Tia Maria Visits!

Posted on 2015-06-282018-04-10 by jesslee

We had a great visit from Tia Maria recently. Man, my godmother is amazing. It was super duper fun pants to hang out. We even had a few of the Mark Tucker Clan hang out with us during the visit. OH and we had dinner from Farm to Feast which was pretty darn good. Delivered to us by someone we love. Moxie and Keen got some great quality time.

Haircut!

Well, Mox got a haircut. She had a great time. Keen slept through it.

Dino-mite!

Last week Keen and Mox went to the zoo with their amazing nanny Ms. Debrah. She and a couple other nannies pooled their collective child care power and took the kiddos out. It looks like they had serious fun. Keen’s favorite parts were the cool mist and chewing on her moose. Mox loved petting the donkey.

Matching jammies

Bibi is the provider of all jammies in the Dorsey-Lee home. Literally all our children’s sleepwear is provided by her. She’s got good taste. Here are the sweet punk rockers in matching twiga jammies. Please ignore Strider’s foot in some of them.

Keen is not impressed by Mox pretending to pick her nose. Bibi is just happy to be surviving her week in MD.

I like the poke in the eye at the end.

First tooth!!

Keen has her first tooth!! She’s got a little sharp white thing sticking out of her bottom lip. From the way she isn’t sleeping and the way she is drooling–there will be another one soon. It is impossible to get a picture but here’s a different one.

Bear and Justin

Mox and Keen got some quality time with Aunt Bear and Justin. During this trip we also learned that both Justin and Strider have an incredible hatred of Tupperware. Good to know.

Saturday Mornings

Posted on 2015-04-122018-04-10 by jesslee

On Saturday mornings we do two things: we go to music class and then we go to lunch with our friends. It is a really great way to start the weekend. Moxie and Riley are about the same age–and Coen and Keen are also just a few months apart. We love Saturdays. This is honestly one of our favorite traditions right now.

After class Ms. Sue gives out stickers. Moxie picked the stickers AND placement for herself and her sister.

Moxie and Riley wait patiently while we jam the babies into their snowsuits.

They help push the strollers to our eating destination.

Keen is two months old!

Keen is the big 2 months old. She is smiling, cooing, and continuing to poop like a machine. She has already had 3 colds and a stomach flu. We couldn’t be more proud.

Sick day(s)

Posted on 2015-03-062018-04-10 by jesslee

Well, it happened. It finally happened. Moxie puked her brains out. A lot. We’d made it 2.5 years without a stomach bug in our little Rocket but our number got drawn and it has hit us like a ton of bricks. Best news? Keen caught it too! An 8 week old baby with dry heaves is pretty heartbreaking. We are comforted by the fact that neither of them will remember this.

Moxie has been home all week. Wednesday and Thursday we had strider home in part due to the epic snowfall in the DC area and in part because my hair was starting to fall out. I’d like to say the week has looked mostly like this:

And this:

But honestly it has looked more like this:

And this:

But there were some of these sweet snuggles:

And last night we let her put sprinkles in snow

But I’ll be honest PBS kids might not have an episode of anything that we haven’t seen 7 times.

Our kids are alive. Pinterest can suck it and Caillou is a jerk.

Singing to her sister

Posted on 2015-03-032018-04-10 by jesslee

This morning Keen needed some diaper free time and Moxie helped entertain her by singing. After the song Moxie said, “I’m a good helping big sister.” It was absolutely heart melting. I wonder how long she will like helping…
