Dancing Ebby

Thanks to music makers and our occasional dance party at home Ebby is starting to really enjoy dancing. I love seeing him just let go and I thought ya'll might like it too. Enjoy.

P.S. Gold star to all of you who know the song we're dancing to.

Ebby's First Easter Egg Hunt

A Beautiful Autumn

Ebby had a great spring break in Utah too

On the carousel at the mall.

Little Ebby the Flamenco dancer at the Children's Museum. I couldn't get him to actually dance. Sadly.

We could get him to "drive" the stationary car though.

Ebby was SO happy he got to play in the snow with Daddy at the outlet mall.

Apparently he was really tired too. This was taken not even a minute later.

Andrew and I were really excited to eat at Tucanos and everything was great until Ebby started acting up during dinner. I was so embarrassed and frustrated until mild mannered Grandpa Rulon came over, swooped Ebby up and became Super Grandpa! Thanks. You are my hero, Rulon.

Four generations of wonderful Beesley men! (I love that Ebby HAD to eat his cookie for the shot.)

Crazy and Wonderful

So Fridays are some of my craziest days. Oh let's face it, everyday is a crazy day but Fridays are particularly crazy. There's the usual morning of getting ready, eating and what-not. Then we go to music makers for an hour or so. Then home for laundry and house cleaning (I do token cleaning throughout the week but save the massive cleaning for Fridays.) Then, if I've been particularly lazy during the week I do the grocery shopping.

Well today as I was sweeping the main room floor Ebby decided he wanted to help me. He took some of the laundry, dipped it in the toilet, and then started wiping up the bathroom floor with it. Dirty toilet water all over the floor - SO gross. I took him out of the room and began to sanitize when he ran back in with the broom and headed for the wet floor. Argh.

Of course that was the perfect time to feed Autumn, or so she thought. I must have been really neglecting her because she cried a lot during and after the feeding. I thought maybe it was her diaper so I placed her down in front of me and started to change her diaper. As I was taking off her diaper she reached down and grabbed my index finger. I stopped to look at her and the moment I did she smiled. One of her whole body smiles with a gasp. So cute. The whole day was worth it. All the craziness. All the work and rough days are totally worth it when I can sit back for one moment and see my beautiful children.

Some days I need a couple (a lot) of moments.
