I came to the conclusion pretty early on that my babies were two very different people, but lately I’ve noticed how very, very, different they are. Let’s see… Carrie’s natural clock would have her go to bed at 10 PM and wake up at 8 AM. Anna’s natural clock would have her go to bed [...]
Dear Anna, Yesterday you turned five months old! I honestly don’t know where the time has gone – I alternate between feeling like you just got here and having a hard time remembering a time before you arrived. If I had written this letter on time, I would have said you were thisclose to rolling [...]
Happy birthday to meeeee! We had a fairly quiet evening in – just ordered pizza, had cake and decorated the tree. Although in retrospect, giving a four year old cake and then letting her stay up late and expecting her to help hang ornaments on a tree without knocking more off than she put on [...]
I took the girls to the mall today for their “official” Santa visit. (Carolyn has sat on Santa’s lap several times already. She’s a little obsessed.) Anna did surprisingly well considering a) she had just woken up from a nap and b) she’s pretty concerned about being held by people she doesn’t see nearly every [...]

My little petri dishes, that is. I think I’ve been sick pretty much non-stop since Carrie started preschool this fall, and poor little Anna is going to have the most robust immune system ever. If you’re looking to buy some stock in a company, whoever owns Puffs might not be a bad investment. Just sayin’.
Lots to be thankful for this year, especially these two cuties: After watching some of the parade on TV, we spent the day at my grandparents’ house, cooking, eating, and chatting…and eating some more! Isn’t Anna’s turkey onesie cute?!? I love orange!
So I read the whole Twilight series of books, and for the most part enjoyed it. I went to see the movie last night, and it was…underwhelming? For example, I loved the adaptations of both the Harry Potter series (well, the ones I’ve seen so far) and the Lord of the Rings books to screen, [...]
Dear Carolyn, Today I told you that I’ve been writing letters to you on my blog, for you to read when you’re older. I wanted to know if that was OK with you, or if you would want me to stop. Now I don’t expect that you know what exactly it means, that these letters [...]
