http://aimeenielson.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Heart in the clouds. Wednesday, February 16, 2011. The Eve of All Things Z. So here we are.on the eve of it all.he turns 5 tomorrow. Wow, how is that even possible? It feels like we've been barreling toward this moment for such a short time.and yet, so much has happened in 5 years. I love that he still wants to cuddle; he still wants to hold my hand; he still wants me to read him stories. I love that he seems to constantly say "Mommy? Then wait for me to say "yes? Tuesday, February 15, 2011. I about frea...

Everyday With Zachary: March 2011
http://aimeenielson.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Heart in the clouds. Thursday, March 17, 2011. It's been a big week of ups and downs in Montessori land. Tuesday started out pretty crappy when Z got pink slipped for sticking his tongue out and trying to hit a few of the new kids at school. I took him home, sat him down, read him the note and then asked him why he did those things.went a little something like this:. Z: I don't know. Me: Well then you need to think about it and give me a reason because you don't just do that stuff for no reason. In about...

Everyday With Zachary: September 2010
http://aimeenielson.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Heart in the clouds. Tuesday, September 14, 2010. We've been trying to teach Z how to be quiet and sit still during church on Sunday nights because he's really too old for the nursery and there's nothing for his age during the service time. I'd say that we don't get too much out of the service because most of our time is spent sssshing Z and giving him something else to draw on, etc. Most of you moms can empathize with me here, because the majority of children say dada before mama and that's just how it ...

Heart in the clouds. Wednesday, August 8, 2012. So a few nights ago, we all ate dinner around the table.try it sometime, you'll like it! Really, I promise! Afterward we decided to take the dog (oh yeah, we got a puppy on Easter Sunday and that will be a blog post all it's own here in the near future) and go a few miles down to Z's new school. He'll start first grade in ONE week at Wilmore Elementary. Time is zooming by at warp speed I tell ya! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). John Piper - Desiring God.

Everyday With Zachary: The Box
http://aimeenielson.blogspot.com/2011/10/box.html
Heart in the clouds. Friday, October 21, 2011. The thought and focus that goes into the creations is priceless and who am I to squash a future engineer or architect's dreams, right? So last Friday, the last day of fall break, we were driving around town running a few errands when from out of the backseat comes a squeal when we pass Lowe's "MOMMY, stop at Lowe's! Thankfully I didn't wreck the car with the sudden shriek. I asked why and he simply said "I HAVE to make a box and I can get my stuff there!

Heart in the clouds. Monday, January 10, 2011. On the Grow Again. Yesterday, we noticed the eating has abruptly stopped; we couldn't get him to eat more than a couple bites of much of anything. And yes, the belly has arrived and he's having great fun poking it out there and patting it, then sucking it in and laughing. I am still in awe though that through all this growing and eating, he's only gained a pound this year! Friday, January 7, 2011. Yes, Zachary there IS a Santa Claus! Then Z threw him a curve...

Everyday With Zachary: Embarassing
http://aimeenielson.blogspot.com/2012/07/embarassing.html
Heart in the clouds. Wednesday, July 25, 2012. So yes, I'm embarrassed. That's the real reason for the long blog hiatus this. I can relate kiddo, I was scared of the water myself at your age, I told him. I told him I waited until I was 7, even though I trusted Christ long before that, because I was deathly afraid of putting my face in the water. So I never have pushed Z to be baptized because well, that's not what saves us, right? Okay, Okay.let's go, I said. Our church always has an invitational respons...

Everyday With Zachary: June 2011
http://aimeenielson.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Heart in the clouds. Monday, June 13, 2011. Rock-a-bye and goodnight.well sort of. I think we get so busy in our lives that all the sudden we look at them and think.when was the last time I got up him 5 times during the night? Or when was the last time he held my hand walking somewhere other than a forced hold in the parking lot or busy mall? Those "last" milestones just sort of morph into the fog of time.or do they? The whole time I was thinking "will this be the last time we do this? Some pictures of o...
