Baking Elf
We came downstairs this morning to discover the following scene in the kitchen:
Pannakukken ingredients
Note from the baking elf
The note reads:
Dear Griffin, Maggie, Oliver, Andrew, and Sarah,
I’m the ROSE! The baking elf. We’re going to make Pannakukken!
From: Rose
So that’s exactly what we did.
Mister Flu
The flu has really laid me out, and I’ve mostly been in bed since Sunday afternoon. Griffin and Maggie just delivered a box full of get well wishes, and it totally made my week. I’ve got a pretty great family ❤️
Appendix
Not exactly how we planned to spend our Thursday, but G is now appendix-less and is recovering semi-comfortably. Thankful for trusting my (also appendix-less) gut, fantastic staff at Children’s Hospital, parents and friends who help take care of our other two kids, and overall health, all things considered. The staff here have been raving about how fantastic this kid is, and I couldn’t agree more wholeheartedly. Looking forward to getting home! ❤️

Still Life with Children
It feels especially hard these days to find the beauty in everyday moments, but I’m trying harder to look at my world each day and find something to make me smile. These kids, man: they’re pretty great.
Halloween 2018
Sarah was inspired this year. A green dragon, a red, dragon, a mermaid, Prince Ronald, and the Paper Bag Princess!
Why I Am Currently Losing My Mind
Oliver <sitting in his high chair, wearing a sweatshirt>: ZIP! ZIP! ZIP!
Me: You want me to unzip your sweatshirt?
Oliver: NO! ZIP!!
Me: You’re right, your sweatshirt doesn’t have zips, it has buttons.
Oliver: Buttons!
Me: Yes, buttons.
Oliver: ZIP ZIP!!
Me: Do you want your sweatshirt off?
Oliver: ON!
Me: Ok. You can keep it on.
Oliver: OFF!!
Me: You want help taking it off?
Oliver: Uh-huh.
<I help him unbutton and take off his sweatshirt>
Oliver: ON! ON! ON! ON! ZIP! ZIP!
Me: <throws sweatshirt in his face>
Maggie’s Quilt
I finally finished the quilt I started for Maggie before she was born, and it really was more rewarding finishing it now because she loves it so much ❤️
