Carrie and I took Denis’ parents to the Rochester Public Market this morning. It was the first time I’ve been, but it definitely won’t be the last. We came home with a ton of strawberries, a half ton of grapes, a few pears and a bag of green beans, all for $7.25. The strawberries (not [...]
Tonight was the community band (and chorus) concert. It went really well! It was about a million degrees up on stage, though, and I flubbed a note in my solo. Ugh. But I don’t think too many people noticed, and I played it better than usual besides that. Oh, I’m going to miss this music. [...]
As I was getting things ready to take Carolyn out for a walk today, I put her down on her play mat to occupy herself for a bit. Unfortunately, I had to take the criss-cross bars off it recently since she tends to roll into them and get stuck, so it was just her and [...]
I’m still working on the blanket for my cousin’s son’s first birthday. The party is Saturday, and there is absolutely no possible way for me to finish it in time – especially since I’m mucking about on the computer right now rather than crocheting. My only excuse is that I played piano non-stop for 3 [...]
Today was a good day. It was sunny and warm-ish. The Easter Bunny brought Carolyn a basket with the Baby Einstein Neighborhood Animals DVD, a book, and a teething ring. We even managed to make it to church, and we had the best-behaved baby there. Then we spent the afternoon at my grandparents’ house eating [...]
Carrie went to bed at 9:30 last night…and woke up at 6:00 this morning. She fussed a little around 11, but settled herself back down. This is the first time she’s slept through the night in her crib! When she woke up, she started fussing, but she wasn’t screaming or sobbing. And when I walked [...]
Dear Carolyn, Time is certainly flying by – you’re already nearly half a year old! You’ve accomplished so much this month I hardly know where to begin… You’ve learned how to roll over both ways, although you haven’t quite put it together enough to get very far. You can sort of creep along on your [...]
I have quite the collection of Avent feeding supplies – both bottles and disposable nursers, plus a couple of sippy cups – because I have an Avent Isis pump. (Is this too much information?) We’ve given Carrie a couple of bottles, but the last one was two months ago. Silly me, I didn’t think there [...]
A few people (hopefully nobody who reads this blog) have suggested that as a stay-at-home mom, having all sorts of “free time”, I ought to be doing ______ (fill in the blank). I think they assume that I sit in front of the television and eat bon-bons all day. (Oh, wait, that’s what I’m supposed [...]
Denis is off on a business trip in warm, sunny California while I’m stuck here in the cold snow. (Which is melting, revealing a winters’ worth of dog poo.) I’m such a wimp – he’s only been gone for 12 hours, and I’m already feeling the heavy burden of responsibility of being the sole caretaker [...]
