My sweet baby

Baby reading 003

I captured this today during our hour of “Silent Reading” time.  Baby Brigham grabbed a board book and chose his tonka truck for his reading spot.  Don’t let his sweet face fool you…. the tongue tells all…. just moments before the flash went off, he ripped the book and stuck out his tongue.  That clenched fist is holding the evidence.  That’s about as wild as this wonderful boy gets.  He seems to be developing the sweetest disposition and inclination towards immediate obediance.  We are enjoying his personality shining through in such exciting ways.  He is our first child to be almost 100% obediant the first time we make a request.  Don’t I sound like a proud mama?

A joyful moment in mothering.

It’s been almost a 2 month break since I have last made a blog entry.  We decided to home school again and I have been pouring my energy into setting up our daily routines, curricula and learning centers!  I LOVE HOMESCHOOLING!!!  I couldn’t be happier!  Here are some photos to update family and friends on the last 2 months of “Larson Life”!

Our first ourside meal of 2009!  We are so excited for Spring to help our yard come alive so we can play outside everyday!  Looking forward to lots of playdates!

Now if you are still reading…. you must be either my mom, mother-in-law or one of my closest best friends.  (or weird internet stalker… why else would you read such a LONG entry?)  So if you are in one of the first three categories… leave me a comment and let me know how you are doing!  Love Karmel

Look mom, no training wheels!

In Abby, Brig Jr., Family Times on June 26, 2008 at 3:28 am

Abby demanded to have her training wheels removed today. She did pretty well staying steady. (Disclaimer: She picks her own outfits.)

After I took her picture she of course wanted to take mine. It was a greasy hair day-hat day. My new stylist insists that I should wash my hair less so I’m trying to take her advice.

Baby sat peacefully watching us. He’s still got terrible skin covered in red, sore patches. Everyone I meet tells me what no-fail remedy I must try. His top two teeth are coming in with a huge gap! He eats like he’s 18!

Happy 6 Months Chubby Buddy!
