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

If you’d asked me 3 or 4 years ago if I would ever take three kids to a pumpkin patch by myself, the answer would have been emphatically NO. Taking just Tommy to the pumpkin patch by myself would have been too overwhelming! But with a paucity of local friends and residual runny noses we […]

With last week’s runny nose and all, I decided to wait for Susanna’s little 6 month photo shoot. I’m so proud of her for sitting up. She so badly wants to crawl!

It’s her half year birthday today! No pictures, because would you believe it, our card reader isn’t working today of all days. We don’t have her check-up for another couple of weeks, but according to our fancy new scale, she weighs 14 lbs in her clothes. Other stats…she’s still a peanut, comfortably in 3-6 month […]
Usually first thing in the morning, I emerge from feeding Susanna to find Tommy hard at work on artwork. This morning, he’s trying to copy the first page of Lentil. Susanna likes to watch. And Elizabeth is having a picnic breakfast with Lucy.

In the ever-changing competition for “Favorite Uncle,” Matthew has pulled into the lead, thanks to a visit this morning (and great gifts). helping put up the playhouse (at last!)… reading, with E in the bow he gave her… holding the drool machine…
Potty Training Update: The non parents in the audience might want to skip this. Elizabeth has some really good days (no accidents, no reminders to use the potty) and some not-so-good days. Today was the latter. We had a little friend whose dad teaches with Derek come over for a play date, and Elizabeth was […]
