Today is my Dad’s birthday. We didn’t get a chance to see him today, although Carrie did get to wish him a happy birthday on the phone. Happy birthday, Daddy! In other news, it was “Pirates and Princesses” day at school today. The kids got to wear a costume to school, so Carrie spent the [...]
I have had a digital SLR for more than 5 years, and I’ve barely ever used any lens on it but the one it came with. This afternoon it was almost warm and since Anna was napping Carrie and I decided to hang out outside for a while. On a whim, I dug out the [...]
Dear Carolyn, I don’t know where the months go – I feel like I’m writing one of these letters to you every day. At the same time, as you’re getting older, not that much changes from month to month… Sleep has been slightly better. I’m almost afraid to type that, but your bug phobia (which [...]
My “little” brother turns 30 today. Which makes me…older than 30. ;) He’s on vacation someplace warm right now. I hope he brings home some sunshine!
We went to the museum today. One of Carrie’s favorite parts was actually in the planetarium, where they had a huge screen and colored lights set up to show how cyan, magenta and yelow light could combine to make the other colors. Carrie definitely had fun making her colorful shadows dance! I think we’ll stick [...]
I found a used Bumbo seat on craigslist a week or so ago. Anna seems to like it, and it’s especially useful when we take Carrie to dance class – I don’t have to either carry a stroller down to the basement or juggle holding Anna while changing Carrie into her dance things. I just [...]
(I’m aware that it’s technically the day after Valentine’s Day…) Yes, that is a shirt with a sheep that says “I (heart) ewe”. A Christmas gift from Uncle Dan and Aunt Genevra. Though I would totally have bought it myself if I had seen it! After all, that’s what mommy knitters do! Would you believe [...]
This morning I sent Carrie off to school with her hand-made Valentines: These can be summed up in one word: MESSY. Good gracious, I think I’m going to be finding glitter from these for the next several months! And I think I’d get card stock for next time. We used construction paper, pre-cut heart doilies, [...]
Dear Anna, Today you are seven months old. That sounds so much older than six months, though of course it’s not really that much older! It’s been quite a day – Mommy’s car has gone over 50,000 miles and we refinanced the house. You had your first breakfast out today – you were so proud [...]
Yep, that’s right, six weeks of posts just suddenly appeared in your RSS reader (all 5 of you still reading this, that is.) I could blame it on the kids, or I could blame it on playing Animal Crossing for a bit each night, or I could blame it on the knitting… But the reality [...]
