Playing house. . .

I think every parent gets a peak through the window per se into their parenting when their children “play house.”  This is a rather recent playing past time for Fikadu and Tigist and its been wonderful to see it unfold. 
This morning I loved hearing them tell “their children” about God.   Their “daughter” (doll Lisa) had broken [...]

A year ago

Tigist was recently invited to a tea party hosted by one of her friends at church.  The night before we sat down and painted our nails and talked about how fun it was going to be to dress up fancy and drink tea from beautiful dishes. 
After I put her to bed, I couldn’t help but [...]

Recent Pictures

Hope you enjoy!  These are some pictures from our trip to Ohio, goofing around at home, and some water and mud fun out back.  You can click on any picture for a larger view.
 

LOL. . . go ahead

Laugh out loud!  The kids and I certainly did.  I thought I was actually going to pee my pants.

I thought I’d try giving Fikadu a mohawk. . . He and Tigist thought I was crazy. 
So I asked him if he’d rather have this instead. . . .  =)

The Ever Changing Faces of the Taylor Children

Tigist lost her very first tooth yesterday. . .

Then Fikadu, not to be out done, pulled out one of his own. . .

Then Tigist decided her TWO bottom teeth should also come out today!

That makes 4 teeth out in 2 days for the Taylor kiddos!  Craziness!

I got the most colorful bunch of flowers in the entire store as an anniversary gift from the kids!

We dressed up like cows for a free meal at Chick-fil-A . . . . mysteriously there are no pictures of me! =)

 

The kids saw their [...]

RESURFACING. . . .

Well I’ve officially gone for the longest non-posting spurt since starting the blog, but I’m back.  There are just way to many wonderful things I want to remember and share, and since I still stink at scrapbooking, this is my best alternative! 
Here’s some snap shots into what’s been taking place in the Taylor household:
Both children learned [...]

First Family Photos

Our dear friend Alyssa has a professional photography business and was so kind to take our first family photos.  You can head over to her blog at www.alyssaannephotography.blogspot.com for a sneak peak of our pictures.  We are so grateful to you Alyssa for these precious photos!  Thank you!

E’s are Kohnjo!

Tigist during school today announced that her named should be spelled with an E because they are very Kohnjo (beautiful). Now can you all understand why I might forsee some homeschooling difficulties with this beloved daughter of mine??!?!  Seriously, she’s such a free thinker I’m not sure what this analytical, formula tracting mom is going to do!

Soccer Fun

Our church organized a free soccer clinic for the next 8 weeks and kids 4-7 can come out for soccer drills and scrimmages.  It was so much fun and I think Fikadu and Tigist enjoyed it.  Fikadu definitely more so then Tigist, but we think Tigist’s main job for the morning was simply to be [...]
