The Skarin Family Blog

If I had a dollar for every time Evan uttered those words over the last few weeks, I’d be a rich woman.  Instead, I have lots of construction paper projects hanging on my fridge.  I guess I am rich with the memories we are making.  (As you will see, there is an obvious reason why Mommy was a math teacher...

Since Logan was born, and even shortly before, Bruce and I have been talking about getting Evan involved in some sort of class or toddler program.  We get together with friends and cousins as often as schedules allow but a bit more socialization never hurts.  We also felt it would be good for him to improve his listening skills in...

I am looking forward to the day when we can just put both boys in the tub to take a bath together.  No more of Evan in the big tub and Logan in his little tub on the bathroom floor or having to do them one at a time.  I feel like we waste so much water!  Today, I decided...

We love having parties and hosting get togethers.  We used to get stressed about it and argue a little while trying to get ready but now we seem to have a good system worked out and we can put together a party for 30 people with relatively little effort.  Most of the parties we host are during the summer when...

Every night before I go to bed, I peek in on the boys.  I check to see that they are covered up and warm enough, give them another good night kiss and tell them that I love them.  Despite what may have happened during the day and what struggles we might have encountered, at night they are my sleeping angels!...

In my opinion, today was the perfect snow day.  The sun was shining brightly and felt warm.  There was enough snow to play in but not so much that you were up to your knees when walking through it.  It was warm enough to stay outside for a while making putting on all of the snow gear worth the time...

Logan, today you are three months old!  You are smiley, giggly, nosey, chatty, fidgety, wiggly and drooly.  You weigh 16 pounds, 13 ounces and are wearing 6 month clothes and size two (soon to be size three) diapers.  You have lived through some hot, humid, end of summer weather as well as tropical storm/hurricane Sandy (which was really pretty uneventful...

Sometimes it is nice to just have a quiet family weekend at home.  This weekend was just that for us.   Photo slideshow from the original blog. The slideshow service (Picasa/Flash) has been discontinued, so these photos can no longer be displayed here.

Halloween this year was a four day long celebration.  It started on Sunday at Gramma & Papa’s.  We all got together to watch the Patriots game and to talk about the anniversary party from Saturday night.  While we were there, Gramma gave Halloween bags to the three older boys (Logan is still a bit too little for candy).  They had...

Lots of little daily occurrences with two sweet little boys = Lots of pictures and lots of fun! Photo slideshow from the original blog. The slideshow service (Picasa/Flash) has been discontinued, so these photos can no longer be displayed here.
