About Me
My name is Tami and I live in central Illinois with my husband, Larry and three children, Caleb (7), Camden (5) and Emma Grace (3). I hope you'll enjoy reading about my life as a wife/mother and about our family's adventures.
First Day of School 2010
This past week was the first week of school for the boys. Emma will start preschool in a couple of weeks.
Camden started Kindergarten…
and Caleb started 1st grade.
The boys are so excited to be together in the same school this year.
Caleb has a great teacher and is excited for this school year.
Camden has the same teacher Caleb had last year (we love her) and is just happy to finally be in Kindergarten.

Back to Nature
A couple of weeks ago the kids had the day off of school. We have a nature center close by and decided to head there for the morning.
The kids packed their binoculars and a compass for our morning of exploring. We went into the nature center first and looked around at all the different exhibits and watched the birds at the bird feeders.
Then we went outside and headed to Imagination Grove, a special place designed for kids. We had to walk on a trail and over a covered bridge to get there.
The boys enjoyed hopping over the tree stumps.
Emma just stood on hers, she was too scared to hop over.
We found a hollowed out tree stump that the boys climbed in.
Their favorite part was the kids zip line. Caleb loved it and went several times.
Camden liked it too, but did get a little scared at the end.
After we were done at the nature center, we went up the road to buy some local maple syrup.

Mother’s Tea 2010
My mom’s name is Tami. She is 40 years old. She has long hair, it is brown. Her eyes are maybe blue. Her favorite thing to eat is spaghetti and broccoli. She likes to go to Chili’s. I like to play tic-tac-toe at restaurants with my mom. At home we play games and go to the park. I like the swings and slides. My favorite thing to do with my mom is plant flowers. I love my mom because she gives me kisses! Camden, age 5

Easter 2010
We had a great Easter weekend with our kids.
On Saturday, we hung around the house and dyed some eggs in the afternoon.
On Sunday morning, after the kids had looked through their Easter baskets and had an Easter egg hunt, we headed to church. The boys sang in the children’s choir and did an excellent job.
Camden kept insisting that he wasn’t tired, but he kept yawning…all day.
