Titus with his pancake and "dip dip"


Titus and his ice cream!  "What!  You won't give me any more?"

Favorite Things to Do: Anything anyone else is doing...

turning light switches on/off - our friend and nursery director, Mrs. Stonecipher, said he also loves reaching for the light switches in his class at church 

basketball with the kids outside

vacuuming with Mom

taking the dog outside (when Dave or Isaac are taking Tex out, he loves to run over to the door so he can out with them - this is a big deal to him!)

On this same day, I suddenly realized that I didn't know where Titus was.  Sure enough, I found him walking down the friend's entrance steps with Dave's Brooks running shoes on and this hat of Emma's!  He had also let Tex out, ha!

wearing shoes

walking around with the mop/window cleaning pole/Swiffer at Mom-o's house

singing (he hums and sings nearly all the time..."Jesus Loves Me," "Kum Ba Yah," "Alleluia" from "All I Have is Christ"{I was singing this last night while rocking him, and he was singing "Alleluia" so loudly with me on the chorus}, "Old McDonald"). Many early mornings Dave and I hear him singing in his bed, and he also sings at naptime and nighttime before falling asleep. 

reading books (sometimes)- especially his photo album that I made him for his first birthday and the "Daddy" book with photos of Dave in it

going to the park (When I go on our usual route with Titus in the stroller, he says "swing" when I turn from Timberline onto Greenleaf; one time I turned before the usual way to the park, and he burst into tears and kept saying "swing, swing, swing!")

swimming!

February 2023


February was filled with many special days!
Isaac made 2nd chair for the Texas Private Schools Music Association All-Region Honor Band for the second year in a row!  Flower Mound CDA had the greatest number of students of all the participating schools that auditioned and made the honor bands!  Isaac loved his time practicing with the guest conductor, and we were so happy to hear them play on Saturday afternoon.

All-Region is held at The Greenhill School in Dallas, and the kids loved finding the peacocks on campus!



Josiah's friend from school came to his 8:00 a.m. basketball game one Saturday!  Josiah was so very proud!

Donuts with Dad for Logic School students at school

I coordinated Josiah's class Valentine party, and I also was able to pop over to Emma's party a few times since their classes are next door to each other.

the back says "love you more than Texas"

chess with friends ("This is what CDA boys do for fun!") :)

February was also filled with many sweet, small moments....

"cleaning" with Titus - the vacuum, Swiffer at Mom-o's, and mop are some of his favorites!

Emma loves to wear costumes on home days, and this day she also wanted a "crown braid."
Of course, she was cleaning in her gown, too!
