Happy Birthday

We had a nice quiet (well, as quiet as it ever gets with two kids) dinner at home and a small ice cream cake to celebrate Denis’ birthday today.  Happy birthday, honey!

Birthday & Biscotti

Yesterday was my birthday.  Denis and the girls got me a lovely mother’s necklace, and we went out to the local hibachi place for dinner with my family.  The girls gave me the best present ever by behaving like angels at the restaurant.  Anna was initially horrified by the giant flames, until she saw the [...]

Welcome Home

I came home from work tonight to candles in the windows.  It’s been on my mile-long to-do list for a while now, to put those up, but it hasn’t managed to percolate to the top yet.  I do so love seeing those in houses this time of year.  I was so shocked to see them [...]

Oh, Christmas Tree

I rearranged the living room a smidge so we could put the tree up this evening.  I do love going through the ornaments we’ve collected throughout the years, and Carrie loves to hang things on the highest branches she can reach while Daddy holds her up.
I remember our first tree - senior year of college, [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Our family has a little extra to be thankful for today.  My cousin (the one who had the baby shower a couple of weeks ago) had her baby this morning.  A little early, but healthy.  We’re so happy to welcome Charles (already nick-named “baby Charlie” by Carolyn) to the family!

Happy Halloween Wedding!

Happy Halloween!
My brother got married today!  Welcome to the family, Genevra!
Carrie was their flower girl, and Anna was…as well-behaved as you’d expect a 15 month old to be at a wedding.  Which is to say, not very.  But the ceremony (at least, what I got to hear) was lovely, and the dinner was fabulous.
We dashed [...]

Bridal Shower

My brother is getting married at the end of this month, and we had a shower for his lovely bride today.  I ended up getting her some cookie making things, and Anna was hilarious - she saw the paper label on the cookie sheets with pictures of cookies on it and was frantically signing “cookie” [...]

Great Gramie

My parents called me this morning to let me know that my great grandmother passed away last night.  She turned 100 last fall.
I remember going to her house and she always had homemade cookies in the freezer.  And she made us pizza fritta - only we called them belly bombers because it was so easy [...]
