I have so many little matters to tell you of, that I cannot wait any longer before I begin to put them down.

We’re into week 2 of quarantine here, with Derek the weekend casualty to pinkeye and a reluctant addition to Janie’s and my coughing chorus. The big kids do seem to have bounced back quickly and are chafing at more housebound days (and rain–so they can’t even play outside!). Thank goodness for the Olympics. We are […]

We’re all feeling yucky with chest colds and pinkeye (thusfar Tommy is the only one who had symptoms, and I immediately started dropping breastmilk in his eye–one reason to be glad that Janie is not weaned yet). So any pictures of us right now would not be pretty. But here are some pictures from our […]

Last night, Ginny brought her boys over to do a Valentine’s Day photo shoot. We figured it would take two moms to handle the props and the babies. We both got some great pictures of our kiddos! I’m saving some of them for Valentines, but I couldn’t resist a little preview…

On Saturday, we met Jack and his parents at the Moorpark Teaching Zoo, just up the road! It’s pretty small, but we got to watch them feed the cougar. It was such a perfect, warm afternoon that we had to get a couple of photo shoot pictures, too.

I’d like to say that we’re getting back into the swing of things. Janie is certainly back to her normal behavior. Well, tupperware is tupperware everywhere, and you don’t need to get out of your pajamas to spread it all over the kitchen. The kids jumped back into playing and making messes before I’d unpacked […]

We’re home, and we’re trying to adjust. I just cleared 600+ pictures off my camera card, and here are a few last ones from Michigan. We celebrated Derek’s and Tommy’s birthdays with a Detroit Tigers cake! In addition to his rugged good looks and keen wit, Uncle Matthew is also pretty good at feeding fussy […]

This week, we took advantage of our SB Natural History Museum membership reciprocity to get into the Cranbrook Institute of Science for free. I’m not a big natural science museum fan in general, and I certainly wouldn’t pay to go again, but it was a fun little field trip. The kids’ favorite activity: digging for […]
Since my grandpa didn’t make it down to John’s wedding, the kids and I drove over for a little visit.
