The sweater is done! Look: I can’t believe I knit a whole sweater in 17 days, that not only fits but looks really great on me too. :)
And another first: Carrie’s first snow day off from school. Between a superintendent’s day, the trip, February break, the past three days when she’s been out sick, and today’s snow day, she’s attended school for 6 days in February. (To be fair, there have only been 13 days when school was actually in session, but [...]
They’re predicting over a foot of snow in the next 24 hours or so. Normally I’d scoff at this (I mean, it’s Rochester, and February, of course there’s going to be snow) but I’ve been stuck in the house with a sick child for three days and there is no milk or bread left. Bread [...]
Carrie is out sick from school today, her first actual sick day this year. Definitely tomorrow too. Poor kid.
I took Carrie ice skating today for the first time, so she could wear the pink ice skates Santa was kind enough to bring her. I pretty much remembered how to skate forwards without falling, but I had a really hard time helping Carrie figure it out. She did make it around the rink three [...]

I have to be crazy, but the yarn, the pattern, and even the buttons conspired to make me temporarily lose my mind and agree to do this. It’s the [...]
Dear Anna, Today you are 19 months old. You are definitely out of baby mode and full-on into toddler mode…and an independent toddler at that! You are very much done with the walking bit. Now, you run. And when you’re not running, you’re climbing. You have no fear. Not one little bit! You thrive on [...]
Our Magical Express bus to the airport was scheduled to pick us up at 5:55 AM, which meant we had to get up at oh-dark-thirty to make it there in time. We were sort of hoping the big storm headed up the East coast would delay us a bit, but no such luck. So, back [...]
Our last day at Disney – this trip anyway – and we headed back to Epcot to see some of the things we didn’t get to the first time there, and to finish our world tour! First, we headed for The Seas. The Nemo ride was a huge hit with the girls, and Anna has [...]
