I'm the Little Sister

We pulled out the camera to take some pictures of Addie in her 'I'm the little sister' t-shirt. This gift was given to Addie by an older couple that was visiting college. I think they were especially fond of the gift because they also had two boys and then their third was a little girl. They gave the gift to Addie when she was only a week old, but I have a feeling they knew what was instore for her with two big brothers for many months and years to come!

And part of being the little sister is being in the middle of your brothers' pranks!

One Thumb Up One Foot Down!

About the name

During these early years of parenting, I feel that I am constantly giving my sons and daughter encouragement to try something new and then immediately turning around and telling them to stop doing something else. This 'One Thumb Up, One Foot Down' approach of life isn't that far from how my own life feels at times - movements forward and backwards, highs and lows - and this blog is my attempt to share some of these moments with you. I invite you to join me on the ride as often as you can...

This blog is designed to be our family scrapbook. We don't want to bore you and make you flip through a book every time you visit us, but we do invite you to visit here any time you like.
