Much to the big sister’s chagrin everything must now be shared. Suddenly baby’s not too small anymore. Thankfully there was enough watermelon for everybody. Read the rest of this entry »

Summer Corn
Makes me feel fine? Seriously, I’m sorry I can’t help these things. I think I’d forgotten how good corn could be. We’ve eaten plenty of it this summer and it’s been good but this was GOOD. With all the birthday parties this weekend I didn’t make it to the market so we went to a teeny tiny one yesterday. There were exactly three vendors. I’ve never been to a market quite so small. But I did find everything I needed so I guess I can’t complain. Read the rest of this entry »

Two Parties
Two cakes, two outfit changes, two, maybe three goodie bags. The weekend of many parties. So many parties that I could hardly keep it all straight and almost showed up two hours early for one. Whoops.
I have plenty of things on my to do list but I’m recovering tonight from all the time I spent in the last few days cutting felt into tiny pieces. Today’s birthdays were for two of Chase’s very special friends so we made some very special gifts. Chase even helped me do some sewing on the machine.
The thing about making surprises is the waiting. As soon as I pull stuff off the machine I want to run right out and give it to the intended recipient. Sometimes before I even cut off the threads and finish up properly. These two projects didn’t involve too much sewing but I did kill an entire bottle of fabric glue.

My Happy Girl
I haven’t seen her in over 24 hours. Well, once briefly this afternoon but every other minute has been filled with wheezing, snot, and a hideous barking cough. Chase never got sick like this. A could I can handle. This is something different entirely. She woke up with a runny nose and about 10 minutes after I took this picture around 1pm she started coughing. Read the rest of this entry »

Crazy Monkeys
The last 24 hours here have been a little crazy. Some time yesterday Avery started practicing rolling over back to front. She’s done it before but I mean really practicing. Like over and over again. Then some time around 5 this morning she decided to practice again. Read the rest of this entry »

Cheers!
It’s only a mildly disturbing picture of an infant holding a tiny wine glass (they’re on clearance at IKEA for $1.99). She said it had good terroir. Not really. She mostly just screamed into the cup to hear her voice amplified. Read the rest of this entry »

Three Years Ago…
I was celebrating that Chase finally gave up on the 4am feeding. I guess I took a more no nonsense approach this time around but it certainly didn’t feel that way.
I was commuting to DC WITH Chase and helping to close down the law office.
I was thinking that Chase was learning how to give a high five? Hmm, not sure about that one.
The archives are fun. I was evidently a very excited new mommy.

It’s Wednesday, we’re halfway there. Meanwhile, the summer continues to fly by in spite of its JUST having started. We haven’t quite found our rhythm yet. Either I remember towels but forget our bathing suits or I remember bathing suits but forget our lunch. I have yet to get it quite right. Read the rest of this entry »

Congo and Bongo
I found Congo and Bongo in a box in the basement. I should have probably sold all of the Beanie Babies on Ebay or maybe they’re old enough to go on Antiques Roadshow at this point? Instead I decided to pull the tags off and let my children go to town. Congo and Bongo are by far the most popular. Stellaluna is cute too but doesn’t get to enjoy all the rough and tumble play that the monkeys do. Read the rest of this entry »

Fresh Pyjamas
I put off writing until today because I have shingles! Shingles. Seriously. Honestly, who gets shingles? Had I written last night it would have sounded a lot like wah, wah,wah but after 36 hours you can cross one of those wah’s out.
