily.blogspot.com/2008/08/easy-eat-activity-sleep-you-time.html
Sunday, August 24, 2008. EASY" - Eat, Activity, Sleep, 'You Time'. This is the basic premise of "Secrets of the Baby Whisperer" - which, despite its silly title, is actually a pretty great book about caring for infants. So, this is the routine we're trying to establish. Eden and Sebastien eat. (This is quite an event in and of itself.) We don't have any pictures of this, because that would be inappropriate. Please note that I am not suggesting that it always goes exactly like this - rather, this is one e...

The Navis Family: Happy 3rd Birthday Violet!
http://thenavisfamily.blogspot.com/2013/09/happy-3rd-birthday-violet.html
Sunday, September 1, 2013. Happy 3rd Birthday Violet! Our wonderful little Violet turned THREE! And what a sweet little honey she is. I was a little concerned that this would be a tough birthday for Violet. Her brother and sister just turned 5, and she had it in her head that she was going to have "all of the little children come over" for a bouncy house birthday party. However. that's a 5 year old thing.which of course I *tried* to explain. Violet is a sweet girl, with her own personality developing mor...

The Navis Family: Winter Fun
http://thenavisfamily.blogspot.com/2013/03/winter-fun.html
Wednesday, March 13, 2013. A certain VIP made a request for some new pictures. So here's a handful from this winter. The winter started with so little snow, we were often taking walks outside. Violet went through a phase in which she wore hats around the clock. (Literally, she even slept in hats.). Then it started to snow. The first day we were snowed in, we declared a "Jammy Day." In the afternoon the kids piled up some pillows and blankets and we watched a movie. We have played in the snow a lot. This ...

The Navis Family: January 2013
http://thenavisfamily.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 4, 2013. We had an absolutely lovely Christmas season this year. There was opportunity to spend time with many loved ones and plenty of fun parties. We enjoyed a much-anticipated preschool program, in which Eden debuted as a Shepherd and Sebastien was Gabriel. I am full of love and joy and celebration for the stage of life that my family is in. At the same time, I am grieving as I feel it passing. So far each phase of their development has gotten more and more fantastic. So I trust Go...
